If you weren’t vegetarian before, perhaps it’s time to make the switch. Scientists in Japan have now created a way to synthesize “beef steaks” from human feces.

A blood test that should be available in Europe by the end of the year could give you a pretty good indication of how fast you are aging and how much longer you will live. The test measures telomeres, structures on the end of each of your chromosomes, which scientists think may hold the key to determining a person's "true age."
