Monkeys should read this...but can't

a new study shows that

1. monkeys on low calorie diets lived about a decade longer (30% longer!)
2. monkeys on low calorie diets didn't get diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension
3. if given the opportunity, the monkeys resumed a high calorie diet and got fat

I think humans and monkeys will ignore this work.

Well, if humans can't be expected to change their life for science, maybe they can change their life for God's dietary commands

Also some info on bilingual subjects!

What will this group do next?

Is it really a sign that Republicans are losing their base?

Iran

An article has a hopeful outlook on Iran's nuclear ambitions. Do you agree that the middle east's instability will force America to develop alternative energy and fuel?
