In fact, according to Google’s Health Vice President David Feinberg, MD, as much as 7% of Google’s daily searches are health-related. We spend a lot of time online, and with such information being so quick and easy to access it’s unsurprising that Google is often our first resort.
Gold and white or black and blue? Who can ever forget the dress that sent the internet into a whirlwind?

From tea, chocolate, a can of Coke or energy drink, caffeine is in many of the food and drinks we consume, and with many health benefits such as lowering your risk of Type 2 Diabetes, protecting you from Alzheimer’s and Dementia and even helping burn fat, it is a great addition to our diet.
