However, if you aren’t statistically minded, you probably aren’t calculating the TRUE cost of a pack of cigarettes.  And, according to a new study from the Polytechnic Institute of Cartagena in Spain, the cost is dramatically higher than you may expect… When you account for the VSL (which we will get to later) the true cost of one single pack of cigarettes is…

Results of the study indicated that individuals with chronic insomnia have an elevated risk of death. In fact, people with insomnia have a "hazard ratio" for all types of mortality that is over three times as high as people without insomnia.

How Being Overweight Affects The Brain

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh scanned the brains of 94 people over the age of 70. They were looking to see the differences in the brains of people who were of normal weight (BMI under 25), overweight (BMI 25-30), and obese (BMI over 30).
