Is coffee dangerous for Americans? These three US states asked not to drink caffeine
Americans have been advised to not drink coffee in three states- Nevada, California, and Arizona, reports Newsweek, citing forecasters who have warned of "dangerously hot conditions". The National Weather Service (NWS) has warned that heat-related illnesses increase significantly during extreme heat events. It is generally not recommended to drink coffee in hot weather due to its diuretic effect, which can lead to dehydration. Caffeine, found in coffee, can increase fluid loss through urination, making it harder for your body to stay hydrated, especially when you are already sweating more in the heat.

Death Valley National Park could see temperatures up to 120, according to the NWS. Live Events "Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles," read the extreme heat warning. The advisory also applied to a portion of northwest Arizona, southeast California, and southern Nevada. "Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes." People in affected areas have been advised not to consume alcohol or caffeine as they speed up dehydration, according to a post from the NWS' Las Vegas office. It also said heavy foods should be avoided, as meals high in protein can also speed up dehydration, the report said.

"Actions should be taken to lessen the impact of the extreme heat," it said. AccuWeather meteorologist Chad Merrill told Newsweek that the Lake Mead area would see high temperatures between 107-112 degrees Sunday and Monday. "Tuesday's high will be 105-108 degrees. Wednesday will reach 107-115 degrees. Thursday and Friday will reach 105-112 degrees," Merrill said. "Temperatures will then drop several degrees next weekend with a more notable cooling trend Sunday, June 22-Tuesday, June 24."

Extreme Heat Warning in effect for Sunday (Father's Day). This heat coupled with very dry conditions will increase fire danger. Be extra cautious if recreating with sparks or flame." The NWS said on X, Wednesday: "During hot and humid weather, your body's ability to cool itself is challenged in ways you may not expect. When your body heats too rapidly, or when too much fluid or salt is lost through dehydration or sweating, you may experience a heat-related illness. Stay weather-ready by learning the symptoms of extreme heat exposure and the appropriate responses."

Padres' Jackson Merrill placed on 7-day injured list
PHOENIX (AP) — The San Diego Padres have placed All-Star outfielder Jackson Merrill on the seven-day injured list on Sunday, a day after he suffered a concussion during Saturday night's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Merrill was injured in the seventh inning when he attempted a stolen base, but was tagged out by Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte. The tag came on Merrill's helmet as he slid head first and he was down for several minutes before walking off the field. He was replaced in the field by Brandon Lockridge. Merrill, 22, is batting .304 with five homers. He finished second in voting for the National League Rookie of the Year and ninth for NL MVP last year after hitting 24 homers, driving in 90 runs and posting a .292 batting average. Trenton Brooks was called up from Triple-A El Paso to replace Merrill on the Padres' roster. Brooks, 29, was batting .311 with 14 homers and 54 RBIs at El Paso.
