In the futures, may be you will consider not to throws your waste coffee grounds after drink since some research was found about the benefit of coffee ground for your car fuel. According to the information that I got from the website of Consumer Energy Report, there is a scientists at the University of Nevada , Reno which do some research about the possibilities of extracting oil from used coffee grounds. Yes, coffee ground can be cheap and environmentally friendly bio fuel in the futures.
For those study above, the team collected left over grounds coffee of espressos, cappuccinosand other coffee preparations from the Starbucks coffee chain. The study was first reported toward the end of last year in The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. The resulting coffee-based fuel –which smells like java– is more stable than traditional bio diesel due to coffee’s high antioxidant content, according to the researchers.
Other information that I got from the website of Science Daily, coffee growers in the world is able to produce more than 16 billion pounds of coffee each year. The used or "spent" grounds remaining from production of espresso, cappuccino, and plain old-fashioned cups of java, often wind up in the trash or find use as soil conditioner.
The scientists estimated, however, that spent coffee grounds can potentially add 340 million gallons of bio diesel to the world's fuel supply. The scientists estimate if the process of coffee groundfor fuel could make a profit of more than $8 million a year in the U.S. alone. They plan to develop a small pilot plant to produce and test the experimental fuel within the next six to eight months.
Is it Time to Re-write the Textbooks on Insulin and Obesity? Part II
A new paper published on December 6th in the journal Science once again tackles the question of whether elevated insulin drives the development of obesity (1). Mice were generated that lack Jun kinases 1 and 2 specifically in immune cells, impairing their ability to produce inflammation while having very few off-target effects. These mice do not become insulin resistant when placed on a fattening diet, and their insulin levels do not increase one iota. Are they protected from obesity? People who read the last post should know the answer already.

Leave the Whites to Linens
When it comes to diet, opt for colorful foods that pack a nutritious punch. You don’t have to cut out carbs completely, just opt for the healthy kind. Dr. Sizemore-Ruiz suggests “avoiding white rice, white bread, and white pasta like it’s the plague” and replacing all ‘white’ foods with their whole-wheat counterpart.“White foods offer almost no nutritional value, and replacing these carbs with whole grains adds vitamins and minerals to your diet."
Ditch the Soda
Soda is not only a diet-spoiler (hello, liquid calories!), it can also have an adverse effect on your health!“I advise patients to never drink regular soda. I'd prefer you not to drink the diet soda either, but if you must have the taste of soda, drink the diet kind. The amount of calories and high fructose corn syrup in regular soda is insane. The best advice is to replace that daily soda fix with some green tea instead.”
