This natural form of pain relief may help animals in the wild avoid distraction while eating scarce food, but in modern humans with readily available food, the effect may contribute to overeating and obesity. http://www.physorg.com/news174671978.html Medicine & Health Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:00:08 EST news174671978 Can the idea of 'green motorsport' actually work?

This finding helps explain why eating can be triggered by environmental cues even in the absence of hunger. The results have implications for the development of new drug treatments for overeating. http://www.physorg.com/news167912905.html Medicine & Health Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:30:02 EST news167912905 Scientists in Britain are looking for women willing to eat chocolate every day for a year -- all in the name of medical science. http://www.physorg.com/news167569508.html Medicine & Health Thu, 23 Jul 2009 12:20:01 EST news167569508 Larry Wackett and Michael Sadowsky, members of the University of Minnesota's BioTechnology Institute, developed an enzyme that is used in Bioo Scientific's new MaxDiscovery(TM) Melamine Test kit, which simplifies the detection of melamine contamination in food. Melamine is an industrial chemical that killed six Chinese children and hospitalized 150,000 last year after it was added to milk to increase its apparent protein content. Some children may have life-long chronic kidney problems resulting from melamine exposure. http://www.physorg.com/news167401193.html Chemistry Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:50:06 EST news167401193 A racing car created from potatoes and carrots and powered by chocolate will be put through its paces this weekend at the world`s largest celebration of motorsport. http://www.physorg.com/news165846610.html Technology Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:31:14 EST news165846610 Soccer players and exercise enthusiasts now have another reason to reach for lowfat chocolate milk after a hard workout, suggests a new study from James Madison University presented at the American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting.
