We\'re sure there are plenty of benefits to marrying a younger guy
(we\'re not even going to use the word \"cougar\") but it looks
like a long life expectancy isn\'t one of them. Science Daily
reported that researchers from Germany\'s Max Planck Institute for
Demographic Research, who studied data on Danish couples to arrive
at this conclusion, aren\'t sure why marrying a younger guy is bad
for a woman\'s life span. But according to the study, the greater
the age difference, the lower the wife\'s life expectancy. Ouch.
Even more annoying, the opposite is true for ...

Do Men Really Like "Cougars?"
Despite the negative connotations of the word "cougar," the concept
of a woman who dates younger men has gotten so much pop culture
play (Cougar Town, for one), you'd think the country was crawling
with Demi Moores and Madonnas. But guess what: a study conducted on
people in 14 countries shows that the dating dynamic isn't as
common as you might think. The study was conducted by the
University of Wales Institute, Cardiff on online dating habits, and
the results suggest that women seek men who are their age or older
for their stability and wealth, while men often look for younge...
Are You Hanging On To Products Way Too Long?
If you're like a lot of women, yeah, probably. The Telegraph
reported on a recent British study sponsored by the department
store Debenhams—it found that 68 percent of British women
only replace makeup and skin care products when they run out, even
if it takes years to go through a tube. (We're willing to bet
plenty of American women are guilty of this too.) They kept mascara
for a year, though it should be replaced every 4 to 6 months.
Lipstick, which should be tossed after a year or two at the most,
languished in drawers for as long as a decade (shudder). Some women
e...
A New Secret to Healthier Skin?
There's a new kind of omega on the block. We've all heard about the
tons of health benefits of getting enough omega-3 fatty acids. Now
a new study from the University of Illinois suggests omega-6 fatty
acids can help your skin. The study on mice, which was published in
the Journal of Lipid Research, found that a deficiency in
arachidonic acid (a type of omega-6) in mice made them scratch
themselves continuously. When researchers gave the mice omega-6,
boom—their skin got better. The scientists think that
incorporating the fatty acid, which is found in meat, eggs, and
dair...
Can Sound Affect Smell?
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. "What your brain really does is take objects and process
them." Though exactly how this relates to perfume is yet to be
outlined, perhaps listening to Beyoncé while giving yourself
a spritz of Heat will enhance the experience. ...
Are All Women Freaked Out About Fat?
In a new study from Brigham Young University reported on Science
Daily, women with no signs of eating disorders were shown photos of
overweight women and then had MRIs. In the scans of the
normal-weight women, their brains lit up in the area that processes
identity and self-reflection—which researchers say indicates
they were worrying about becoming overweight themselves. (It may
not come as a huge surprise that in a similar test on men, the guys
didn't show any signs of worry or self-reflection.) Basically, this
is noteworthy because in previous studies, rese...
