If a person is fully satisfied with himself and his achievements, there is a likelihood that he will opt for junk food. In this assured by experts from the University of Chicago, University of South Carolina College and Babson College Baru.
Scientists state: the pride of the work done or achieved goals weakens self-control. This increases the risk that people will give up the slack and fall through, eating unhealthy foods, despite the rigid diet. These observations were confirmed during the experiment.
The researchers gathered a group of student volunteers and offered them a choice of two gift certificates, previously inquired about a sense of pride in their accomplishments and deeds. One certificate can be used for study, and another - for entertainment.
In the end it turned out, students often feel proud of themselves, quickly choose a certificate for entertainment. By the way, an additional experiment proved that: a sense of pride pushed consumers to buy french fries instead of vegetable salad....

Reovirus help treat cancer
Common virus that causes cold symptoms have or bowel disorders, can defeat the malignant tumor. Researchers from Georgetown University organized a clinical experiment in which test the ability of the agent to work on some types of cancer.
In five years, the child is likely to be infected with reovirus. Picture of the disease when the infection is as follows: cough, bouts of diarrhea, sometimes the disease is asymptomatic. Thanks to the human body's immune system kills the virus itself. The researchers found that the virus develops into cancer cells, and their presence inhibits the growth of tumors. This work was aimed at identifying the possibility of using the virus for the treatment of cancer.
The researchers called artificial genetic mutation of the virus, because of which he lost the ability to infect humans. Malignant cells are forced to mutate genes KRAS or EGFR, and these genes make cancer cells vulnerable to the effects of the virus. When the cell mass of the reovirus enters cancer, it is something like an explosion.
It is now planned clinical trials of the virus with cancer patients. They will introduce the virus in combination with drugs and to monitor how the tumor will behave.

Pandemic flu this winter will not be
WHO experts say that the winter season 2010-2011, an epidemic of swine flu no threat to mankind. In addition, the World Health Organization assures us that in the past year, pandemic threat was real, and that all information about artificially fomented panic should be considered unreasonable.
Strain of influenza A/H1N1, has extended a year ago, this year will not cause mass infection. WHO predicts the spread of seasonal influenza, which will be the agent itself or the A/H1N1 strain of H3N2. The best method to protect themselves from the flu vaccine remains. This mainly concerns people at risk category.
The representative of WHO, Mr. Gertl commented on allegations of PACE Committee on Health Care. This body has accused the WHO of artificial stoking panic and exaggerate the dangers of swine flu. Gertl said that last winter, pandemic threat was very real, because the virus strain that appeared then, was not known before. Less than a month the agent dispersed throughout the world, that is, they were clear signs of a pandemic.
WHO subverts all the accusations of collusion with the pharmaceutical giants, and draws people's attention on the importance of flu shots as the only effective method of preventing this dangerous viral infection. Mr. Gretel says that with any pharmaceutical company in the world, WHO has not signed a secret treaty, and that all the rumors about it - no more than a lack of awareness of those who disseminate them.

Living in Britain and the U.S. refuse to bathe
The number of people who flouts the rules of hygiene, is growing every day, according to The Guardian, with reference to The New York Times. Many consciously avoid the soul and tap water at all. Press has dubbed this trend "escape from the soap."
As an alternative, soul, and deodorants are encouraged to use lemon (should squeeze it into the armpit), baby wipes. Although someone on the debt of forced to bathe once a month, and use deodorant at all pointless. This in particular relates to fishermen.
In this case, these trends can be observed not only in the U.S. and Europe. So, last year's survey found that 41% of British male and 33% - women do not wash daily. And only 12% once or twice a week to fully wash. And independent research company Mintel found: more than half of British teenagers do not wash every day, using deodorant and perfume to mask the odor.
