Men who marry younger will live longer

A study by Germany’s Max Planck Institute has found that men who marry younger women live longer than their counterparts who marry older females.

The study also found that men who married older women were more likely to die early. The researchers said that the findings may have come about as only the fittest of men are able to attract younger females even if they are aged. “Another theory is that a younger woman will care for a man better and therefore he will live longer,” said institute spokesman Sven Drefahl.

The study found that men may reduce their risk of premature death by 11% if they marry women seven to nine years younger than them. Men who marry women between 15 and 17 years younger than themselves reduce their risk of premature death by 20%.

In contrast, men who married women who were seven to nine years older than them had a 20% risk of early death.

HIV outbreak has Hit the Us Porn Industry -Bad

The multi-billion dollar adult film industry in the US has been left facing a storm after 22 porn actors were reported to have contracted HIV.

State health officials in California fear moviemakers may not be following regulations that require them to provide protection against the transmission of the disease on film sets.
The state Division of Occupational Safety was looking to begin a formal investigation after a woman recently tested positive for HIV just after shooting an adult film.

“Our concern is that we need to quickly get to the employer so that we can work with them to change their practices to ensure the proper safety measures are being taken to prevent the additional spread of HIV,” The Daily Telegraph quoted agency spokesman Dean Fryer as saying.
Los Angeles County health officials revealed 22 cases of HIV had been confirmed in industry performers since 2004.

Dr. Jonathan Fielding, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Health, said there were “persistent reports” about reckless practices.

Fryer added: “There is no reason these infections should be occurring if these employers are following these precautions.”

Producers had made condoms mandatory after an HIV outbreak in 2004 but following a rebellion from both actors and audiences, it was made optional.

Steven Hirsch, co-Chief Executive of Vivid Entertainment Group, one of the industry’s largest filmmakers, said: “What happened was the talent didn’t want to use condoms. As a result, we decided to go condom optional.”

Scientists Replicate Sea Food Toxins

Scientists have for the first time replicated an elusive seafood toxin found in shellfish and certain algae that can cause illness and even death, according to a study released on Wednesday.
The achievement opens the way to tests to detect the poison and should boost efforts to find an antidote, the researchers said.

Chlorosulpholipids are complex molecules that form inside the cell membranes of host organisms. In nature, they exist only in minute quantities, and this has stalled efforts to study their origins and effects.

The toxin was isolated in algae in the 1960s and was discovered in shellfish for the first time in 2001, in mussels farmed in the Adriatic off the coast of Italy.

In the study, a trio of scientists at the Organic Chemistry Laboratory in Switzerland, led by Erick Carreira, cracked the chemical code of the toxin in a series of experiments, making it possible to reproduce the compound.

“The concise synthesis can provide enough material for biological and pharmacological studies,” said the study, published in the London-based journal Nature.
