| Cigarette and alcohol use at historic low among teens Posted: 14 Dec 2011 09:59 AM PST Cigarette and alcohol use by eighth, 10th and 12th-graders are at their lowest point since the Monitoring the Future survey began polling teenagers in 1975, according to this year's survey results. However, this positive news is tempered by a slowing rate of decline in teen smoking as well as continued high rates of abuse of other tobacco products (e.g., hookahs, small cigars, smokeless tobacco), marijuana and prescription drugs. |
| Ability to love takes root in earliest infancy Posted: 14 Dec 2011 09:59 AM PST The ability to trust, love, and resolve conflict with loved ones starts in childhood -- way earlier than you may think. New research suggests that your relationship with your mother during the first 12 to 18 months of life predict your behavior in romantic relationships 20 years later. |
| Cotton fabric cleans itself when exposed to ordinary sunlight Posted: 14 Dec 2011 07:28 AM PST Imagine jeans, sweats or socks that clean and deodorize themselves when hung on a clothesline in the sun or draped on a balcony railing. Scientists are reporting development of a new cotton fabric that does clean itself of stains and bacteria when exposed to ordinary sunlight. |
| Posted: 14 Dec 2011 06:46 AM PST Scientists have analyzed fresh orange juice squeezed by machines in catering establishments. They have confirmed that 43% of samples exceeded the acceptable enterobacteriaceae levels laid down by legislation. The researchers recommend that oranges are handled correctly, that juicers are washed properly and that the orange juice is served immediately rather than being stored in metal jugs. |
| Caffeine study shows sport performance increase Posted: 14 Dec 2011 06:45 AM PST Caffeine combined with carbohydrate could be used to help athletes perform better on the field, according to new research. |
