To gauge the relationship between weight and mortality, the researchers, led by endocrinologist JoAnn Manson, tracked 115,000 nurses from 11 states who were 30 to 55 years old in 1976. For 16 years, the participants provided periodic updates on their weight and health, and the researchers recorded deaths from cancer, heart disease and other causes. The results, published in last week’s New England Journal of Medicine, suggest that excess weight accounted for nearly a third of all cancer deaths and half of those from cardiovascular disease among nonsmoking women....

Since their emergence, crocodilians have survived two mass extinction events: one that took place 66 million years ago following a massive asteroid strike—during which the dinosaurs were wiped out—and another that occurred around 33 million years ago, decimating life in the oceans.

What Is Cross-Linking? When you heat onions or toast bread, the sugar molecules in the foods bond to protein molecules. This bonding, which in cooking is called caramelization, is a result of the sugar molecules attaching to protein molecules. When this happens, a series of reactions occur, called glycation, that result in protein molecules bonding with each other. This cross-linking theory is the idea that chemical changes like this happen in your body and can lead to aging....
