HUGE NEWS:

"10 years after vaccination was introduced, we detected no HPV16/18 infections in 16-18 yearolds (0% of n=584)"

HPV 16/18 cause ~70% of cervical cancer

That's an ~amazing~ result

Could taxes and labels reduce sugar intake?
Researchers at the @UWaterloo found that when prices increased due to taxes, or packages displayed nutrition information, people bought products with less sugar, sodium, saturated fat, and calories.

As human beings, all 7 billion of us are born the same way and die the same way. Physically, mentally and emotionally we are the same. We all want to live a happy life and avoid problems, but in a materialistic culture we overlook the importance of love and affection.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Time’s always moving on. Nothing can stop it. The question is whether we use our time well or not. We can't do anything about the past, but what happens in the future depends on what we do now. We can create a happier future by remembering that in being human we are all the same.

I believe that if we make an effort to develop peace of mind within ourselves and cultivate a proper appreciation of the oneness of humanity, we can create a happier, more peaceful world. What we need is common sense—the positive use of intelligence—and warm-heartedness.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The very purpose of spirituality is self-discipline. Rather than criticizing others, we should evaluate and criticize ourselves. Ask yourself, what am I doing about my anger, my attachment, my pride, my jealousy? These are the things we should check in our day to day lives.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Scientists warn that constant fear and anger are bad for our health, while being compassionate and warm-hearted contributes to our physical and mental well-being. Therefore, just as we observe physical hygiene to stay well, we need to cultivate a kind of emotional hygiene too.
