Women all over the world have suspected the truth, but now the dirty laundry secret is out – many men DO wear the same pair of underwear more than once in a week.
The Clorox Company recently conducted a survey around the laundry habits of both men and women, and one in eight men came clean to wearing their underpants two to three times before tossing them in the washing machine. Men in the survey also confessed to using a “sniff†test to see if they could get away with wearing other elements of their wardrobe again before washing.
Women, on the other hand, admitted to simply buying MORE underwear to avoid having to wash so often.
Tell Us What You Think
Are you guilty of wearing the same underwear or other garments more than once a week? Do you think there is a downside to the “sniff†test or is it all good? We promise not to tell!
My Comments:
I am totally offended and very upset by this article.  I have no idea what these people are talking about. Seriously…why don’t you believe me.  I cannot remember if I have ever conducted the sniff test on any of my garments. So there you go,  if I can’t remember, then it never happened…right? Check out what Rita said in response to the questions at Web MD link below.

Sure, you drink your orange juice and eat your vegetables (sometimes). But one in 10 men are still vitamin C deficient, according to the Centers for Disease Control. And unexpected new research shows vitamin C may play an important role in proper brain function and health.
A team of Oregon-based researchers found that the retina cells in the back of the eye become overtaxed—and slowly burn out—when denied proper amounts of vitamin C.
My Comments:
Really interesting article from Men’s Health. It touts the value of taking Vitamin C and its benefits for the brain and prevention of glaucoma.

A new study in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin confirms what everyone who went to high school already knows: Attractive, strong guys are more likely to be extroverts.
Good-looking men and women are often rewarded with extra attention from an early age, which causes them to seek more of it as they get older and adapt it into their personalities, researchers explain. Being physically stronger also significantly predicts extroversion in men, says lead study author Aaron Lukaszewski, Ph.D., a post-doctoral scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. Continue reading…

Richer Countries Have Higher Depression Rates:Â Â Study Shows U.S. Has World’s Second Highest Depression Rate
Depression rates around the world vary according to a nation’s affluence, with the highest income countries — including the U.S. — reporting the highest levels of depression, a study shows.
For the study, an international team working with the World Health Organization’s World Mental Health Survey Initiative interviewed nearly 90,000 people in eighteen countries. The researchers assessed their mental health using criteria for major depressive episode (MDE).
The study is published in BMC Medicine.
The World Health Organization estimates that depression affects 121 million people worldwide. In the 10 higher income countries surveyed, an average of nearly 15% of the population had suffered from depression at least once in their lives. By contrast, people living in low to middle income countries reported an 11% likelihood of having had the disease.
At 19.2%, the U.S. had the second highest lifetime rate of depression. Only France, at 21%, had a greater frequency of the disease. Among the high-income countries, Japan, Germany, Italy, and Israel reported the smallest percentages, ranging from under 7% to 10%.

The world can be a beautiful place, full of possibilities and life. You can feel invincible and in control. But it’s not always like that, is it? The world can also be a stressful, upsetting, confidence-crushing place. At times, it seems like even something as clear-cut as weight loss is harder than it really needs to be.
