Salt, pepper, and caffeine. What do these three things have in common? They can all be sprinkled on food. Okay the last one is fairly new to the sprinkling world, but don’t judge it. That’s my job! So let’s see whether or not we should welcome CaffeinAll to the insanely long list of instant energy products. I can feel the caffeine-induced enthusiasm already!
An industrial design student received her PhD cum laude last month for
her design of a Smart Jacket for premature babies. Her creation will, no doubt, launch a successful career for a new graduate, but change the
lives of millions of premature infants and their families…
While today’s boomers may best remember the words to Beatles or Rolling
Stones songs, groups of older folks with Alzheimer’s disease improved
mental skills after sing-alongs of ’40s and ’50s movie and show tunes!
The further along a mom gets in her pregancy, the more she longs to just
sit down and take a load off her feet. But not too much, indicates the
latest research from the University of Montreal; she should be mindful of the power of exercise to give her newborn a head start.
Statins have been given a bad rap in the past, mostly due to possible,
but rare, serious side effects like muscle inflammation, diabetes, and
liver disease. But lately, research is unvieling some very positive and

Ever had a personal trainer? Their constant nagging, their crazy routines, and more importantly, their insanely insane prices. Well, whilst HapiLabs’ sole aim is not to put personal trainers out of business and force them to go home and tell their wives/husbands why this year’s christmas tree won’t be as big as the year before, the HapiTrack device certainly gives more power to the world’s trainer-less population.
It has been difficult for researchers to develop medical nanocomposites
that are capable of performing more that one task at a time; thus some
are used for detection, as in detecting cancer cells, and others deliver
cancer-fighting drugs. But recently, an international team of
university researchers were successful in creating one nanostructure
capable of performing three very important cancer-fighting tasks….
Rats who are compulsive gamblers have reason to celebrate today as
researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) announced the
first successful drug to inhibit this compulsive behavior in its test group. The test of 32
laboratory rats over a 16-month period involved the development and
deployment of the only slot machine-style rat casino in North America, a
casino built by the UBC Laboratory of Molecular and Behavioral
Neuroscience.
Turns out, a night at the pub with some friends might not be so idle a pastime as one might think. Quite the contrary: According to Oxford University Professor Robin Dunbar, it’s absolutely integral to men’s health, and they should definitely make an effort to go more often.
Steve Horvath, a professor of human genetics and biostatistics at
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), has invented a new
biological clock that accurately keeps time of nearly all tissues in the
human body and how fast they age. His clock helps us understand not only how we age, but how our biological clocks can be turned back.
