2 To 3 Cups of Coffee a Day May Reduce Dementia Risk. But Not if It's Decaf.

If you think your daily doses of espresso or Earl Grey sharpen your mind, you just might be right, new science suggests.

The Bizarre Enhancement Claims Rocking Ski Jumping

German newspaper Bild reported in January that some ski jumpers have been injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid ahead of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics -- the theory being that temporarily enlarged genitalia would yield looser-fitting suits when measured by 3D scanners, and those looser suits could act like sails to produce longer jumps. A study published last October in the scientific journal Frontiers found that a 2cm suit change... Read more
