The Kissing Cure: Can the 'Love Hormone' Help Treat Anorexia?

Twenty million women and 10 million men suffer from an eating disorder at some time in their lives, according to the National Eating Disorders organization, but a new study suggests that a hormone released during kissing could help beat anorexia, giving hope to sufferers of a difficult-to-treat illness.

Research published by British and Korean scientists suggests that oxytocin, often referred to as the “love hormone” that plays an important role in intimacy, childbirth, and maternal bonding, reduces the focus anorexic patients have on triggers that cause the disease in the first place.

Given the success of larger trials, the research could save the lives of those with anorexia, for which there is no pharmaceutical treatment.

The Rock Fights Sea Serpent in 'Hercules' Trailer

The first trailer for "Hercules" has landed online after previously getting shown at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shows off his muscled physique as the titular legendary warrior as he is pitted against various beasts including a serpent-like creature with multiple heads.

"No matter how far you go, man cannot escape his fate," the trailer begins with a voiceover. "Who are you? Are you a murderer? Are you a mercenary who turns his back on the innocent?" The voice continues as footage of Hercules being chained to a stone wall is shown, "We believe in you. We have faith in you. Remember the deeds you have performed. The labors you have accomplished. Are you only the legend, or are you the truth behind the legend?"

The movie will follow Hercules' journey as a mercenary. Along with five faithful companions, he travels ancient Greece selling his services for gold and using his legendary reputation to intimidate enemies. Directed by Brett Ratner, it is set to make its way out across the country on July 25. The cast also includes Rufus Sewell, Ian McShane, John Hurt, and Irina Shayk.

The Creepy Way Fathers Across the Country Are Controlling Their Daughters' Virginity

"At this point, you're married to the Lord, and your father is your boyfriend." 

So says Pastor Ron Johnson to his 12-year-old daughter Caroline, before placing a ring on her left finger. Johnson and his family are the subject of a recent Nightline Prime investigation of Purity Balls, a "full-fledged national phenomenon" that has reportedly spread across 48 states and 17 countries. Despite the thought that first popped into my head, these balls are not some ironic term for Ben Wa sex toys, but rather formal father-daughter dances during which young girls pledge to abstain from all sexual activity until marriage (this includes kissing and dating). They also symbolically entrust their fathers — the "high priest" of the home — with their maidenheads for safekeeping.

The special was filmed back in October 2013, when Nightline reporters headed to the 14th annual "Super Bowl of Purity" (only in America, folks) to document the chaste event. As the cameras rolled, 60 father-daughter couples arrived at the Grand Ballroom of Colorado's Broadmoor Hotel to "celebrate the beauty of [their] daughters and the glory of their fathers."

Beyonce & Blue Ivy Are Living Our ‘Dream Vacation’ Pinterest Board

The temperature outside our window is negative where-the-fuuuh-is-spring, so we were totally ‘WHELMED by Beyoncé’s latest Instagram photo, obviously taken from the tropical waters of paradise.

We also spot Blue Ivy’s adorbz little hands and toes peeking out into the left side of the frame, and we’re wondering what her mom is trying to tell her with both index fingers raised towards the sky.

Maybe the “Partition” singer is pointing out that the Knowles-Carters are No. 1 at life? Or, she’s counting
