    Is it true that … double-dipping food is unhygienic? - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Double-dipping means eating part of a piece of food and then putting it back into a communal dip – for example, biting a carrot and dipping it into shared hummus, or redipping a half-eaten tortilla chip in salsa. The concern is that bacteria from your mouth get transferred into the dip and could cause illness in the people you’re sharing it with. “You do transmit bacteria from the food you have eaten back into the source,” says Prof John Tregoning, the author of Live Forever? A Curious Scientist

    Is it true that … having a hot drink will cool you down? - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Could a warm cup of tea really be the key to cooling down in hot weather? Or is that just something caffeine fiends tell themselves when they’re still working through a pot of coffee as the temperature hits 30C? Prof John Tregoning, the author of Live Forever?

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Inflammation is the immune system’s response to injury or infection. If you cut yourself and the area becomes red and swollen, that’s inflammation: immune cells are rushing to fight germs and repair tissue.

    ‘It looked stunning on Joanna Lumley!’ 10 writers on their biggest hair disaster - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s the late 1990s. Big, round, feathered fringes are a huge deal at my primary school. Most of my friends have one, influenced by Britney Spears or Emma Bunton. I, too, have a fringe. Mine, as you can see, appears more inspired by Kevin Keegan circa 1993. Of course, calling what I’m sporting here “a fringe” is an incredible understatement. If you squint it could be a trendy east London mullet. Otherwise, I look a bit like a Knight Templar. Or someone wearing a hat made out of their own hair, o

    Is it true that … it’s harder for women to do pull-ups? - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Pull-ups are a bodyweight exercise where you hang from an overhead bar, usually with an overhand grip, and pull yourself up until your chin clears the bar. “They’re a great upper-body exercise,” says Prof Leigh Breen, a specialist in muscle physiology at the University of Leicester. “They primarily work the muscles in the back, but also recruit the arms and the core.” They’re known for being tough – particularly for women. But is that true? “If we take the population as a whole, doing a pull-up
