...carbohydrates seem to have been created equal. So-called simple carbohydrates, those found in white bread and cake, are so quickly digested by the body that they trigger a very rapid rise in the levels of glucose in the blood. The pancreas releases a massive amount of insulin to mop up the excess. Soon enough, however, blood glucose levels plummet to the point where our brains may feel woozy, we become excessively hungry and are driven to eat again. Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, particularly those rich in fiber, do not elicit the same kind of spike-and-crash...
...annoying, expensive, and poor quality. But here's one bit of good news: They may not foster tumor growth. In a study of 1,600 mice conducted at the Adelaide-based Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science in Australia, researchers concluded that radio waves from cell phones do not trigger tumor growth...
...would be nice if, when the next alert goes out, rousing the public's justifiable outrage and the media's sometimes questionable interest, it might trigger a wider, silent alarm as well--for the kids who can't disappear because they are already lost...
...leaves you tan and sexually excited, and it works for both men and women. No, it's not a tropical vacation; it's the Barbie drug, as some have dubbed Melanotan II. Researchers looking for a sunless way to trigger tanning came across the compound in 1991. Men who took the drug got tan and reported side effects in their shorts. Later tests on lab rats showed that, unlike Viagra, this miracle pill was not just for males: female lab rats that took it showed more courting behavior. The reason: Melanotan works on the brain center that handles sexual arousal...
...Institute in Leipzig, Germany, and the University of Oxford in England determined that FOXP2 hardly changed during the evolution of mammals. But their analysis, reported last week in Nature, indicated a subtle genetic shift in the human family tree within the past 200,000 years. "The gene seems to trigger the development of the ability to move the mouth, lips and tongue as well as certain neural processes," says Wolfgang Enard, one of the study's German authors...
