A research consortium led by Nestlé Research in Switzerland made a recent discovery that the natural molecule trigonelline present in coffee, fenugreek, and also in the human body, can help to improve muscle health and function. The work builds on a previous collaborative study that described novel mechanisms of human sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is a condition where cellular changes that happen during aging gradually weaken the muscles in the body and lead to accelerated loss of muscle mass and strength and reduced physical independence. One important problem during sarcopenia is that the cellular cofactor NAD+ declines during aging, while mitochondria, the...

When Dr. David Kao tells patients they have atrial fibrillation, their first question is usually "Do I have to give up coffee?" His answer often surprises them: No. "Because it's a stimulant, they feel their heart is going to race and be worse off, especially when you have an arrhythmia like atrial fibrillation," said Dr. José Joglar. "But it's not in the science." Joglar was the lead author of new guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association on diagnosing and treating atrial fibrillation, or AFib, published recently in Circulation.

Caffeine restriction can help improve and reduce the severity of primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE), according to a study. Sadra Rezakhaniha and colleagues investigated the effect of caffeine restriction on the improvement and severity of PMNE in a randomized clinical trial involving 534 children aged 6 to 15 years. Caffeine consumption was <30 mg/day in the intervention group and 80 to 110 mg/day in the control group. Before caffeine restriction, the mean number of bed-wettings was 3.5 and 3.4 times/week in the intervention and control groups, respectively. The researchers found that at one month after the intervention, the mean number...

Conflicting timeline reports and identical language used by numerous officers in separate reports raise questions.. A 104-page report issued three months after the events at the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021, said the Capitol Police’s Civil Disturbance Unit (CDU) was ordered by supervisors not to use “heavier, less-lethal weapons,” like flash bangs. However, video evidence—along with Capitol Police Use of Force Reports obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times—exposes conflicts in timelines, the brutality of the unprovoked attacks against Jan. 6 protesters, and how leadership ordered the deployment of munitions on a peaceful crowd.

There is no question that whiskey, maple syrup and coffee are all individually delicious. As I was exploring new iced coffee options, I was surprised at how well all three of them work together though. Now even after I knew the ingredients necessary for this drink, it took some time to get the proportions just right. I found it was a delicate balance to find the perfect sweetness with the syrup, bite with the whiskey and flavor of the coffee. Too much of any of them threw off the drink. After much experimentation, I found the proportions that I think...
