It doesn’t seem like Medical experts have yet made up their mind regarding whether caffeine is good or bad for us. In a latest study, it has been found that drinking two to three cups of coffee per day could lower their risk of erectile dysfunction by 42%.

Recently, a new study was conducted on caffeine by the researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. They found that men, drinking approximately two to three cups of coffee per day may have a lower risk of erectile dysfunction.

In April, the study was filed in the open-access journal PLOS ONE and was publicized on Wednesday by the university. The study looked at data from a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of more than 3,700 men 20 years old and above.

Findings of a new study have showed that eating one large meal and fasting the rest of the day causes pre-diabetic condition of insulin resistance in liver. The study was conducted on mice, but researchers firmly believe that the results are highly likely to be applicable for human beings as well.

Going by what researchers have determined through their study results, liver stops responding to insulin as a direct result of following the practice. Continuous production of glucose increases the level of sugar in blood to an extent that is considered unsafe by health experts.

Consumer Reports found that sunscreens didn’t meet the SPF claim on their labels.

SPF (sun protection factor) is usually an important factor for consumers when it comes to choosing a sunscreen. It is basically a relative measure of how long a sunscreen will protect a consumer from UVB rays.

The rays can cause sunburn and skin cancer. It has been recommended by many dermatologists and other experts to use a sunscreen that delivers an SPF of 30 or higher. SPF 30 blocks 97% or more of the sun’s UVB rays.

Consumer Reports tested 34 sunscreens and found almost a third of them missed the SPF mark by 16 to 70%. However, out of the sunscreens tested by Consumer Reports, many met their SPF claim and some of the most effective products were also the lowest-priced.

People suffering from epilepsy suffer from serious issues and face high risk of seizures or abnormal neural activity. Therefore, a non-profit organization, known as 4 Paws for Ability is offering patients a solution that has proven more beneficial than expected. The Ohio-based 4 Paws breeds and trains service dogs.

Karen Shirk, founder of 4 Paws for Ability, said the organization is teaming service dogs up with people suffering from disabilities in order to provide them companionship as well as an overall improved quality of life.

Although, other agencies specifically train dogs to help people with seizures, this organization does not exclude young children, which means that it offers services to patients of all ages.

It was a treat this week for people who loved watching ’90s educational show “Bill Nye the Science Guy”, as its shows were on Netflix.

The show, which continued from 1993 to 1998, had mixed stuff for its viewers ranging from experiments and songs. Common factor in all of them was they were based on science themes like gravity and pollution.

Not the whole series were shown, but few episodes from the five seasons. In past few years, Nye has created a niche for himself in the science field. He has almost done everything, which many scientists avoid doing. He has features on many debates with science-doubters.

As per NASA data, there is around 3,000 tons of space debris in low-earth orbit. The debris comprises of old satellites, parts of rockets and bodies and other parts formed owing to the collision with other larger objects.

The debris is not safe for the International Space Station (ISS), satellites and other spacecrafts. Debris impact can damage satellite, as most of space debris travel about 22,370 miles per hour. Rather than declining, the problem is on rise as more number of satellites and spacecraft are being sent into space.
