Don't tell the other team! Is this the ultimate guide to scoring and saving penalties? Posted: 20 Jun 2014 07:31 AM PDT As the world once again draws its attention to the FIFA World Cup, fans watch in fervor to see their country take on all-comers, in hopes that they will become the world champion. Surely, no part of the event is more tense, dramatic and exhilarating than the penalty shootout- a situation that often determines who goes through to the next round, and who heads home. |
Feel-good hormones could cause UV addiction Posted: 19 Jun 2014 09:52 AM PDT Sun lovers eagerly flock to the beach every summer, despite widespread awareness of the risk of skin cancer. A new study reveals that chronic exposure to UV radiation causes the release of feel-good hormones called endorphins, which act through the same pathway as heroin, leading to physical dependence, tolerance, and addiction-like behavior in rodents. The findings could explain why people have an instinctive desire to be in the sun, despite its known health risks. |
Antioxidants extracted from grape seeds, skin show promise for health Posted: 17 Jun 2014 10:08 AM PDT They normally go to landfills as waste, but grape seeds and skin are full of antioxidants, and researchers used enzymes to extract the nutritious elements in a recent study. But by using cellulase, pectinase and glucosidase, scientists found the grape seeds and skin aren't just a waste product. The enzymes increase the antioxidant activity, from the grape seeds and skins. New uses could include food additives or nutritional supplements. |
