This Week at Psychology Today: One Country's Porn is Another's Pablum
Think of it as "Debbie Does Dallas" meets "I'm OK, You're OK." Ok, if that doesn't work for you, answer this question: Of Norway, the United States, and Japan, which country do you think shows more girls who wanna have fun (and get to)? The answer is in my "The Bejeezus Out of Me" column at Psychology Today.

Hi Rebecca - I was hoping you might be able to help me. In an article you wrote for Discover Magazine you say, "At least he had an excuse. The scientists who discovered sucralose (now sold as Splenda) were originally trying to create an insecticide. An assistant thought he had been instructed to 'taste' a compound he’d only been asked to 'test.'"
ReplyDeleteI posted this info on my Facebook wall after reading it in the book, "Primal Body, Primal MInd" and many were asking for the source. I'd really appreciate it if you could give me the source for that info. Thanks!
I'm no longer sure what my authoritative source was, but I did find some old notes for that article. It seems I may have first found out about the test/taste story at http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/549sweet.html
