Here are this morning’s:

* Is patient non-compliance a big part of the health care problem? — three of every four Americans don’t take their drugs as directed — costs the U.S. $290 billion per year (over 11% of our $2.5 trillion health care bill)

* Men’s testosterone increases with female ovulation — men in the current studies smelled t-shirts worn by women near ovulation or far from ovulation — subsequently displayed higher levels of testosterone

* People can taste fat — people with a high sensitivity to the taste of fat tended to eat less fatty foods and were less likely to be overweight — could be key to weight loss

* Interracial marriages have a higher divorce rate — one white person and one person of another race mostly only show higher divorce rates when the white spouse is a female — white husband/black wife were nearly 50% less likely to divorce than white/white couples

* When is wine worth less? — when it’s called “organic” — considered “hippie wine,” it tended to turn to vinegar more quickly than non-organic wine
