Avocados may improve your sex life. A new study shows that while avocados in isolation won’t drastically impact your sex life, they do have some nutritional properties that may provide a sexual boost. Research from the Internal Journal of Reproductive BioMedicine shows that increased blood flow plays a big role in arousal as blood rushes to the sex organs.

BrewDog Beer Ad Pulled Over Five-A-Day Claim
An ad for the beer company BrewDog has been banned over a “tongue-in-cheek” claim that its fruit-flavored beers constitute “one of your five a day.” An advertising email featured the subject heading “One of your five a day,” and advertised beers with names that included Lost In Guava, Pineapple Punch, and Lost In Lychee & Lime. A recipient complained that the five-a-day claim was misleading.

BrewDog, which is based in Scotland, acknowledged that the advertised beers did not count towards a consumer’s five a day but said it believed recipients would generally understand that alcoholic beverages were not equivalent to portions of fruit or vegetables. The Advertising Standards Authority ruled that the ad must not appear again.
