ACCORDING to a new study done by Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, if you are trying to lose weight, then you may have to cut down on coffee consumption, as it may trigger the temptation for sweet treats.
During the study, the researchers found that caffeine not only boosts alertness, but also reduces a person's perception of sweetness, which may make them desire more for such flavours.
The results reveal that people find caffeinated drinks less sweet, suggesting that coffee changes how you perceive taste.
While getting on the plane first for your flight may be exciting, experts have found it dramatically increases the risk of infection if another passenger is unwell.
Researchers from Arizona State University made the discovery after studying plane-boarding scenarios to see how infection spreads if one passenger is sick.
They found if a sick passenger seated in 16B boarded after everyone in front of them had taken their seat, the other travellers were more likely to catch an infection.
Sitting in the aisle was also bad if you wanted to avoid catching a disease from a fellow traveller.
They said using a two-zone boarding process, seating half the plane from the front and half from the back, would lower passenger contact by 27%.
