An amended complaint filed yesterday says sales reps were paid less but not promoted as often as men in similar jobs, while women in consumer care were sexually harassed by execs but the drugmaker ignored the problem. Such charges have emerged in many workplaces, but recently allegations of sex discr...

On the menu? Eggs benedict, for those who felt betrayed by the hype. Glazed donuts for those who really didn’t see it coming. A Forgiveness Frittata for anyone needing to absolve themselves or others. And, yes, you are allowed to groan when you hear this, but the drink of the day would be: Orange Juice glad the world didn’t end? If you are reading this the end of the world hasn’t taken place.  Of cour...

Intimacy takes on new definitions, as we use technology to not only keep in touch and connected with one another, but for sexting and other talk that has, in the past, been reserved for face-to-face time. You may not be doing it, but I bet dimes to donuts someone you know is. Which is a very good reason to have a blog about sex, intimacy and technology here at Psych Central. I’m pleased to introduce Sex and Intimacy in the Digital Age, a blog about sexual addiction and problems, adultery and cheating in the digital age of the Internet, smartphones, and always being connected. A day doesn’t go by where we don’t hear how the Internet and other di...

Since I work from our home office and I’m also the primary caregiver for BSparl, sleep is a hot commodity.  Actually, I don’t get to sleep much, so the coffee is very much my friend these days.  Work hard, play hard, drink much of the coffee. The other day, I was out with the baby, running a few errands.  I had to visit the post office, the grocery store, CVS … and Dunkin Donuts.  I try to make my order sound fresh and new (versus something I say almost without thinking), and I leaned out the window to order into the drive through speaker.  (Instead o...

Nurses ranked first and doctors second when asked if they needed coffee to get through their day. The rest of the coffee-fueled careers were a mixed bag of white collar and blue collar positions. Among other findings: – 48 percent of those in the Northeast said they were less productive without coffee, compared to 34 percent of Midwesterners. – 40 percent of those aged 18 to 24 said they can’t concentrate as well without coffee. – 37 percent said they drink two or more cups a day. NOTE: The study was funded by CareerBuilder and Dunkin’ Donuts. *This blog post was originally published at ACP Internist* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4045096 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 12:00:00 +0100 4045096 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3695533&cid=t_195508_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fsex-or-food-top-12-worst-muffins-in-the-world%2F photo: Thinkstock While browsing Care2 today, we saw a headline that was truly vomit-inducing: “Is Your Muffin Naughty?” As we recovered from the title’s yuck-factor, we clicked through – curious, if nothing else. Turns out, it’s not a sex thing; it’s a list of the worst breakfast muffins you could possibly eat. Ever. We all know muffins aren’t great for us health-wise, but if we grab a reduced-fat one on the go, that’s fine – right? Check out the (scary) list below and decide for yourself. Congratulations to all the winners. 12. Tim Horton’s Whole Grain Raspberry Muffin Calories: 400 Calories from Fat: 160 Total Fat: 17 g Sodium: 580 mg Sugar: 26 g 11.

You’ve got trillions of microbial bacteria just hanging out inside of you. Well, not exactly hanging out. They’re working pretty hard, influencing whether we make or burn fat, and how many calories we take from our food. According to the Los Angeles Times, researchers have realized that there are links between gut bacteria and weight metabolism in mice. Though there are links among humans as well, scientists aren’t as certain about the intricacies. We bet that once researchers nail down the exact science between gut bacteria and weight loss in people, we’ll be seeing even more commercials for yogurts that taste just like cream-filled chocolate donuts – and supposedly help yo...

The researchers evaluated sugar metabolism in 23 men before and after a three-month exercise program. Before and during the exercise program, the men were given caffeine or a placebo. The subjects included 8 sedentary lean men, 7 obese men with type 2 diabetes, and 8 obese men without diabetes. Before the exercise program, caffeine reduced insulin sensitivity by 33% in the lean and obese men and 37% in the obese men with diabetes compared to placebo. After the exercise program, insulin sensitivity fell 23% after caffeine intake in the lean men, 26% in the obese men, and 36% in the obese diabetic men. Comparison of the two stud...
