Puberty Starts At 8 and Ends At 28

Puberty actually begins already in childhood and ends only when the children are twenty-eight. That is the conclusion of some Australian psychologists.

All educational models assume that puberty starts around the age of twelve and ends when we are twenty-one. Wrong, say Australian psychologists. In their opinion puberty already starts at eight years old and continues until you're eight twenty.

If the allegations of the Australian professors are correct, this could give a seismic shift at education level. This would mean parents should be aware that children begin to discover themselves more quickly and that this problem phase lasts much longer. Many parents remember the trouble they've had with their twenty-five-year-old children, sometimes seeming like an "unsupportable" character. Following their conclusion, this might be explained easily. They are still in puberty and are still struggling with their own personal development," the professors say.

Dating Sites Are Untrustworthy

According to the survey of a consumer organization, dating sites and relation agencies are often not to be trusted. More than often they lure customers with rather obscure practices. .

Most of the time these agencies haven't enough customers to be effective in helping somebody with a partner. In order to overcome the problem, they start to deceit. They arrange for instance a date with people who were paid by the agencies themselves or with people who don't even exist.

Customers of a marriage agency may need to pay first before they come into contact with some potential partner.

Weakness

The on-line dating business is even more dangerous, according to the researchers. Customers can often register only after they have completed an expensive subscription, without any guarantee of success.

The chat sessions on dating sites are often deceitful, they use hostesses with fake profiles to  take care of the chats and meetings or dates are postponed until the customer has renewed his or her subscription.

According to the consumer organization it concerns an abuse of the weakness or the loneliness of the members. It is very unusual for clients of dating sites or agencies to go to court.

Blondes Have Higher Wages

Blond Women may carry with them the stigma of stupidity, it doesn't keep them passing by all other women on the wage scale. That's what says a study published in the Journal of Economics Letters.


When the standard annual salary is 22,000 euros, blondes earn 1600 euros on average more. The partners of blonds earn a lot more than their colleagues. About the reasons the researchers as yet very vague, but presidents of blondes clubs think to have the answer: "Blondes are more fun and go more out. This automatically brings them to richer, social men. The more sociable you also are, the better you perform in the workplace.".

Tap Water Makes You Fat

London's tap water is not as healthy as what people would think. Research shows that you can grow fat instead of helping to loose weight. That says nutritionist Adam Carey.

Bisphenol and Estrogen

The water purification stations in London are often unable to stop all soluble chemicals. So there is still a lot of Bisphenol in the water, and this substance could eventually lead to heart diseases and diabetes. The hormone estrogen is also often present in London's tap water. This allows you to start accumulating more fat rather than to get rid of it.

Still, Carey promotes the use of water, albeit with a strong water filter or simply by drinking bottled water.

Daily Multivitamin Causes Cancer

Multivitamin to increase resistance

Persons who take a daily multivitamin tablet together with their food were 20% more likely to develop breast cancer. That's what Swedish researchers say at least.

Many elder women swallow a vitamin pill daily to improve their bones and to increase their resistance. But now research shows that such groups have up to 20% greater risk of getting breast cancer. Yet the professors add that it is not so much due to the multi-vitamin tablets, but rather the unhealthy lifestyle of the women that does increase the risk for breast cancer.

Eating unhealthy

"Women take multivitamin tablets because they fear that they are eating unhealthy and therefor destroy their resistance. A multivitamin would suddenly solve everything," said the scientists. "Our research also shows that these tablets would extend the breast tissue. This may in the long run also lead to an increased risk, the researchers decided.

The green leaf and underwear were sometimes left behind under the bright spring sunshine. "Once out of sight of the police, some participants were indeed completely out of their clothes, to the delight of the audience," said a spokesman for Aer Lingus.
