| Eating fast increases diabetes risk Posted: 07 May 2012 06:00 PM PDT People who wolf down their food are two and a half times more likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes than those who take their time according to new research.  |
| Peak risk about 16 years old for teens misusing prescription drugs Posted: 07 May 2012 01:55 PM PDT The peak risk for misusing prescription pain relievers occurs in mid-adolescence, specifically about 16 years old and earlier than many experts thought, according to a new study. The results, based on recent nationwide surveys of nearly 120,000 US adolescents, suggest prevention programs may need to be introduced earlier, in childhood and early adolescence.  |
| Maternal perceptions of toddler body size often wrong Posted: 07 May 2012 01:42 PM PDT A study of mothers and their toddlers suggests that mothers of overweight toddlers often had inaccurate perceptions of their child's body size, according to a new report.  |
| BPA effects seen in monkey mammary glands Posted: 07 May 2012 12:41 PM PDT A new study finds that fetal exposure to the plastic additive bisphenol A, or BPA, alters mammary gland development in primates. The finding adds to the evidence that the chemical can be causing health problems in humans and bolsters concerns about it contributing to breast cancer.  |
| Sunscreen ingredient may increase skin cancer risk Posted: 07 May 2012 10:19 AM PDT As vacationers prepare to spend time outdoors this summer, many of them will pack plenty of sunscreen in hopes it will protect their bodies from overexposure, and possibly from skin cancer. But researchers are discovering that sunscreen may not be so safe after all.  |
| 'Losing yourself' in a fictional character can affect your real life Posted: 07 May 2012 10:19 AM PDT When you "lose yourself" inside the world of a fictional character while reading a story, you may actually end up changing your own behavior and thoughts to match that of the character, a new study suggests.  |
| Home computer data usage: Bandwidth caps create user uncertainty, risky decisions Posted: 07 May 2012 08:37 AM PDT A new study shows that capped broadband pricing triggers uneasy user experiences that could be mitigated by better tools to monitor data usage through their home networks.  |
| Happiness model could help people go from good to great Posted: 07 May 2012 08:37 AM PDT The sayings "variety is the spice of life" and "happiness isn't getting what you want, but wanting what you get" seem to have a psychological basis, according to a new study by a psychologist who identified two keys to becoming happier and staying that way.  |
| Re-gifting etiquette? The gifts we keep on giving Posted: 07 May 2012 08:37 AM PDT Birthdays, graduations, Christmas, baby showers, bridal showers, bar and bat mitzvahs, Mother's Day, Father's Day, wedding anniversaries, the occasional sorry- about-that gesture, hostess gifts and presents that don't even fall into a recognizable category. The year is filled with opportunities and obligations to give and receive. So who can blame someone for doing a little regifting? Not the person who actually gave the original gift, despite what a regifter may think.  |
| Picking the brains of strangers helps make sense of online information Posted: 07 May 2012 08:37 AM PDT People who have already sifted through online information to make sense of a subject can help strangers facing similar tasks without ever directly communicating with them, researchers have demonstrated.  |
| Posted: 07 May 2012 07:20 AM PDT Are you a social media enthusiast or simply a Facebook addict? Researchers have developed a new instrument to measure Facebook addiction, the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale.  |
