Weight-Loss That’s Fast & Easy Could All Start With A Strange Change To Your Senses

Science Continues To Discover Human Freakonomics:
So as research on weight-loss and other health-concerns goes on, we’re reminded in new ways how quirky human beings really are.

Whether it’s the revelation that speed-eating makes you gain weight faster,

Or even the part of those studies that show the experience of tasting is actually more smelling the food than anything else.

And in its pursuit of the weird side of humanity, Science is discovering an even more interesting part of diet.

How you smell your food may affect your health in really unexpected ways…

Back To The Future!: Old Drug Provides New Benefits In Fight Against Alzheimer’s
john rylands reading room enclosure manchester england


Retro Approach To New Info Pays Off:
In the field of research, The New rules the roost. What’s old is considered obsolete.

And nowhere is this more obvious than the search for cures to diseases.

Both The How & The Why seem so complex, the Solution must be something supercomputer-complex, & supercomputer-new, also.

Well, in a strange turn of events, an English team took the recent trend of Inflammation being implicated in many diseases, including Alzheimer’s,

And ran with it, back to a 2,000+ year-old fix that looks like the start of a new cure…

Strange Brew: Why Is Post-Drinking Munchies, or ‘The Aperitif Effect’ So Powerful?

Legacy Of Alcohol, The Ham-Fist Way:
Over time, we’ve tried to sing the praises of alcohol; from Beer BS to Hangover bro-science.

Along the way, we’ve discovered some strange contradictions, like: Thirst is often mistaken for Hunger, & Mars500 finding a great reason to control your salt-intake.

So in the spirit of Weird, !SCIENCE! brings us another “WTF, Mother Nature?!!”

That contradiction starts with our bizarre need to eat after Animal House-level symphonies of drinking…

Video: DNews Asks Which Creativity Drug Works Best. -Alcohol Or Marijuana?


How To Optimize Free Creative Output:
Since some super-creative people have taken different psychoactives to help them work better, there has been a long debate about which is more effective.

And in this video, DNews looks into two of them. Marijuana and Alcohol.

It would seem at first that many writers tend to favor Alcohol, with guys like Fitzgerald, Hemingway, & Twain being on that list.

But on the other hand, many other artistic folk seem to favor Marijuana. To name a few of them: Carl Sagan, Alexandre Dumas, and Salvador Dali.

So which is the best “supplement” for creativity-boostage?…

Video: Cracked Takes A Crack At An Honest Antidepressant Commercial + Bonus!


The Drug-Pushers Are Here For Your Soul:
In this video, Cracked’s Honest Commercials touches on a little bit of our problems with drug companies.

This time, for Antidepressants.

It’s a bit drier and more ironic than their normal stuff, but a lot of it is dead-on.

Especially about switching medications, the placebo effect on mood disorders, incomplete understanding of depression-mechanics and their brain-chemistry roots,

And most of all, Marketing psychoactive drugs to individual consumers…

Oh Pot, Is There Nothing You Can’t Make Better? -Marijuana’s THC Removes Alzheimer’s Junk From Brain

Reefer Madness Perhaps Not So Mad After All:
Now I know the stoner-crowd has a rep for being a bunch of hippie-dropouts who will use just about any pseudoscience available to defend their habit.

Because they want their drugs and that’s all there is to it. -Munchies be damned.

Well buckle-up Amanda Bynes, because !SCIENCE! just dropped one of the dankest jams in-favor of THC since the invention of the cannabinoid-receptor 600 million years ago.

(not counting any of the Magnum Opuses by Messrs. Cheech & Chong)…

Video: The Vlog Brothers’ John Green Asks Why American Healthcare Costs Are Too Damn High. More Than A Dozen Reasons!


Capitalism’s Unfortunate Downside:
A little while ago, I found a very shocking statistic.

Though we didn’t have government health insurance until recently, the the stat said the US spends the most money on healthcare; -in the entire world.

The closest competitor to us was Switzerland. And even though you wouldn’t expect to see people dropping like flies in a “rough” place like that, we still spent more.

400% More.

So in this video, John Green of Vlog Brothers and Mental Floss fame turns some research into a newer, more internet-ified picture of why it costs so much here…

No Such Thing As A Free Lunch…:
So for awhile now, not counting the snake-oil-soaked 1800s & 1900s, we’ve been living in an era of a drug for almost every ailment, right down to a mild sniffle.

Recently it seems more and more of them are available without a prescription.

Though they’re usually ignored, the Side-Effects of both types can be a real problem.

And once again, people like our pal Yasmina Rossi who try not to take anything unless it’s a dire circumstance are looking like psychic geniuses.

Because this time researchers have discovered a new problem with drug side-effects; -and your Brain…
