Peihua Jiang who is another researcher from Monell added, “We are a bit surprised. However, given the anecdotal evidence that they like apple, sweet potato and so on in captivity, we are not completely surprised,”


Experiments were undergone by the 
researchers to test this theory out. The
pandas were given two 
bowls of liquid. One of it was filled with plain water and the other was filled with mixed sugar solutions. The experiment showed that the pandas emptied the bowls that were filled with mixed solutions.

#20 Failure drives to aggressive video gamers

Researchers have found that when a person is facing failure, they turn to video games. People who are under distress of failure will turn aggressive and have no control over what they are doing. 

"Any player who has thrown down a remote control after losing an electronic game can relate to the intense feelings or anger failure can cause," said lead author Andrew Przybylski

An experiment was conducted to conclude whether or not people get aggressive by just playing video games. Participants are suppose to dip their hands into a bowl of cold water and later play simple and challenging levels of a Tetris game. They were given a time of 10 seconds to complete the challenging level and through this experiment, researchers have found out when the participants could not complete it within the time limit, they were frustrated of the fact they could not do it. This led the participants to throw a tantrum and become aggressive.

Everyone always wants to live the life of an athlete. I mean, who doesn't? Living healthy is always the dream. The thing about athletes is they always dream big, and when they dream big, it's H.U.G.E. They always set goals and strive to achieve them. 

Other than that, athletes practice small.
Author of The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance. "You're chipping away at something over time with small goals instead of solely thinking about the big win at the end." Usually each victory depends on how momentum. You just got to keep working on it slowly.

Not everyone gets the same effect out of consuming caffeine. Every individual is different. 

New York magazine previously reported: "Women generally metabolize caffeine faster than men. Smokers process it twice as quickly as nonsmokers do. Women taking birth control pills metabolize it at perhaps one-third the rate that women not on the Pill do. Asians may do so more slowly than people of other races."


Caffeine has it's side effects too. For instance, if someone consumes excess amounts of caffeine, it can trigger a persons heart rate to be faster, anxiety and insomnia. Stopping immediately from drinking caffeine may cause irritability and mild headaches.

#16 Foods that sound healthy but isn't.

Have you ever been to the supermarkets and pick out a carton of fresh full cream milk ? But thought otherwise that you should get the low-fat milk instead. Well almost everybody has thought that but little do they know, you should just really pick the fresh milk instead of the low-fat. They aren't any least different from each other.

These are some foods that sound healthy but aren't.

1. Frozen Yogurt a.k.a 'Froyo'
The love of frozen yogurt is now spreading because it's the best substitute for ice-cream. But do you know that Froyo is actually almost the same. With all of the m&m's and cookies as toppings, it will sure do us harm if we eat regularly.

2. Prego Pasta Sauce 
We all need sauces on our pasta and Prego Pasta Sauce is the first we'll pick up in our local supermarket. Even if the pasta sauce comes with small servings of chopped vegetables and crushed tomato sauce which can protect us from heart diseases, but it really is not so good for our health. Pasta Sauce contains so much sugar, high fructose corn syrup, sodium and fillers. To make pasta sauce last longer, they also contain ascorbic acid. Imagine glazing all of that on your pasta! 

3. Diet Soft Drinks 
Even if they claim to have said that diet soft drinks are calorie-free but do you really believe that people do lose weight by adding diet soft drinks to their menus? Diet Soft Drinks contain a different type of sugar which makes consumers wanting to have more of it. It causes addiction and diet soft drinks can cause toothache because of the sweetener.
