| Wines' fruity flavors fade first, science finds Posted: 05 May 2014 11:20 AM PDT Testing conventional wisdom with science, recently published research reveals how different flavors 'finish,' or linger, on the palate following a sip of wine. The study is one of the first to look at how different flavor components finish when standing alone or interacting with other compounds in white wines. |
| The rich best-educated revealed as 'super-working class' Posted: 05 May 2014 11:07 AM PDT Rich, well-educated men and women are working much longer hours than those on low incomes, according to a new working paper. Compared to the 1970s when working hours were at their lowest, the best-educated men in continental Europe, for example, increased their overall work time from just over 8 hours 20 minutes per day (around 5 hours 50 minutes' paid work and 2 hours 30 minutes' unpaid housework, shopping and childcare) to 9 hours 10 minutes per day (6 hours 10 minutes' paid, 3 hours unpaid) – an increase of 20 minutes' paid work, together with 30 minutes more unpaid work. |
| When wine hits the right nerve: Mechanism for appreciation of the barrique character decoded Posted: 05 May 2014 08:23 AM PDT If wine leaves a bitter, cotton-like coating on the tongue, neither the sense of taste nor the sense of smell is responsible. The traditional oak barrel character, also called barrique character, is perceived via the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for, among other things, pain and temperature perception, researchers report. |
| New cause of high blood pressure, heart disease discovered: Phosphate-rich foods Posted: 05 May 2014 07:42 AM PDT Phosphate-rich foods include processed cheese, Parmesan, cola, baking powder and most processed foods. Phosphates are widely used in the food industry as preservatives and pH stabilizers. When large quantities of phosphates are consumed, production of the FGF23 hormone is stimulated, which has a negative effect on the cardiovascular system. One expert warns that "our phosphate consumption is relevant for our state of health." |
| Few children receive dental care before recommended age of 1 year Posted: 05 May 2014 06:42 AM PDT Fewer than one per cent of healthy urban children surveyed in Toronto had received dental care by the recommended age of 12 months and fewer than two per cent had seen a dentist by the age of 24 months. Children most susceptible to cavities were least likely to receive early dental care, according to the a new study. |
| Disease outbreak may not spur parents to have children vaccinated Posted: 05 May 2014 06:42 AM PDT Conventional wisdom holds that when the risk of catching a disease is high, people are more likely to get vaccinated to protect themselves. This may not be the case, however, according to a new study. |
| What frog courtship can tell us about human small talk Posted: 05 May 2014 06:37 AM PDT If you've ever heard the boisterous courtship sounds being made at night by male frogs gathered around a pond or "watering hole" to attract mates, you may have noticed some communication similarities to those of humans enjoying a loud night out at a cocktail party or bar—that familiar cacophony with everyone essentially shouting over each other to be heard. |
| Posted: 05 May 2014 06:20 AM PDT If you are a parent, chances are you have used or will use a baby gate at some point. Baby gates are designed to help protect young children from stairs and other dangers around the home. If you use these in your home, take note. A new study has found gates can lead to injury if used incorrectly. |
| Posted: 04 May 2014 06:55 AM PDT Many young parents are using electronic cigarettes, and despite any evidence for safety, the vast majority of young adults who have used the devices believe they are less harmful than regular cigarettes, according to new research. |
| Posted: 01 May 2014 04:28 PM PDT Babies who have skull deformation because they lie in the same position most of the time do not benefit from wearing a corrective helmet, finds research. There was no meaningful difference in skull shape at the age of two years between children treated with therapy helmet and those who received no active treatment. Both groups showed similar improvements although only a quarter made a full recovery to a normal head shape, according to the team of researchers. |
| Don't wait until it's too late: Learn how to spot skin cancer Posted: 01 May 2014 08:16 AM PDT It is estimated that one in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in the course of their lifetime, and one person dies from melanoma -- the deadliest form of skin cancer -- every hour. In recognition of Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month in May and Melanoma Monday, observed on May 5, the American Academy of Dermatology is encouraging the public to learn how to SPOT Skin Cancer. The campaign aims to save lives by emphasizing the importance of early detection. |
