Junk email messages like these, also known as spam, are familiar to anyone with an email account. On average, each email user received 1,300 spam messages last year, and that number is expected to increase to 3,900 by the year 2007.
Junk mail is nothing new. For years, marketing groups have collected consumer information, including addresses and phone numbers, and sold them as lists to interested advertisers. But with junk mail, the high cost of mailing packages to large groups of people kept it down to a manageable level. But with email, anyone With a computer and Internet connection can now send messages around the world for free.
But it’s the people who receive spam who wind up paying. It is estimated that spam costs companies millions of dollars every year due to wasted time, connection costs and lost emails.
A British study of how diet affects the health of new mothers and their babies produced the surprise finding that vegetarian women are more likely to have girls, one of the report’s authors said yesterday.
In what is thought to be the first study of its kind, researchers at Nottingham University in central England found significant differences in the sex of babies born to vegetarian and meat and fish-eating women. They were examining the health conditions in vegetarian and non-vegetarian mothers, looking at things like hemoglobin levels, which show how much iron the mother has in her blood, and birth weights.
Altogether 5,942 pregnant women were involved in the study when they were booked in Nottingham’s City Hospital during 2001. According to the researchers, vegetarian mothers were defined as pregnant women who avoided meat and fish. Nearly five percent were vegetarian among them, a total of more than 250 women.
The birth ratio in Britain is that for every 106 boys born there are 100 girls, that’s pretty constant. In their sample group of vegetarians there were 81.5 boys born for every 100 girls.
To further test their surprise findings, they increased the sample number to what scientists called a "statistically significant" level. The study was extended for a further six months so that the sex of more babies could be looked at. The results, covering around 150 more vegetarian women, were" just about exactly the same".
The study also found that vegetarian mothers were less likely to smoke during pregnancy -- 10 percent did so, compared with 20 percent of meat-eaters.
