Queenbee — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:06:51 GMT

Drinking alcohol every day cuts the risk of heart disease in men by more than a third, a major study suggests. The Spanish research involving more than 15,500 men and 26,000 women found large quantities of alcohol could be even more beneficial for men. Female drinkers did not benefit to the same extent, the study in Heart found. Experts are critical, warning heavy drinking can increase the risk of other diseases, with alcohol responsible for ...

Queenbee — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:04:42 GMT

Women with brains have more fun in bed than the average "bimbo," new research suggests. A study of more than 2,000 female twins showed that those with greater emotional intelligence had larger numbers of orgasms. Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to monitor and manage feelings and emotions in oneself and others. The findings suggest that low EI is a risk factor for female orgasmic disorder, one of the most common sexual problems suffered by women.Up to 30 per cent ...

GOOGLING is good for grandparents. Internet use can boost the brain activity of the elderly, potentially slowing or even reversing the age-related declines that can end in dementia, researchers have found. Using brain scans, they found the internet stimulated the mind more strongly than reading, and the effects continued long after an internet session had ended. “We found that for older people with minimal experience, performing internet searches for even a relatively short ...

WHITE WINES "BAD FOR THE TEETH"

Queenbee — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:45:42 GMT

Enjoying a glass of white wine on a frequent basis can damage the teeth, something many wine makers and tasters will know first-hand, experts say. Pale plonk packs an acidic punch that erodes enamel far more than red wine, Nutrition Research reports. It is not the wine's vintage, origin or alcohol that are key but its pH and duration of contact with the teeth. Eating cheese at the same time could counter the effects, because it is rich in calcium, the German ...

TRUSTWORTHY VS LUSTWORTHY

Queenbee — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:04:53 GMT

Trustworthy vs lustworthy: the psychology of attraction Chris Smyth Would you buy a used car from this man? The answer depends on whether he looks like you, researchers believe. We are more likely to trust people who look like us, psychologists told the British Science Festival yesterday — even though we find them less attractive. Researchers tested how willing players of a game were to entrust money to strangers whose faces they could see on a computer screen. They found ...

Queenbee — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:54:25 GMT

Moderate drinking 'boosts bones' Women who drink moderate amounts of beer may be strengthening their bones, according to Spanish researchers. Their study of almost 1,700 women, published in the journal Nutrition, found bone density was better in regular drinkers than non-drinkers. But the team added that plant hormones in the beer rather than the alcohol may be responsible for the effects. Experts urged caution, warning that drinking more than two units of alcohol a day was ...

MEN LOSE THEIR MINDS SPEAKING TO PRETTY WOMEN

Queenbee — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:50:01 GMT

Talking to an attractive woman can really make a man lose his mind, according to a new study. The research shows men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain function than those who chat to someone they do not find attractive. Researchers who carried out the study, published in the Journal of Experimental and Social Psychology, think the reason may be that men use up so much of their brain function ...

Taller people live better lives, according to US researchers. More than 454,000 adults aged 18 and over were asked by phone for their height and evaluate their lives. Overall, taller individuals judged their lives more favourably and were more likely to report positive emotions such as enjoyment and happiness. Reporting to the journal Economics and Human Biology, they conclude that this is because the taller people also had higher incomes and ...

BED SHARING 'BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH'

Queenbee — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:56:10 GMT

Couples should consider sleeping apart for the good of their health and relationship, say experts. Sleep specialist Dr Neil Stanley told the British Science Festival how bed sharing can cause rows over snoring and duvet-hogging and robs precious sleep. One study found that, on average, couples suffered 50% more sleep disturbances if they shared a bed. Dr Stanley, who sleeps separately from his wife, points out that historically we were never ...

Brainy men really are the sexiest, claims scientists who have developed a link between intelligence and virility. Psychologists have found that men with the highest IQ also have the healthiest sperm. The findings could explain why some of the world’s most intelligent men have so many female admirers no matter their physical attractiveness. They also suggest that being smart and funny might have developed as a signal to women looking for a mate with healthy genes. The ...

LARGE THIGHS MAY PROTECT HEART

Queenbee — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:17:43 GMT

Large thighs 'may protect heart' Men and women with thighs over 60cm (23.6in) in circumference have a lower risk of heart disease and early death, a study of 3,000 people suggests. The relationship remains even when body fat, smoking and blood cholesterol are taken into account, a Danish team says. Those with narrow thighs may not have enough muscle mass to deal with insulin properly, raising the risk of diabetes and, in turn, heart disease, they say. ...

By: DAILY MAIL REPORTER Scientists are only months away from creating artificial life, it was claimed yesterday. Dr Craig Venter – one of the world’s most famous and controversial biologists – said his U.S. researchers have overcome one of the last big hurdles to making a synthetic organism. The first artificial lifeform is likely to be a simple man-made bacterium that proves that the technology can work. But it will be followed by more complex bacteria that turn coal ...

DNA Evidence Can Be Fabricated, Scientists Show By ANDREW POLLACK Scientists in Israel have demonstrated that it is possible to fabricate DNA evidence, undermining the credibility of what has been considered the gold standard of proof in criminal cases. The scientists fabricated blood and saliva samples containing DNA from a person other than the donor of the blood and saliva. They also showed that if they had access to a DNA profile in a database, they could construct a sample of ...
