Enough sleep helps weight loss If you're trying to lose weight, you may want to hit the hay a little early tonight. A new study finds that women who get less than five hours of sleep a night gain more weight than people who sleep a solid seven hours.

A new study tracked nearly 30,000 women over 15 years. Those who drank between one and three cups of coffee a day significantly reduced their risk of dying from cardio-vascular and inflammatory diseases. Coffee is considered a major source of dietary anti-oxidants Artificial sweeteners affects drunkenness If you prefer cocktails to coffee, your mixer may make a big difference.

"They take what is a toxic chemical to us and they convert it into a source of energy and food for them,".said environmental scientist Bill Wolverton.
