To live the longest and healthiest life possible, get smarter. Institute for Health
Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) data show that past a certain threshold, health and
wealth are just weakly correlated. However, overall health is closely tied to how many
years people spend in school. Mexico, for instance, has a fifth the per capita gross
domestic product (GDP) of the United States, but, for women, more than 50 percent of
the latter’s schooling.
In line with the trend, Mexico’s female adult mortality rate is only narrowly
higher. Vietnam and Yemen have roughly equivalent per capita GDP. Yet Vietnamese
women average 6.3 more years in school and are half as likely to die between the ages
of 15 and 60. “Economic growth is also significantly associated with child mortality
reductions, but the magnitude of the association is much smaller than that of increased
education,” comments Emmanuela Gakidou, IHME’s director of education and training.
“One year of schooling gives you about 10 percent lower mortality rates, whereas with
a 10 percent increase in GDP, your mortality rate would go down only by 1 to 2
percent.”

 Our bodies produce a small steady amount of natural morphine, a new study
suggests. Traces of the chemical are often found in mouse and human urine, leading
scientists to wonder whether the drug is being made naturally or being delivered by
something the subjects consumed. The new research shows that mice produce the
“incredible painkiller” – and that humans and other mammals possess the same
chemical road map for making it, said study co-author Meinhart Zenk, who studies
plant-based pharmaceuticals at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis,
Missouri.

revolving doors and had to be helped free by the staff. They had been on their way to
rob the Royal Bank of Scotland. They thanked everyone for their help and left. A few
minutes later they returned and announced their intention of robbing the bank but
nobody believed them. First they demanded $5,000 but the head cashier only laughed
at them, thinking it was a joke. The gang leader reduced his demand to $500, then to
