Divorce and unemployment threaten long term happiness
Michigan State University psychologist Richard Lucas reports that marriage boosts happiness for about two years but then fades to single levels, while divorce or job loss can cause lasting declines. Remarriage helps divorced individuals regain happiness, but unemployment damage persists even after new work. The study, in Current Directions in Psychological Science, challenges the view that marriage consistently yields lasting happiness.

Beta carotene pills do not prevent macular degeneration loss
A study of over 21,000 male doctors over 12 years found beta carotene alone did not reduce age related macular degeneration cases. In 12 years 162 on beta carotene and 170 on placebo developed the condition, a difference not statistically significant. Researchers caution results may not apply to women and do not address carrots.
