| Living against the clock; Does loss of daily rhythms cause obesity? Posted: 29 Aug 2012 04:51 PM PDT When Thomas Edison tested the first light bulb in 1879, he could never have imagined that his invention could one day contribute to a global obesity epidemic. Electric light allows us to work, rest and play at all hours of the day, and a new article suggests that this might have serious consequences for our health and for our waistlines.  |
| Chocolate: A sweet method for stroke prevention in men? Posted: 29 Aug 2012 02:19 PM PDT Eating a moderate amount of chocolate each week may be associated with a lower risk of stroke in men, according to a new study.  |
| Flu is transmitted before symptoms appear, study in ferrets suggests Posted: 29 Aug 2012 02:18 PM PDT New research examining influenza transmission in ferrets suggests that the virus can be passed on before the appearance of symptoms. If the finding applies to humans, it means that people pass on flu to others before they know they're infected, making it very difficult to contain epidemics.  |
| Many trendy 'microgreens' are more nutritious than their mature counterparts Posted: 29 Aug 2012 10:16 AM PDT The first scientific analysis of nutrient levels in edible microgreens has found that many of those trendy seedlings of green vegetables and herbs have more vitamins and healthful nutrients than their fully grown counterparts.  |
| Twitter data crunching: The new crystal ball Posted: 29 Aug 2012 07:35 AM PDT Scientists have demonstrated that the elimination of contestants in TV talent shows based on public voting, such as American Idol, can be anticipated. They unveiled the predictive power of microblogging Twitter signals -- used as a proxy for the general preference of an audience -- in a recent study.  |
| Internet addiction: Causes at the molecular level Posted: 29 Aug 2012 07:34 AM PDT Internet addiction is not a figment of our imagination, researchers in Germany say. Over the past years, the researchers have interviewed a total of 843 people about their Internet habits. An analysis of the questionnaires shows that 132 men and women in this group exhibit problematic behavior in how they handle the online medium; all their thoughts revolve around the Internet during the day, and they feel their wellbeing is severely impacted if they have to go without it.  |
| What's behind rising food prices, beyond the U.S. drought Posted: 29 Aug 2012 07:34 AM PDT Although many U.S. consumers were alarmed to see news reports this summer of droughts leaving shriveled crops dying in the fields, a professor of food marketing warns other factors will have a greater effect on Americans' wallets.  |
| Earphones potentially as dangerous as noise from jet engines, researchers find Posted: 29 Aug 2012 03:47 AM PDT Turning the volume up too high on your headphones can damage the coating of nerve cells, leading to temporary deafness, scientists have shown. Earphones or headphones on personal music players can reach noise levels similar to those of jet engines, the researchers said.  |
