Beware! Computer Keyboards Are Dirtier Than Toilets

Did you know computer keyboards are way filthier than toilets?

Keyboards are dirtier than toiletsThe British consumer-advocacy group, Which? Computing had a microbiologist test the bacteria levels on the 30-plus computer keyboards in its office and then compare the results with those found on a toilet seat and a toilet door handle.

The tests found that one keyboard had to be removed from the office as it had 150 times the pass-limit of bacteria and was five times filthier than the toilet seat.

Which? urges computer users to find time to clean their keyboards — unplug the keyboards from the computers, turn keyboards upside down and shake them so crumbs and whatever else has accumulated there to be removed. Then, they should use alcohol wipes to get rid of the germs.

Alternatively, you can always invest in a Computer Keyboard Vacuum.

Supermarket Employee Dies of Heart Attack After Drinking Too Many Cans of Red Bull

Supermarket shelf-stacker Alfredo Duran, 40, suffered a fatal heart attack which may have been caused by drinking too many cans of the energy drink Red Bull. He is thought to have consumed as many as four cans of the caffeinated drink each night.

He died from a cardiac arrest after collapsing at the Asda store, his workplace.

Each 250ml can of Red Bull is said to contain 80mg of caffeine — the same amount as a cup of filter coffee — and sales of the drink have been banned in some countries.

A postmortem examination showed that Mr Duran had an enlarged heart, a disorder which impairs its ability to pump blood around the body.

Studies have suggested those with high blood pressure or heart disease should avoid the drink.

Red Bull is Britain’s best-selling “energy drink”, with 213 million cans consumed each year. Last year, 3.5 billion cans and bottles of Red Bull were sold in 140 countries. It is often mixed with vodka.

Well, everything has a limit, as I always say, taking everything moderately is the best practice. Do you agree?

Demi Moore’s Beauty Secret Is Blood-Sucking Leeches

Demi Moore has revealed her secret to her beauty and youth and no, it is not Ashton Kucher but blood sucking leeches. She shared the news during an appearance Monday on “The Late Show With David Letterman.”

Demi Moore for ELLE“I’ve always been somebody looking for the cutting edge of things that are for optimizing your health and healing, so just a week ago I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy,” she told Letterman.

“These aren’t just swamp leeches, these are highly trained medical leeches,” she laughed. “These are not just some low level scavengers; we’re talking high level blood suckers.”

Moore also revealed that leeches prefer bare skin. “Leeches don’t like hair, they much prefer a Brazilian.”

What’s the benefits?

“It detoxifies your blood,” she told Letterman. “And they have a little enzyme that when they’re biting down on you, gets released into your blood and generally you bleed for quite a bit. And your health is optimized. It detoxified the blood and I’m feeling detoxified right now.”

What’s your say? Do you generally think leeches contribute to Moore’s youth rather than botox and Asthon Kucher?
