Washington D.C. [USA], Jan 4 (ANI): A recent research suggests that beverages like tea and coffee consumed for driving away drowsiness might also help people in losing weight.
This study conducted by the University of Illinois gives all the caffeine lovers a reason to rejoice and have a few extra servings of tea or coffee because, according to its findings, consumption of caffeine can potentially control weight gain and cholesterol levels by blunting the effects of a diet that's high in sugars and fats.
Fox News reported that the study was carried out on rats who were fed a relatively unhealthy diet for four weeks in a row, which consisted of 40-45 per cent carbohydrates and just 15 per cent protein.
In conjugation to this, the rats were administered a tea containing phytochemicals, flavonoids, and amino acids. Caffeine dosages ranged from 65 to 135 milligrams per serving. The rats were also fed additional sources of caffeine.
The final result of this experiment showed that the rats that were administered caffeine dropped a significant amount of body fat. The fat absorption went down by 22 per cent and weight gain slowed down by 16 per cent.
"The consumption of caffeine from (tea) or from other sources alleviated the negative impact of a high-fat, high-sucrose diet on body composition due to the modulation of certain lipogenic enzymes in both adipose tissue and the liver," said Elvira Gonzalez de Mejia, who co-authored this study.
These findings can be scaled according to the human model to further explore the efficacy of caffeine-containing beverages, like coffee and tea, in aiding weight loss and cholesterol control. (ANI)

'Creation of black holes without singularities through gravity'

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how singularities are resolved in the context of quantum gravity is one of the fundamental problems in theoretical physics. Now, a team of experts has described the creation of regular black holes from gravitational effects without the need for the existence of exotic matter required by some previous models.
