A major review of global smoking cessation research has found that e-cigarettes containing nicotine appear to help people quit smoking more effectively than several other commonly used methods. These include nicotine replacement therapy (nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, etc.), non-nicotine e-cigarettes, and behavioral support programs. The research combined evidence from multiple systematic reviews to provide a […]
Doctors Say Your Ice Pack Might Be Making Injuries Worse
A new study is raising questions about one of the most common injury treatments: ice. Icing a sprained ankle or aching muscle has long been a go to way to ease pain and swelling, but new research suggests it may come with a tradeoff. Over time, icing could slow recovery and make pain last longer. […]
Scientists Discover 43-Foot Sea Reptile Twice the Size of a Great White Shark
A newly identified mosasaur from Texas suggests that some ancient marine predators were larger, more powerful, and possibly more aggressive than previously recognized. Bite marks, broken jaws, and a giant skull from Texas are helping scientists redraw the family tree of one of the ocean’s most fearsome ancient predators. The animal behind the evidence was […]

Bees and Birds Are Drinking Alcohol From Flowers
As bees and hummingbirds move from flower to flower collecting nectar and pollinating plants, they may also be consuming small amounts of alcohol. In the first large-scale study examining alcohol in floral nectar, biologists at the University of California, Berkeley detected ethanol in at least one flower sample from 26 of the 29 plant species […]
