Well,
it's pretty much the opposite of milk. A recent study published in
the Journal of Science of Food and Agriculture by your
college
boyfriend's fraternity (kidding) found that
beer was a rich source of silicon, which helps increase bone
density and may help prevent
osteoporosis. Pale ales contained the highest silicon content. But

Now here's something you don't hear every day: something binge drinking doesn't completely screw up. A study by Boston University School of Public Health and Brown University, published in the April edition of the journal Addiction, indicates binge drinking before taking a test really doesn't make a difference in the score. (If we knew then what we know now...) But seriously—of course this is not evidence that binge drinking before a test, before work, or pretty much anytime is...
Musicians who have created fragrances may be on to something: new research published in the Journal of Neuroscience found that scent regions of the brain also respond to sound. "While we like to think that there are five separate senses, that's not the way it works," Brandeis University neurobiologist Donald Katz said to Scientific American.

A couple Valentine's Days ago, we thought our BF knew us well enough to know what we would want. A bottle of bad scented body lotion later, we realized how wrong we were! So with February 14th approaching, we wondered how much of this new British research reported in the Daily Mail applies here in the U.S. The survey of 6,000 men, sponsored by The Perfume Shop, found that the
Makeup artists have been tellling us over and over that for fall 2010, there's a major focus on brows: They're a little darker, a bit elongated—all in all, more prominent. But at Balenciaga, makeup artist Pat McGrath took the strong-brows idea and really rolled with it, turning several of the models' eyebrows one of seven sorbet colors. If the idea of baby pink, mint green, robin's-egg blue, or pale orange brows sounds more disgusting than delicious, you have to check out the photos from the...
