Physically active boys are smarter, study hints

NEW YORK – Jocks get new respect in a large Swedish study that suggests physically active teen boys may be smarter than their couch-potato counterparts.

The findings, the investigators say, have important implications for the education of young people. Increasing, not decreasing, physical education in schools can not only slow the shift toward sedentary lifestyles but, by doing so, reduce risk of disease and "perhaps intellectual and academic und… Continue

Study Reveals the Angriest Americans


Anger is more likely among the young, those with children at home, and the less educated, a new study finds.

A national survey of 1,800 Americans aged 18 and older questioned participants on how and when they feel angry in order to build "a broader social portrait of anger in the United States," said study researcher Scott Schieman, now at the University of Toronto.

These angry emotions range from mild annoyance to yelling and feelings of outrage.

Vegetarian low protein diet could be key to long life

A vegetarian diet could be the key to a long life, a new study suggests.

Reducing consumption of a protein found in fish and meat could slow the ageing process and increase life expectancy, according to the research.

Scientists have long believed that an ultra low calorie diet - aproximately 60 per cent of normal levels - can lead to greater longevity.

But now a team of British researchers have discovered that the key to the effect is a r… Continue

Fingernail-sized implant successfully eliminates tumors in mammals

In a world first, scientists have successfully eliminated tumors in mammals using a cancer vaccine carried into the body on a fingernail-sized implant. The new approach uses plastic disks impregnated with tumor-specific antigens and implanted under the skin to reprogram the mammalian immune system to attack tumors.

Most cancer cells easily skirt the immune system, which operates by recognizing and attacking invaders from outsid… Continue

Ted Turner gets OK for Yellowstone bison on ranch

BILLINGS, Mont. – The head of Montana's wildlife agency has given preliminary approval to a plan calling for 74 bison from Yellowstone National Park to go to billionaire Ted Turner's private ranch.

Officials hope to eventually use the bison to establish new herds on public lands. But conservationists see the move as privatizing Montana wildlife.

The bison have been held in federal quarantine for the past several years to make sure they don't h… Continue

Scientists 'grow' meat in laboratory

The move towards artificially engineered foods has taken a step forward after scientists grew a form of meat in a laboratory for the first time.

Researchers in the Netherlands have created what was described as soggy pork and are now investigating ways to improve the muscle tissue in the hope that people will one day want to eat it.

No one has yet tasted the product, but it is believed the artificial meat could be on sale within five years.

Vegetarian gro… Continue

Star Trek-like phaser developed

Scientists have developed a Star Trek-like phaser, capable of causing paralysis with a beam of light.

However, anyone hoping that the machine will become a powerful new weapon could be disappointed, scientists have only proven the effect on worms.

A phaser traditionally emits a beam capable of stunning or killing an enemy.

Researchers have now found a way to paralyse tiny worms when they expose them to ultraviolet light.

Even when the ultraviolet light was tu… Continue

Swine flu causes surge of garlic sales in Serbia

Belgrade's open-air markets were a welter of busy customers on Friday, pushing and shoving to buy one item _ garlic.

In Serbia, garlic has long been regarded as a good luck charm and a guard against many ailments. As far as the public is concerned, that includes the swine flu pandemic, which recently has spread in Serbia and triggered near panic among the local population.

That is now evident in Belgrade's produce markets, where the price of ga… Continue

The Center for Environmental Health tested about 250 children’s products and found lead levels that exceeded federal limits in seven. Lead can cause irreversible brain damage.

Among those with high lead levels: a Barbie Bike Flair Accessory Kit and a Disney… Continue

The design flaw in energy saving lightbulbs means they become dimmer over time

Energy-saving lightbulbs being used in millions of homes could lose up to 40 per cent of their brightness over the next few years, engineers warned yesterday.

A design flaw in compact florescent bulbs mean they become dimmer as they age, a report by the Institution of Engineering and Technology said.

Millions could need replacing long before their advertised lifespan of five or six years is reached.
The Government… Continue

Why boys are turning into girls

Gender-bending chemicals are largely exempt from new EU regulations, warns Geoffrey Lean.

Here's something rather rotten from the State of Denmark. Its government yesterday unveiled official research showing that two-year-old children are at risk from a bewildering array of gender-bending chemicals in such everyday items as waterproof clothes, rubber boots, bed linen, food, nappies, sunscreen lotion and moisturising cream.

The 326-page report, published by the… Continue

Fruit and vegetables 'improve complexion more than tan'

Faces are more attractive when they have a “golden glow”, but the effect is better achieved by eating fruit and vegetables than by getting a tan, according to researchers.

Rosy cheeks and light yellowish skin was judged to be the healthiest looking in a series of experiments.

However, a darker, more tanned look appealed less.

The team behind the study said that the only way to achieve the most favoured look was to eat a diet high in fru… Continue

India tells West to stop eating beef

India has urged the West to give up eating beef to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming.

The environment minister, Jairam Ramesh, said if the world abandoned beef consumption, emissions would be dramatically reduced and global warming would slow down.

"The solution to cut emissions is to stop eating beef. It leads to emission of methane which is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide," he said.

The United States, the world'… Continue

Drug Misuse On Minnesota Dairy Cows Prompts Federal Warning

Two Minnesota cows that could have ended up on a dinner plate were pulled from slaughter lines after federal inspectors discovered dangerously high levels of antibiotics in both animals.

In a rare move, federal officials sent stern warning letters to two central Minnesota dairy farms, which were among only 30 farms nationwide reprimanded so far this year for violating the rules governing how animal drugs can be used.

J&L Dairy, i… Continue

Chinese Drywall Linked to Metal Corrosion, U.S. Says

Nov. 23 -- Sulfur emissions from imported Chinese drywall is linked to corroding metal and wires in U.S. homes, and may be causing eye irritation and other health complaints by homeowners, federal investigators said.

A study of 51 homes with Chinese-made drywall found corrosion, including on copper air-conditioner coils, the report by the Consumer Product Safety Commission said today. The homes also had elevated levels of hydrogen sulfide an… Continue

How 16 Ships Create as Much Pollution as All 800,000,000 Cars in the World

Last week it was revealed that 54 oil tankers are anchored off the coast of Britain, refusing to unload their fuel until prices have risen.

But that is not the only scandal in the shipping world. Today award-winning science writer Fred Pearce – environmental consultant to New Scientist and author of Confessions Of An Eco Sinner – reveals that the super-ships that keep the West in everything from Christmas gifts to compu… Continue

Fuel fumes 'can increase anxiety and aggression'

Simply filling up a car can increase the risks of suffering from anxiety and aggression, a new study suggests.

Rats exposed to fumes from fuel became more likely to scratch and fight each other, scientists found.
They were also more likely to display signs of anxiety while the chemicals caused damage to their brain cells, a team from Cairo University have discovered.

The researchers warn that fumes which humans are exposed to on a daily basis c… Continue
