Do you need a laugh?? What Religion is Your Bra?

‘I’d like to buy a bra for my wife.
‘What type of bra?’ asked the clerk.

Relieved, the man asked about the types.
The saleslady replied:

Which one would you prefer?’

The Sales lady responded, ‘It is all really quite simple.’

The Catholic type supports the masses;
The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen;
The Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright;
The Baptist type makes mountains out of molehills.

Have you ever wondered
A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G,and Hare the letters used to define bra sizes??

{A} Almost Boobs.
{B} Barely there.
{C} Can’t Complain.
{D} Dang!
{DD} Double dang!
{E} Enormous!
{F} Fake.
{G} Get a Reduction.

Why Women Are More Sensitive to Stress
by LiveScience Staff
Date: 18 June 2010

Women are more likely to suffer from depression and stress out than their cool male counterparts. New research suggests there might be a biological reason for the gender difference.

The new study, done on rats, finds females are more sensitive to low levels of an important stress hormone and less able to adapt to high levels of it than males. Since rats do have some of the same neural systems we do, the rat research could have implications for humans, though stress in humans is more complicated than in rodents, the researchers say.

It has long been recognized that women have a higher incidence of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other anxiety disorders, said study researcher Rita Valentino, a behavioral neuroscientist at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. But the underlying biological mechanisms for that difference have been unknown.

Valentino’s research focuses on corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a hormone released in the brain in responses to stress, in both humans and rats. CRF is a neurotransmitter, meaning it helps communicate signals between brain cells. Some neurons “send out” the CRF signal while others contain receptors to receive it.

Valentino and her colleagues analyzed the brains of rats as they responded to a swim stress test, aimed to trigger the release of the CRF hormone.

In female rats, neurons had receptors for CRF that bound more tightly to the hormone than in male rats, and so were more responsive to CRF.

Also, after exposure to stress, male rats had an adaptive response, called internalization, in their brain cells. Their cells reduced the number of CRF receptors, and became less responsive to the hormone. In female rats this adaptation did not occur.

“This is an animal study, and we cannot say that the biological mechanism is the same in people,” Valentino said, adding that other mechanisms play a role in human stress responses, including the actions of other hormones. However, “researchers already know that CRF regulation is disrupted in stress-related psychiatric disorders, so this research may be relevant to the underlying human biology,” she said.

In addition much of the previous research on stress disorders in animal models used only male rodents, so important sex differences may have gone undetected, Valentino said. “Pharmacology researchers investigating CRF antagonists as drug treatments for depression may need to take into account gender differences at the molecular level,” she said.

Lipstick Harmful For Teeth
Thursday, February 18, 2010

Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo have discovered lipsticks are bad for health. They found that a lot of lip products contain hard paraffin, a substance that ruins teeth enamel.
Makeup products use a little amount of paraffin, but, if applied regularly, this could lead to caries, according to the head of research group, Antonio Habier.

Paraffin firmly sticks to the surface of teeth, gluing infinitesimal particles of food, which creates a breeding ground for the reproduction of infectious bacteria. You can erase paraffin leftovers only by repeatedly brushing your teeth.

Regular use of lipstick leads to more infectious bacteria, making tiny cracks in the enamel. Those cracks are invisible to your eyes, and you won’t be aware of decaying process until you notice large cavities of decay. So the experts recommend women who often retouch their lips to provide more protection for their teeth.
