Kiss Off

Remember when great-grandma would "kiss it and make it better"?

Turns out she was on to something: Human saliva contains a painkiller up to six times more powerful than morphine that may also be an anti-depressant.

I feel better already!

You guys are researchers extraordinaire! The article makes me think kissing the girls boo-boos isn't so much for building up broken spirits as it actually provides relief. Cool, huh? But, what I'm amazed at more is great-grandmothers' ability to find these great articles to post!
