Coffee ‘cuts Prostate Cancer Risk’ US Study Suggests

After times of studies of almost 50,000 US males, researchers have found out  that the risk to die from prostate cancer can be reduced with drinking coffee.  Men who drink like six or more cups of coffee a day have less the chance to get or develop the disease. Not only prostate cancer can be reduced by drinking coffee, also other diseases are rarer when you are a coffee drinker.  On the other hand, coffee is not a cure to prostate cancer. So the research is not created to help to prevent men who suffer from prostate cancer to cure the disease.
I think this article is funny to read. I don’t mean this in a weird way. But I think this research is kind of interesting. It is a small and interesting research. I did not even know that coffee could help or could help preventing prostate cancer. Now I wonder what is in the coffee. With other words, what am I drinking? There must be some trash in it because otherwise it wouldn’t prevent a disease from happening. I find this article interesting to read. Not that I know much more right now, but as I said it is interesting.

Glasgow University researches brainwaves

Glasgow University researches brainwaves
After times of researching Scientists of the University of Glasgow believe they got closer to being able to read people’s minds. After a research which concludes the decoding of human brainwaves the researchers found out that they are able to decode what they were thinking and related to their vision. First the researchers asked the volunteers to identify several different emotions just by images of faces of human beings. After that they measured the results using EEG (electroencephalography). Then they compared the answers to the brainwaves they recorded and were able to decode the information the brainwaves gave, relating to the vision.
I think this is a very interesting article. The article is about science and the human being and human behavior. I always found that very interesting. I have never thought of a way to decode the human thoughts. I didn’t know the brainwaves were related to the way of thinking of the human being. I find that so cool. On the other hand, I’m not sure if this article is very objective. But that is something people are always dealing with when they are researching the human brain. You can’t really prove it is true. And that is what I thought while reading this article. I don’t know if I can believe this research.
