A
new study shows that over a 10-year period, women packed on
significantly more pounds than men. Brigham Young University
scientists tracked nearly 1,400 American adults for a decade. More
than half saw their body weight increase by at least 5%, while over a
third gained 10 % or more body weight. Women gained an average of
about 12 pounds (5.4kg), while men gained an average of about 6
pounds (2.7kg) during the same time frame. Going by age, young adults
were likely to put on the most weight, averaging a 17.6 pound (8kg)
increase between ages 20 and 30.

Tom Cruise has earned the biggest box office achievement of his 4-decade career, thanks to “Top Gun: Maverick” — a $1 billion grossing film. The movie’s global box office takings now total $1.006bn (£813m) after 31 days of release. Industry estimates say the movie crossed $1 billion worldwide on Sunday after it grossed $30.5 million domestic and $44.5 million in overseas markets. That brings its estimated total to $521 million domestic and $484 million international, putting it just past $1 billion globally. In doing so, it also passes “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” as the highest grossing film of the year.
SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com
Over 380 million tons of plastic is produced each year, according to recent figures. Approximately 35.7 million tons is used by the U.S. alone, most of which consists of plastic bags. The majority of plastic bags are used for approximately 12 minutes and it takes at least 500 years for one to degrade in a landfill. In addition to plastic, cotton also has a large ecological footprint as 4% of all world pesticides are used in its cultivation. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology hoping to combat both issues have developed an ingenious solution to turn plastic bags, wraps and other supermarket waste into textiles.
Sportswear, shoes, army uniforms and perhaps even spacesuits can be formed from fabric created out of plastic bags, scientists say. The eco-friendly, recycling textile could revolutionize fashion as it resists dirt and can be washed on a cold cycle in just 10 minutes. The team of engineers found a way to spin polyethylene into fibers and yarn first made from spaghetti strings and weaved in a way that would allow it to absorb water and sweat. The researchers modeled the yarn by testing the wicking ability over cotton, nylon and polyester by dipping strips in water and measuring the time it took for the liquid to climb up each strip. The plastic yarn wicked away and evaporated the water faster than other common textiles.
