Food, Sex, and Attractiveness
Part 1: The Role of Body Weight

Attractiveness is a quality that arouses interest and pleasure. People are drawn to each other by clues indicating good health rather than superficial qualities, such as the shape of a nose or the size of a cleft in the chin. The ideal picture of good health intimates fertility, productivity, strength, and youth. A person's healthfulness is communicated to others, most importantly by sight and scent, and the health messages we send are dependent on the food choices we make.

The Benefits of Flu Shots Oversold

Influenza vaccination: a summary of Cochrane Reviews from the February 2015 European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases:

"The Cochrane Library was systematically searched for meta-analyses regarding influenza vaccination of various populations, both healthy and sick. An effect in reducing the number of cases of influenza, influenza-like illness or complications to influenza was found in some studies, but, generally, the quality of the studies was low, and several studies lacked hard clinical endpoints. Data on adverse effects were scarce. More randomised controlled trials investigating the effects of influenza vaccination are warranted."
