The Evidence: Brain function declines at a markedly faster rate in nondrinkers than in moderate drinkers. Source: a Columbia University study of 1,416 people, published in Neuroepidemiology, 2006.
A study of nearly 60,000 Norwegian women found that expectant mothers who drank two cups of coffee per day were more likely to have underweight babies and longer pregnancies. The research established a link between caffeine consumption of 200-300 mg per day and lower birth weights, increasing the odds of a small baby by up to 62%. More than two cups of coffee per day was found to be especially risky. One cup of coffee per day was shown to lengthen labor by about eight hours.
Chocolate may help improve brain function and cognition. A study found that participants who consumed cocoa flavonols in moderate doses through beverages had improved memory, task switching, and hand-eye coordination. Flavonols present in dark chocolate are thought to increase insulin sensitivity and cerebral blood flow, strengthening brain function. Scientists also found that people who regularly consumed foods like chocolate, wine or tea rich in flavonols scored higher on cognitive tests than those with little flavonol intake. To gain these benefits, it is best to choose high quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa rather than typical candy bars.

In 2011, the Easter dates matched for both Western and Eastern Christian churches.

1. What are processed meats?
Not all meat is bad. Any meat
that has anything done to it to
extend its shelf life, or to
change its colour or taste, or
to make it more palatable in
any way is considered
processed.
The methods used for
processing meats include
preserving, canning, freezing,
refrigeration, and dehydration.
Many processed meats are
made with unhealthy nitrates,
nitrites, trans-fats, saturated
fats and large amounts of
sodium and sugar.
By far, the most common
form of processing is salting
or curing.
Processed meats make global
news once again. A new study
published in the journal, BMC
Medicine, concluded that diets
that are high in processed meats
would increase the risk of heart
attack and stroke.
