AHH! This is so scary!

A study from the Harvard School of Public Health suggests that red meat is behind one in ten early deaths!

After observing more than 120,000 people over the course of 28 years, researchers found regularly eating red meat significantly increases your risk of

Have U been watching all the Linsanity unfold this year as Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin continues to rise as a top competitor in the NBA?

Well, now you can taste it too! If you live near Harvard, at least.

Ben & Jerry's has honored the player with his own flavor of frozen yogort called Taste The Lin-Sanity! The Vermont-based company has only released the new concoction at its at Harvard Square location because Jeremy is a graduate of the prestigious university.

According to a spokesperson, the limited time promotion will run through the school's basketball season and also raise money for a to-be-determined Cambridge nonprofit.

It's a pretty big deal to have your own ice cream flavor and should be taken as a sign that Jeremy has truly made it. Other celebs who have influenced the ice cream makers to create a unique flavor include Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Alec Baldwin's Schweddy Balls character on Saturday Night Live.

The frozen yogurt, which blends vanilla with lychee honey swirls and a fresh waffle cookie on the side, caused some controversy too.

Originally, the company included pieces of fortune cookie in the their new flavor, which we can only assume was a nod to Lin's Asian heritage. Some people took offense to the cookie's inclusion, as Ben & Jerry's general manager for Boston and Cambridge explained:

"There seemed to be a bit of an initial backlash about it, but we obviously weren't looking to offend anybody and the majority of the feedback about it has been positive."

Everyone in the Harvard area can now relax and Taste The Lin-Sanity without feeling like they are supporting any damaging stereotypes because the flavor is now fortune cookie free!

As for the rest of us around the country, we'll just have to settle for tasting the company's new Greek frozen yogurt instead.

Our society loves caffeine. And apparently, the quicker we can get it, the better.

What we first found in coffee and tea, has now been transplanted to a variety of beverages and even pills. Since swallowing takes up way too much of our time, a company has decided to take the next logical step and produce inhalable caffeine!

That's right. Asthma sufferers will no longer be the only people taking deep puffs from a metered-dose inhaler in public because AeroShot has hit the market.

The new product, which became available in New York and Massachusetts last month, contains B vitamins and 100 milligrams of caffeine powder per lipstick-sized container. Harvard biomedical engineering professor David Edwards, the inventor of this caffeine dispenser, says it is completely safe and since it is sold as a dietary supplement, the FDA didn't need to verify his claims.

New York Sen. Charles Schumer, however, wants to make sure this thing is safe for the world to inhale, especially kids, saying:

“I am worried about how a product like this impacts kids and teens, who are particularly vulnerable to overusing a product that allows one to take hit after hit after hit, in rapid succession.”

We'll be getting an official ruling soon because FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg has agreed to evaluate the AeroShot to determine if it's safe for consumption and if it can legally be sold as a dietary supplement.

Has any one out there tried this thing yet? Let us know if it works and if U think it is safe to use!

For the record, the company behind the AeroShot does not recommend anybody under 18 using it. That's probably a good idea because we can totally see 15-year-old boys daring their friends to do 30 hits of this stuff in a row.

But of course! These kids aren't just smartypants — they also have a few screws loose!

Yesterdary, Claire Danes was honored in Cambridge, MA with a parade through town and a fairly odd awards ceremony held by the Harvard Hasty Pudding Theatricals. As their Woman of the Year, she was treated to an escorted ride through the campus with two of the most decked out drag queens we've ever seen, and a roast where the crew had Claire complete "classes" to FINALLY earn her college degree! (She dropped out of Yale, a "community college" to Harvard's standards.)

When all the fun was done — and as you can see, Claire totally played along — Claire graciously accepted her Pudding Pot, calling the whole experience "wackadoodle," "utterly trippy," and one that "will remain forever emblazoned in my mind."

Yeah, we think that is the idea. Now your Emmy, SAG and three Golden Globes have someone new to talk to on the mantle! LOL!

Congrats, girl!

To date, our favorite year was when they picked Justin Timberlake for this honor and were relentless with the Britney Spears jokes. Now, we think he might be trumped if those Hasty Pudding kids can manage to get Kermit and Miss Piggy in on the festivities!
