     ●What prevents depression; tea, coffee or hot chocolate?

    Women who drink for or more cups of coffee a day are a fifth less likely to become depressed.

Drinking two or three cups reduces the risk by 15 percent. This is the result of a study of 51,000 women

over ten years, published in the Journal of the American Medicine Association.

     One theory is that caffeine reduces the  effect of the chemical adenosine (腺苷) in the brain, which

can make us feel sleepy by slowing down nerve cell activity. Some anti-depressants also work by

blocking the adenosine receptors. Coffee was found to be far more influential on depression levels than

hot chocolate or tea due to the high caffeine content.

     ●How many eggs can we healthily eat: one a day or two a day?

     Neither-eat them freely. We've long been warned to stick to two or three eggs a week because of

their high cholesterol (胆固醇) content. But according to the Food Standards Agency, there is no

recommended limit to how many eggs we can healthily eat, unless you have been told to cut down by

your doctor.

     There is no evidence that eating eggs raises  cholesterol levels, and researchers found that eggs contain

less cholesterol than in the past because hens are no longer given bone meal, which was banned in the

1990s after the BSE (疯牛病) crisis.

     Research by the British Egg Council found that a medium egg gives you around 100 mg of cholesterol, a third of the 300mg recommended daily limit.
