...hold your breath, but you may someday be able to take a smell test for Alzheimer's. Patients with mild memory problems were asked to scratch and sniff odor-infused patches and then identify the scent. During a two-year follow-up, none of those who could accurately distinguish peanut from pizza, for example, went on to develop Alzheimer's. But nearly half who scored poorly--and, interestingly, didn't realize they had an impaired sense of smell--did develop the disease. Apparently the olfactory pathway, and probably the area in the brain responsible for awareness of the ability...

Should you tire of this lunchbox classic, StarKist's new vacuum-packed tuna pouches mean you don't have to expend any effort draining juice from a can. To eat it, though, you'll still need a utensil. Not so with IncrEdibles' microwavable macaroni and cheese on a stick or its push-pop scrambled eggs. You'll appreciate the strength you save...
