A long time ago, one of our distant ancestors thought, I want to suck the thick white liquid right outta that cow-boob. Thousands of years later, not much has changed: Americans consume approximately 630 pounds of dairy products—including milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream—per year. Whether these...
Try not to think about this the next time you go swimming: Pools are disgusting. You could even argue that they’re basically little more than giant, swimmable, chlorine-filled toilet bowls. According to one Canadian study, there’s an average of eight gallons of pee in a typical 110,000-gallon...

I spend every workday bouncing between feeling like I just shotgunned a gallon of crack water and feeling like I need a month-long hibernation period (normally only about an hour apart). According to science, this isn’t a bipolar disorder, but simply the fact that I’ve been drinking...

Sitting on your butt and not doing anything has always been a recipe for dying young (exercise is good for you, yo). But according to new research, being a couch potato also could change the type of person you are before your untimely death. According to Scientific...
