German health officials made the announcement after recent test by the German authorities of North Rhine-Westphalia on samples from the trash can of an infected family came positive.

Authorities have confirmed that the source of the deadliest E. coli outbreak came from bean sprouts produced in an organic farm in northern Germany.

The study, published online in the journal ‘Age And Ageing,’ found that those who drink moderate amount of alcohol are 30 percent less likely to develop dementia, and 40 percent less likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s than their teetotaler counterparts.

“People should be aware that we are talking about mild/moderate consumption of alcohol," the Daily Mail quoted Professor Siegfried Weyerer as saying.

“There is no doubt that long-term alcohol abuse is detrimental to memory function and can cause neurodegenerative disease.”

Scientists are of the view that the ability to face challenges could be the one reason why women’s salaries tend to lag behind men’s, the Daily Mail reports.

Findings of the new study have come up weeks after a report released stating female managers will not match the salaries of their male colleagues until 2067.

“To be successful in getting more attractive and better-paid jobs in the modern economy, it is important to face up to the challenge of competition instead of shying away from it,” the Daily Mail quoted Austrian researchers as saying.
