The stars were OUT for The Race To Erase MS, and it was quite an event!!

We're talkin' Rod Stewart, Sara Gilbert, La Toya Jackson, Mel B, Lisa Vanderpump, Camille Grammer, Kristin Cavallari, and more!

They were all out in support of Sharon Osbourne, Jack Osbourne (who was diagnosed with MS very recently), and The Race To Erase MS in their fight against MS on a global scale!

Oh, and Elton John totally performed!! A-MAZING!

You know what? When it comes to the fight against MS, Sharon really hits it on the head: information is power! You have to study and read as much as you can and then figure out how you can fight back against a diagnosis! Never take no for an answer!

We're so inspired by all of this! We hope the cause keeps progressing like it has!!

Raise your hand if you'd like a cure for HIV!

ALL OF YOU better be raising your hands! The disease has killed 25+ million people since 1981, and that is just plain unacceptable!

Apparently researchers at Denmark's Aarhus University Hospital believe they are "within months" of a breakthrough that could lead to an affordable cure

Science is one crazy mofo!

We're not talking about new cell phone tech or a pill that will keep you rock hard for hours, we're talking about a prosthetic limb that runs on thoughts and can have all the flair and grace playing a piano as your talent will allow! LOLz!

This new limb — an arm and a hand — is really freaking good at recreating virtually every movement of a natural arm, and it's all controlled by brain power!

Here's what Matheney says, the amputee testing the product:

Gone are the days of quickly popping in a piece of gum to hide whatever illegal thing you were doing from cops, because science just found a way to breathalyze that shizz! LOLz!

The good news is that the new technology is a super computer that isn't portable and costs a half a million dollars to build, right? WRONG, the scientists in Stockholm used a cheap, commercially available monitor called the SensAbues. Your driving under ANY influence days are numbered!

This new technique forgoes having to take blood and all of that, and only needs you to breathe. It detects not just weed, cocaine and amphetamine, but also prescription drugs such as diazepam and the painkiller buprenorphine! The roads already feel safer!

How does it work?

Have you been lied to?? Find out here! The TRUTH exists! LOLz!!

1) High protein diets damage the kidney

- In healthy individuals, there is no evidence of this whatsoever. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academies of Science verifies this. Ironically, the opposite (low protein diets) have been shown to reduce optimal kidney functioning. Individuals with renal or kidney failure however, should stray from high protein diets.

2) Dietary cholesterol will increase blood cholesterol levels

- There is mounting evidence that suggests that saturated fat influences blood cholesterol more than dietary cholesterol. Hence, eggs aren’t as bad for you as we once thought.

3) Heating protein will reduce its quality

- Whether you cook it, microwave it, heat it on the stove – it doesn’t matter which method you use, you aren’t losing amino acids. Heating it will denature the amino acids into peptides, but your stomach does that anyway (or will) when you eat protein through the use of digestive enzymes and gastric juices like hydrochloric acid, so no worries.

The jury's still out, but according to a new study, smoking weed while you're young might increase your risk of having a stroke.

Obvs, that's not ideal for people who are just looking to kick back and relax with a giant blunt! LOLz!

Like we said, though — this is preliminary research.

They took 160 stroke sufferers and took a look at their pee. They were all between 18 and 55, and found that

A new study found that vegetarians have a 32% lower chance of getting heart disease than people who eat meat.

Researchers followed an astounding 44,500 volunteers for a ridiculous 11 years!!

They found that the vegetarians had a much lower incidence of heart issues.
