A law which criminalize the people who use seeds and plants which are not registered with the government.

A new law proposed by the European commission would make it illegal to grow, reproduce or trade any vegetable which have not been tested, approved and accepted by the new EU bureaucracy named the EU plant variety agency. It's called the plant reproductive material law. This plant reproductive material law puts government in charge of virtually all plants and seeds. Home gardeners who grow their own plants from their own regulated seeds are considered criminals under this law. As home gardeners grow the plants by hands and not by machines so there is no way to register the varieties suitable for home use as they don't meet the criteria of the plant variety agency. While this law may only be targeted only at commercial gardeners but it will soon reach out the home gardeners and require them to abide by the same regulations.

Prolonged use of painkillers up the heart attack risk by 33%.

High doses of two common painkillers, Diclofenac and Ibuprofen, taken over a long period of time increases the risk of heart attack.The researchers analysed 639 random drug trials and assembled information on more than 350,000 patients, and found that for every 1000 arthritis sufferers, rate of people who suffered heart attack. These drugs have also been linked to illnesses like stomach ulcers. The study found the increased risk of cardiac side effects from ibuprofen was similar to those of another arthritis drug, Vioxx, which was withdrawn from the market almost a decade ago when research had suggested it might double the risk of heart attacks.   A new generation of NSAIDs known as coxibs were introduced, which had a lesser risk of stomach pains, but they were widely linked to an increase in heart attack, leading to public concern. 

Women who suffered physical and sexual abuse in childhood are much more likely to battle against food addiction as adults.

Women who fight against physical and sexual abuse in their childhood are much more likely to battle against food addiction as adults than women who did not experience such violence, according to a new study. Women who had experienced physical abuse before the age of 18 were twice as likely to have food addiction in middle of adulthood compared with women without a history of childhood abuse. The liklihood of food addiction was increased further for women who had experienced both physical and sexual abuse in her childhood. The childhood abuse not only affected the mental health but also the physical health of the women. There has been a relevant link between childhood abuse and obesity. The cause of this link is probably due to the immense amount of stress leading to overeating of foods rich in fat or sugar.

Chocolates are healthy for your teeth. It can stop tooth decay.

Studies have found that chocolates are less likely to cause dental decay than other sweet foods. In fact it helps in fighting tooth decay. Scientists believe that one day some of its components will be added to toothpaste or mouthwash. Contrary to its popular belief that it can fight against tooth decay, there have been studies that show that chocolates can prevent cancer and heart diseases. They discovered that the cocoa bean husk – the outer part of the bean which usually goes to waste in chocolate production – has an anti-bacterial effect on the mouth and can fight effectively against dental plaque and other damaging agents. Foods that contain fermentable carbohydrates (FCs) are the nasty cavity-causing culprit! Although FCs are found in chocolate, the cocoa butter in chocolate coats the teeth, making it less likely to cause tooth decay. Chocolate may be high in sugar, but it melts quickly in your mouth, leaving little time for bacteria to attack your teeth and cause cavities. Plus, if you brush regularly, you won’t have a problem!

Dolphins call each other by specific names when they become separated.

We know dolphins are very smart. Now new research finds that bottlenose dolphins, call each other with specific names when they become separated.According to Discovery News report, lead author Stephanie King of the University of St. Andrews Sea Mammal Research Unit, said:“Animals produced copies when they were separated from a close associate and this supports our belief that dolphins copy another animal’s signature whistle when they want to reunite with that specific individual. Interestingly, captive dolphins can learn new signals and refer to objects and it may be that dolphins can use signature whistle copies to label or refer to an individual, which is a skill inherent in human language.Dolphin whistles can be detected up to 20 km away (12.4 miles) depending on water depth and whistle frequency.

In 2002, a 19 years old garbage man won $15 million lottery, spent it all on drugs, gambling, and prostitutes. Now he’s a garbage man again.

Michael Carroll (lottery winner) , who hails from Britain,  was a 19-year old garbage man in 2002. After winning the mula, he enjoyed celebrity status for sometime in the all-nagging British media, a self-proclaimed ‘King of Chavs’, a phrase emblazoned on his black Mercedes van. 

He began spending innocently enough at first-presents here for family, presents there for friends, and so on. Then, he began spending not so innocently on things like crack cocaine, gambling, prostitutes (at one point sleeping with about four a day), and enough booze to drown the sad midday crowd at an Irish pub.

Eight years down the line and he finds himself broke and back to working as a garbageman. According to him, he’s happier for it, at least based on what he said: “I find it easier to live off £42 dole than a million.”
Right. He has since made two suicide attempts, after returning to the £42-a-week jobseeker’s allowance.
