'Comments on Facebook alcohol ads encourage youngsters to drink'
Alcohol advertisements on social media sites such as Facebook can encourage young adults to drink, especially if such content is followed by positive comments from users, a study has found. Social media users who view alcohol ads are also more likely to "Like" or "Share" an ad when it has pro-drinking comments, according to the study published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. "There is more information on social media than just a post or a message. We are exposed to how other users respond to a post, and it is those responses that can influence your desire to drink," said Jonathan Noel, from University of Connecticut in the US. "Our findings suggest that comments left by other social media users may either reinforce or negate the message from a post," said Noel. With hundreds of corporate-sponsored alcohol ads on social media sites, plus millions of views of alcohol ads on YouTube, alcohol companies have expanded platforms to reach young consumers. The study suggests ...

Human lifespan continuing to increase: Study
The human lifespan is increasing by approximately three years every generation -- a trend likely to continue, a Stanford study has found. Researchers analysed life expectancy data from the past 50 years and found that people who survive to age 65 are continuing to live longer than their parents. Previous research has suggested that humans were approaching the limit to their longevity. "The data shows that we can expect longer lives and there's no sign of a slowdown in this trend," said Shripad Tuljapurkar, a professor at Stanford University in the US. "There's not a limit to life that we can see, so what we can say for sure is that it's not close enough that we can see the effect," he said. The study, published in the journal PNAS, looked at birth and death data for people above age 65 from 1960-2010. The researchers found that the average age of death in those who live to be older than 65 increased by three years in every 25-year period, which means that people can expect to live ...
