Cranberry Juice Won't Get Rid Of Your UTI
In this study, they took the cranberry itself and put it in a capsule -- the equivalence of drinking 16 ounces of cranberry juice," Boone said.

UTIs account for an estimated 8.1 million visits to health care professionals each year and are the second most common type of infection in the body. The majority of those affected are women, who have more than a 50 percent risk of infection over their lifetime, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. The infection can be caused by several different...

How to Strategically Overeat on Thanksgiving Using Science
This article originally appeared on Inverse By Sarah Sloat Food is great and delicious and nom nom nom. What's not great is discomfort. What's also not great is talking to your mother (or anyone else for that matter) about portion control. For a non-extracurricular activity we all start day one, eating remains shockingly difficult for a shocking number of adult humans. Pepto-Bismol exists because we're bad at it and we're bad at it because it's complicated for our brains. Food feedback comes at us from several directions and synthesizing the data is tough, especially when the cranberry sauce is winking from across the...

How to Pass a Urine Drug Test Using Science
This article originally appeared on Inverse. By Yasmin Tayag Drug testing, like heroin, got popular in the late '80s and early '90s. As Reagan's Drug War rushed towards its logical conclusion, employers hustled to create drug-free work environments despite a lack of evidence that there was any advantage in it or that tests actually worked. Now, as the legalization movement gains momentum, tests to screen for marijuana use seem outrageous, but they remain relatively common. Plenty of businesses still require a piss test and plenty of would-be employees still struggle to pass. There are cleanses and adulterants that pro...

Watch How Astronauts Make Thanksgiving Dinner in Space
Attention earthlings: remember to be thankful you’re not eating Thanksgiving dinner in outer space.
As the video above shows, the International Space Station may be the worst possible Thanksgiving destination. The food is dehydrated and then rehydrated with hot water so it turns into a goopy-turkey-mixture that appears to have the texture of cranberry sauce.
But despite the less than appetizing dinner, astronaut Scott Kelly still cracks a smile.
TIME is producing a series of documentary films about Kelly’s yearlong mission in space. Watch the films here. (Source: TIME: Top Science and Health Stories)
