HEALTH: Grow A Beard!
BEARDS KEEP YOU YOUNG, HEALTHY, AND HANDSOME
According to a new Australian study, beards keep you young, healthy, and handsome.
Researchers found that beards block 90 to 95 percent of UV rays, which slow down the aging process and reduce the risk of skin cancer.
Beards also reduce the effects of asthma because pollens and dust get stuck in beard – and stay out of the lungs.
Facial hair also retains moisture and protects against the wind, keeping you looking young and fresh-faced.
Beyond that, shaving is usually the cause of ingrown hairs and bacterial infections that lead to acne. (WorldObserverOnline.com)
If she tries to make you shave it off....she doesn't care about your health. Right? -dan
BEATING RIVALS IN COMPETITION BOOSTS TESTOSTERONE
According to a new study, male testosterone levels increase when you beat strangers or rivals in sports. But, unfortunately, you don’t get the same boost when you beat your friends.
But even though you don’t feel a surge of testosterone when you crush your buddies in games, you do get bragging rights – and nobody can take that away from you. (ScienceDaily.com)
UNMARRIED MEN WITHOUT DEGREES AT HIGHER RISK OF SUICIDE
According to a new study, unmarried men without college degrees are at a higher risk of suicide.
Researchers also found guys living in western states, guys who are unemployed, and guys who don’t go to church are more likely to kill themselves.
It seems guys are more likely to thrive and survive when they have a job, a wife, and some community connection. (OregonLive.com)
Say what? I would have thought the opposite! Really! -dan
BATTLE OF THE BULGE: Fish Oil Slows Down Effects of Junk Food on the Brain
Junk foods that are high in refined sugars and saturated fats cause all sorts of problems in your brain. These sugary, fatty foods slow down the production of brain cells, which impacts your memory and learning ability – and could lead to Alzheimer’s.
Junk food also messes with the parts of your brain that control food intake and regulate your weight. So eating junk leads to – you guessed it – eating more junk.
But a new study has shown that fish oil can slow down those effects.
So next time you want to inhale an entire package of Oreos, consider popping a fish oil pill first. (NY Daily News)
FITNESS PROTECTS YOU FROM CANCER – EVEN 20 YEARS LATER
According to a new study, staying in shape can protect you from cancer – even 20 or more years down the road.
Researchers found that guys who were the most physically fit in middle age were the least likely to die 20 years later, even if they were unlucky enough to get cancer. (NBC News)

STP: Chester Bennington Is The New Singer!
Stone Temple Pilots made a surprise appearance at KROQ's 21st Annual Weenie Roast Saturday night at in Irvine, California, with a new lead singer, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington.
Neither the band, nor Bennington, was introduced. Instead, they tore into "Vasoline" to begin an eight-song set that also included "Big Bang Baby," "Sex Type Thing," and "Interstate Love Song."
Mid-set, STP debuted "Out of Time," their first single with Bennington on vocals. They've posted a video teaser of the song, along with a link to download the full track, on their Facebook page and official website.
In the announcement noting Bennington's arrival, STP guitarist Dean DeLeo said: "Chester has a one-of-a-kind voice that we've admired for a long time. We know Linkin Park will always be his priority, but we thought it would be cool to try something together. We managed to find the time to record a song and we're all really happy with the result."
Bennington added, "I've loved STP since I was 13 years old and they've had a huge influence on me. When the opportunity came up to do something creative with them, I jumped at the chance. The guys in Linkin Park have been incredibly supportive of me undertaking this project while I've continued to work on new music with LP."
The news may come to a shock to Scott Weiland, the now-former STP frontman who was "terminated" from the band in February, but claimed it couldn't go on without him.
The reconstituted STP was also set to play another radio show Sunday night in San Francisco and May 30th in Los Angeles at the MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit Concert honoring Bennington and skateboard legend Tony Alva.

WEIRD FOODS
CHEERS! Bolivian Brewery Develops Beer with Coca Leaves
A brewery in Bolivia has come up with a way to take your beer buzz to new heights with their new coca beer.
Ch'ama beer, which means "strength" in the local language, is a blend of malt, yeast, hops – and actual coca leaves. You know … the stuff they use to make cocaine.
The brew not only quenches thirst, but also supposedly helps people cope with altitude sickness.
Okay, I'd try this....you know, if I was all altitude sick or something.
BREAST-SELLING ICE CREAM
An ice cream parlor in London started selling breast milk ice cream – and, believe it or not, they can't keep the stuff in stock. The particular flavor, called Baby Gaga, comes from 15 different, um, suppliers, and is infused with vanilla and lemon zest. It sells for around $22 a scoop. (Mom.me)
Nasty. I don't even eat regular ice cream....
NOT THE MCRIB
Now at Burger King, having it your way means having some McDonald’s knockoffs.
The BK menu is getting a summer makeover and that includes introducing their own style of McRib.
This version will include what look like pork cutlets, on an "artisanal bun," while topping it with "sweet and tangy" barbecue sauce and "crispy bread and butter pickles.” (Yahoo)
"Artisinal bun" is my favorite about this...shaped bread = Artisan
And, for you Bacon Fanatics that may have missed these two gems last week....
The “Bacon Weave Taco” is a taco shell made entirely out of bacon – which probably makes Taco Bell and their Doritos Locos Tacos very jealous.
The folks that run DudeFoods.com have posted instructions on how to make the pork-laden shell, which was inspired by their recent "Bacon Weave Quesadilla." It only takes about 30 minutes to make, which seems like a small price to pay for such a great combination of foods.
Oscar Meyer has introduced a new Bacon Dog. The dog isn't totally made out of bacon – the ingredient list includes mechanically separated turkey, chicken, and pork – as well as bacon pieces. Still, you'll apparently get a hefty dose of bacon flavor in this new dog, which Oscar Meyer is rolling out just in time for Memorial Day.
The company has also introduced four less exciting new flavors – a gluten-free chicken-breast hot dog, bigger versions of Smokies smoked sausages, lite hot dogs, and fat-free hot dogs.
