The "harmless" sleep habit that increases your cancer risk

What if I were to tell you that one simple habit that many people have can wreak havoc on your body? In fact, it significantly shuts down the production of one of the most important hormones in your body? Well, there's no "what if" about it. It's true. And a new study is showing just how dramatically it can happen.

Why your brain shrinks with age

Did you know that the brains of chimpanzees do not shrink with age? It's true.

In a recent study, researchers compared the volume of brain matter in 99 chimps encompassing their adult lifespan of 10-51 years of age. They then compared the findings to human brains structure in 87 adults, aged 22-88 years. Human brains shrunk throughout their normal lifespan, while chimp brains don't shrink at all.

Researchers find cancer cure - but drug companies won't develop it

What if Big Pharma came across a synthetic compound that stopped cancer in its tracks? And what if it was nontoxic as well? You'd hear about it before you could blink. Now suppose that researchers actually found a compound that did exactly that, but it was a natural compound that's likely in your refrigerator right now. You wouldn't hear even a whisper about it from the media. Well, it's happened.
