I guess this is a case of too much of a good thing!:

Bodybuilding supplement overuse 'an eating disorder' A new study of over-the-counter bodybuilding supplement use has found that many men who use these products are concerned with how often they use them.

Fingers crossed that this works, so many families deal with childhood behavioral problems:

Omega-3: Intervention for childhood behavioral problems? Omega-3, a fatty acid commonly found in fish oil, may have long-term neurodevelopmental effects that ultimately reduce antisocial and aggressive behavior problems in children, a new study suggests.

So it's our genes that are the determinants of whether we are larks or owls:

Geneticists clock genetic differences between 'larks' and 'night owls' Geneticists have for the first time identified the genetic clues behind what makes you a 'lark' or an 'owl'. Based on analysis of a fruit fly, the scientists have discovered nearly 80 genes associated with 'morningness' and 'eveningness'.

Good news for parents whose children seem to be addicted to video games: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/05/150508105656.htm

Cooperative video game play elicits pro-social behavior, research finds A new study examined aggressive behavior between subjects playing games cooperatively, competitively and by themselves. It seems playing video games cooperatively with others can lead to widespread benefits by making players think helpful behaviors are valuable and commonplace.

How cool is this? A new way to restore vision:

Light in sight: A step towards a potential therapy for acquired blindness A promising new therapeutic approach for hereditary blindness based on a technology termed 'optogenetics' is to introduce light-sensing proteins into these surviving retinal cells, turning them into 'replacement photoreceptors' and thereby restoring vision. However, several factors limit the feasibi…

More on the dangers of steroid use:

Incredible Bulk or Incredible Hulk? Side effects of steroid use A lot of hard work, practice and dedication can help you sculpt a well-muscled body, but anabolic steroids will get you there a lot faster. What will it cost you, though? The short side of the long story of this research-based conclusion is: Don't use steroids.

New research on a possible link between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease:

Scientists find new link between diabetes and Alzheimer's Researchers have uncovered a unique connection between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease, providing further evidence that a disease that robs people of their memories may be affected by...

Maybe this is why we stayed slimmer in high school and college? We sat for an hour or so, then, spent up to 5 minutes walking between classes/buildings:

Walking an extra two minutes each hour may offset hazards of sitting too long A new study suggests that engaging in low intensity activities such as standing may not be enough to offset the health hazards of sitting for long periods of time. On the bright side, adding two minutes of walking each hour to your routine just might do the trick.

Good news in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease:

Alzheimer's amyloid protein development halted in mice Treatment with a new compound that precisely targets and blocks only amyloid precursor protein reduced plaque accumulation by 50% in Alzheimer's mice after 2 weeks.

Having trouble dieting? The problem is your neurons!:

Hate to diet? It's how we're wired If you're finding it difficult to stick to a weight-loss diet, scientists say you can likely blame AGRP neurons -- hunger-sensitive cells in your brain. New experiments show these neurons are responsible for the unpleasant feelings of hunger that make snacking irresistible. The negative emotions ass…

Scientists identify key protein in immune response to allergies and worms Scientists have discovered a protein that plays a key role in the body's inflammation response to allergens and worms. The protein regulate genes without changing their DNA.

What's that you hear? Tinnitis?:

In search of tinnitus, that phantom ringing in the ears About one in five people experience tinnitus, the perception of a sound -- often described as ringing -- that isn't really there. Now, researchers have taken advantage of a rare opportunity to record directly from the brain of a person with tinnitus in order to find the brain networks responsible.

Good reason to have that cup of coffee:

Coffee 'could halve breast cancer recurrence' in tamoxifen-treated patients Consuming at least two cups of coffee a day could halve the risk of recurrence in patients diagnosed with breast cancer who are treated with tamoxifen, according to a new study.

Very interesting!:

Body clock sensitive to color of light For the first time, researchers show that the body clock of mammals can distinguish dawn and twilight not just because of differences in intensity but also in colors of the light.

Genome mapping having an effect on our health:

Genetic clues to brighter brains past the age of 45 Scanning our genetic code for variations linked to mental agility has helped to pinpoint a location on the human genome associated with efficient thinking.
