Salar boh ... @Tianmo your favourite drink, cannot take in too much (suggested adults only consume 400mg of caffeine a day) ... Yahoo news: Caffeine Could Seriously Harm Men's Fertility: Should We All Just Quit? Caffeine has hit the headlines again as it's been found to seriously affect men's fertility. New research has found that drinking just two strong cups of Joe a day could halve their chances of conceiving a child. We know that too much caffeine isn't super duper healthy for us, but can our beloved coffee and tea really be that harmful to our health? And are we unwittingly drinking far more than is healthy without even realising? In the past women have been warned not to overdo caffeine in pregnancy and there are studies suggesting it can raise the risk of miscarriage - so most women trying to conceive cut down anyway. But this seems to be the first time men have been warned that their caffeine consumption could affect parenthood. The research at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston showed that men who drank 265gm of caffeine a day had the least chance of becoming fathers. Experts suggest this could be because caffeine may harm sperm at a molecular level. And though men who aren't trying to conceive might not think that they have anything to worry about, it definitely raises questions about what else caffeine might be doing to our health that we have no idea about. Last year the editor in chief of the Journal of Caffeine Research Dr Jack James suggested caffeine-containing products need health warnings similar to those found on cigarette packets. Dr James, who is head of the department of psychology at Reykjavik University, Iceland, has claimed that we're all consuming way more caffeine than we think we are. Should we give up caffeine altogether? Should we be ditching our coffee habits ASAP and do we need to be checking all the foods, drinks, medicines and even cosmetics we use to make sure we're not over-doing it? It's suggested adults only consume 400mg of caffeine a day (two cups of instant coffee or four of tea). To put this into perspective, one large Starbucks coffee contains 360mg. So savour your morning cup as you shouldn't be drinking any more that day. Though some studies have linked moderate caffeine consumption to better kidney function and a reduction in gallstones, and even heart benefits, experts remain cautious. Migraine expert Dr Nicholas Silver, consultant neurologist at The Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery, told Yahoo! Lifestyle that he believed we could get rid of 80 per cent of chronic illnesses, sleep problems, migraines and headaches if we simply stopped consuming caffeine Link: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/two-cups-of-coffee-a-day-could-seriously-affect-male-fertility-thanks-to-caffeine-levels-130541083.html

Personally, I feel that some netizens, in their support for the opposition, are actually doing more harm to the opposition cause. The opposition politicians generally try to portray a better front and it is sometimes destroyed by their supporters, or to be fair, people who claim to be their supporters. An example is Chee Soon Juan. Personally, I dun like him because of what he did to Chiam See Tong but I would vote for him and his party in any elections against the PAP as I believe in the opposition cause. From what I have read about him so far, in tremeritus (not MSM), he seems to have mellowed down and changed for the better. Yet, his supporters do more harm to his name and the opposition cause by praising him (not wrong) AND denigrating workers party as well, to the extent that voting for workers party is akin to voting for PAP. This harms Dr Chee's image and also pull the fence sitters away from workers party. This only benefits PAP. If you look carefully, NONE of the other opposition polticians do anything to hurt the opposition cause from their words but the comments from their supporters causes damage. Netizens (some) also have a tendency not to look objectively at situations and turn anything into bashing PAP which will do nothing to convert the fence sitters. Moles exist. Some "supporters" are moles actually who try to destroy the opposition. Politics is dirty. I hope no true supporter inadvertently causes more harm.

Is there any down side to checking yourself into IMH for a few times? For reasons like depression, mental blocks, having illusions etc... So that in case when you get into trouble with the law in future, you will always have this IMH case to possible reduce your sentence. I guess this will not apply to civil servants. But how about the rest?

Hi guys, I'm thinking of blocking up my egr valve as the amt of carbon in my intake is quite scary. B4 I do so anyone knows the effects? Thanks in advance guys Cheers

Hi guys, I have quite a busy schedule lately, I was wondering on this: If I have no time to do shampoo wash etc, is it okay to just use normal water with MF cloth to do light washing and using chamois to dry it? Will it do any harm if lets say I do it once weekly or twice weekly? Also, should I use the cloth in a circular wipe motion when washing or go from side to side as in a straight line? Other items such as MF cloth which could be more suitable? I read about mitt or something.
