Foodie calls… A new study by researchers at Azusa Pacific University and University of California- Merced found that 23% to 33% of women admitted to going on at least one “foodie call” – basically, going on a date with someone they are not interested in, just to get a free meal. Researchers found that the women who were most likely to participate in foodie calls were also likely to have negative personality traits, like narcissism, and they were more likely to be deceitful and dishonest. (ABC13.com,Science Daily)

A good reason for another cup of coffee …A new study has found that drinking coffee could help you lose weight. Apparently coffee stimulates “brown fat,” which helps the body burn calories. Yep, not all fat is bad. Brown fat burns calories while white fat stores calories. According to Michael Symonds, a professor at the University of Nottingham, this is “the first study in humans to show that something like a cup of coffee can have a direct effect on our brown fat functions. The potential implications of our results are pretty big, as obesity is a major health concern for society and we also have a growing diabetes epidemic and brown fat could potentially be part of the solution in tackling them.” Exercise and quality sleep also stimulate brown fat production.
