• Cambridge and Sydney scientists found that 7 alcoholic drinks - like a glass of wine or a pint of beer - are the sweet spots to reduce inflammation. which causes pain, in the body
• The research teams noted that alcohol causes substantial diseases globally, including cancer & liver disease

• If you think your dog behaves like a little Einstein, it probably is
• New research by scientists in Sweden & Hungary has documented that modern dog breeds have much larger brains, capable of more, than their ancient predecessors
• They found this to be the case - an increase in brain size - in all modern breeds
• They attribute it to the domestication of dogs into more complex, home/social environments, more rules & commands, more attention to human interaction & urbanization
• 865 dogs, 159 dog breeds & 48 wolves were part of the research
• By comparison, dog brains are 3/4th the size of wolf brains
• The scientists say that wolves are likely more mentally challenged by the need to find food and ward off prey than dogs which have been domesticated for 25,000 years.
