It seems that often the things we love the most are the things we are warned to indulge in sparingly.

Coffee and chocolate lovers however can now rest a little easier with the knowledge that their favourite habits are probably not as bad for you as others would have you believe.

The people at AsaspSCIENCE are back with a video that is debunking some interesting foodie myths. As it turns out, your chocolate habit would need to turn into an extreme snacking situation before you ran the risk of accidental death.

But did you know that cherries are a completely different story?

Just one wrong bite can deliver a lethal dose of cyanide, which is to be found in the pit of the cherry. Something to be aware of next time you get a craving.

The video also reminded us something we probably all already knew at this point, but appreciate being confirmed: sleep is really really important. Currently a man holds the record for being able to go without sleep for just over 11 days. While no very serious long-term effects were documented, it is definitely not recommended.

So, we are free to drink our coffee and eat our chocolate in peace. However, being tall and eating cherries are suddenly not looking so appealing.
