There are plenty of us who consume caffeine daily, but do you really know what it can do to your health? Yes, we all know that caffeine brings a lot of benefits to one self like concentration, boosting memory and also promotes a good mental health. 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.

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.

#15 Malaysians earning money as translators
Malaysians who can speak fluent English are being hired as online translators. It’s very simple to make money as an online translator. Big companies in the US are in desperate need of
translators, especially from
Malaysia to translate some simple documents to English. A Malaysian student has
done it and is earning between $180 and $300 USD per day. This job takes him at
least a minimum of 2 hours of his day to complete. He earns almost a sum of
$10,000 USD every month. This is a perfect job for almost any Malaysian because
they are qualified. It’s also a very simple job because you’re doing this from
home.

#13 Identical Everything
Perth,
Australia; 28-year old twin sisters, Anna and Lucy DeCinque have spent around $240,000 to look exactly
alike as each other. The two sisters have already had breast implants, lip
enhancements and tattooed eyebrows. They both also have the same outfits, diets
and exercise routines. These horrifying identical sisters not only look the
same but their daily life is similar! They both share one boyfriend and sleep
together all at the same time. Lucy claim to have said “We
have one boyfriend and all of us share the same bed … We have the same taste in
everything, so obviously we’re going to like the same boy, too.” They have
never repeated an outfit before and have worn everything the same time only
once. These two twins are on the extremes of insanity.

#12 Nude Heels are IN !
Nude heels are a girl’s best friend. Every single girl should own
a pair because they fit best with anything on your outfit. A pair of nude heels
can never go wrong in a girl’s life. It doesn’t matter where you buy it, whether
it’s from the nearest thrift shop down the road to the high end streets where
you find Jimmy Choo. All you need are these confidence boosters so that you can
wear them any time and at any place. Nude heels can add to a slimmer silhouette
and create an illusion of longer and lengthier legs. Trust me, nothing can go
wrong with nude heels.

#11 Being hipster
Back
in the days, being hipster was not so very popular because hipsters are mainly
nerds. They usually are tall and skinny people. Glasses are a compulsory when
being a hipster. Sometimes they are gym junkies. But now, hipsters are very
popular and teenagers today are mimicking them just because they think they are
cool. There are plenty of ways to find out whether you are hipster
or not. Looking at how a teen sees it, here’s how;
1. You own a pair of glasses
2. You own a fixie bike
3. You have no facial hair
at all.
4. You roll your trousers up
5. You look homeless
