New Calif. bill would force restaurants to offer only water or milk as drink options on kids menus
Newly passed legislation in California would prohibit restaurants from offering any drinks other than water or milk on kids menus. Now it’s headed to Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk for his signature.
What are the details?
Senate Bill 1192 dictates that menus at privately owned businesses can list only water or milk as default drink options to accompany kids meals. The purported aim is to curb obesity and diabetes in children by discouraging the consumption of sugar-laden beverages.

Woman sues over too-spicy, ‘unfit for human consumption’ dish
The lawsuit noted that Walia was aware the dish was spicy, but proceeded to order it even though she “does not tolerate spice,” asking the server to have a more mild version prepared for her.
“Harjasleen Walia was poisoned, made ill and burned necessitating medical care,” the scathing claim asserts.
“She incurred permanent injuries and will forever be damaged to her body. These consequences are the direct result of defendants serving to her foods unfit for human consumption.”

"Diabetes is when your body cannot provide enough insulin to allow glucose (sugar) into the hungry cells of your body," explains Thomas Horowitz, DO, a family medicine specialist at CHA Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles. "The best way to avoid it is to be on a diet that does not task your insulin supply."

Why Does Coffee Make You Poop?
Starting the day with a cup of coffee may be as much a part of your morning ritual as checking your phone for new texts. The jolt of java delivers an eye-opening boost of caffeine. The warm beverage can lull you slowly from your slumber. Plus, coffee is rich in antioxidants and beneficial chemicals.
But for roughly a third of coffee drinkers, that morning cuppa jump-starts more than just their day — it revs up their stomach, too. For these people, going to the bathroom straight after they've finished their first cup is also part of their routine (and for some, purposefully so). Others may even choose to drink coffee for this very reason.
So why does coffee make you need to poop? And is that good or bad?

Drinking Alcohol Daily Can Increase Your Chances Of Living To 90, Study Finds
It’s the weekend, which can mean only one thing: everybody’s getting ready for a night on the town. Well, everyone but me, it seems, who’s slaving away writing this for you lot.
Regardless, I think we can all agree a nice glass of wine would go down an absolute treat right now. Which, as it turns out, could actually be a very wise and sensible thing to do.
Yes, I know previously we’ve been told to limit our intake of alcohol as much as possible, but a new study has found drinking alcohol every day can vastly increase your chances of reaching 90 years old.

Now Fruit Juice Is Linked to a Higher Cancer Risk
Drinking soda doesn’t just threaten to make us fat, it could be linked to a higher risk of cancer, judging from a new study. But here’s the more surprising part: so could fruit juices.
Increased daily consumption of about 3.4 ounces of soda -- roughly a third of a can of Coke -- was associated with an 18% greater risk of some cancers in a study published in the British Medical Journal. The likelihood of breast tumors alone rose even more, by 22%. When people drank the same amount of unsweetened fruit juice, they were also more likely to develop cancer, the researchers found.
The research, part of a broader effort carried out in France to investigate links between nutrition and health, is one of the first to find a connection between sweet drinks and cancer. The findings may also taint the image of fruit juices, which are often perceived -- and promoted -- as healthy.

This machine can make gallons of fresh drinking water right out of thin air
Machines designed by a California-based team can produce, in some cases, up to 300 gallons of fresh drinking water a day by pulling it straight from the air. And the team just won a $1.5 million prize for it.
The machines, dubbed Skywater, were created by the Skysource/Skywater Alliance, a team of sustainability experts from Venice, California. Skywater machines, housed in big metal boxes, are atmospheric water generators that condense water vapor from the atmosphere and turn it into drinking water. The machines can be powered by solar energy or the burning of biofuels. Depending on the model, they can be used for households, for farming or for emergency relief efforts.

BAKING SODA MIGHT STAVE OFF INFLAMMATION CAUSED BY AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES, RESEARCH FINDS
Though baking soda is often solely thought of as an important ingredient for making the perfect banana loaf, it has recently become a buzzy wellness and beauty ingredient akin to the multitasking turmeric. And now new research has found another reason to worship the powerful powder: When mixed into your drinking water, it might combat inflammation, thereby making it a potentially effective treatment for people who suffer from an autoimmune disease.

Here’s What The Ingredients In Energy Drinks Actually Do To Your Body
You’ll be surprised how few of them actually supply energy.
The energy drink industry pulls in roughly 9 billion dollars annually, so it’s obvious that many of us turn to these sugary drinks when we need a jolt of energy. But what exactly is in those shiny cans that gives us wings?
We’re here to explain.
There are a few common ingredients found in the most popular energy drinks, and we’re going to break down for you what they are and how ? or if ? they work to boost your energy.
Caffeine
We all know what caffeine is. It’s the reason we’re so obsessed with coffee, and it’s the sole reason many of us get out of bed. It also happens to be the main source of energy in many energy drinks.

Yes, coffee drinkers seem to live longer. But don't get too excited.
The question isn’t if, it’s how much.
Coffee seems like one of those things that scientists can’t make up their minds about. Like chocolate, or whether koalas are cute or terrifying. To be fair, the way reporters cover coffee studies does make it feel like every coffee researcher out there changes their mind every few years. But the medical community has held pretty much the same position for years now: coffee is, if anything, good for you.
The question isn’t whether your caffeine habit is beneficial, the question is how much it actually helps you. And if we’re going by this latest study, published on Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the answer is... not a ton. Yes, it does cut your risk of getting liver cancer. Yes, it seems to protect against various digestive diseases. Maybe it helps you fight cardiovascular disease or even cancer, though those connections are less clear. But the margins of improvement here are fairly tiny. And oh yeah, we’re talking about correlations here. Yes, people who drink coffee tend to live ever-so-slightly longer—but we don’t really know that it’s the coffee that does it. Coffee drinkers could have plenty of other things in common that contribute to health and longevity.

A drink a day tied to higher breast cancer risk, report says
(CNN)Researchers have long known that having one too many cocktails might be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.
Now, a new report from the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research reveals just how much of a risk daily drinking might pose for both premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
Sipping an average of 10 grams of alcohol a day -- equivalent to a small glass of wine, an 8-ounce beer or 1 ounce of hard liquor -- is associated with a 5% increased breast cancer risk in premenopausal women and 9% increase in postmenopausal women, said Dr. Anne McTiernan, a lead author of the new report and a cancer prevention researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

Is Seltzer Bad For You?
The Question: It is healthy to drink carbonated drinks like seltzer regularly?
The Answer: Be strategic with your La Croix obsession.
Manufacturers add pressurized carbon dioxide to produce effervescence in a drink, which is essentially the process that makes those beloved seltzers bubbly and fizzy. This act of carbonation instantly makes the drink acidic ? and that acid can cause the tooth’s enamel to erode over time, according to Mark Wolff, professor and chair of the Department of Cariology and Comprehensive Care at New York University’s College of Dentistry.
Any and all acid in a drink can do this, whether it comes from seltzer, flavored sparkling water, diet or regular soda. Fruit juices, wine and coffee are all acidic, too, Wolff said.
