Love Lasts Only 4 Years

Geniusbeauty.com — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 12:37:34 +0000

Researchers at National Autonomous University of Mexico claim, that every infatuation lasts no more than four years. According to the scientists, infatuation which resembles temporary madness is caused by the activation of specific chemical compounds in the brain. Even the deepest love will not be there anymore, when the “reserve” of these compounds runs out (in 4 years at most). Then passionate love becomes just emotional addiction or sexual dependence.(...)

Geniusbeauty.com — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 19:07:39 +0000

Researchers at Purdue University’s Ingestive Behavior Research Center have compared the way artificial sweeteners (saccharin) and sugar effect health. Sugar substitutes are much sweeter than natural table sugar, but have practically no calories compared to 15 calories/teaspoon contained in the latter. Nonetheless, experimental mice, who ate yoghurt sweetened with zero-calorie saccharin, consumed later more calories and, as a result, gained more weight and fat than those mice, who ate yoghurt with glucose (simple sugar).(...)

Geniusbeauty.com — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 14:05:50 +0000

Scientists from the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, Britain, are developing natural appetite suppressants, which will curb hunger. They effect on the brain area, which is responsible for hunger. It should work the following way: the molecules of this preparation blocks the breakdown of fat in the gut triggering a hormonal response, which tells the brain, that you have eaten enough. Researchers hope, that such preparations will soon be added into a whole range of foods, especially unhealthy ones, like cakes, biscuits etc. This means, that the products themselves will suppress your appetite. This is a good news for those who want to eat less and lose weight.

Geniusbeauty.com — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 16:44:38 +0000

A two-stage study has shown, that women, who follow Mediterranean diet in pregnancy, also protect their babies from childhood asthma and allergy. During the first stage of the study, 1997, doctors recruited 507 women who attended an antenatal clinic on Menorca, Spain. These women were quizzed about their dietary habits. Six years later the children of these women were examined for asthma and were tested to see if their organisms responded to six common allergens.
