The potion that makes 'men just as empathetic as women'.

Not my words, mind. "'Cuddle hormone' makes men more empathetic" reports the BBC. According to a team of German and UK researchers, a nasal spray containing the hormone oxytocin can make men more 'in tune with other people's feelings'. Inhaling the spray 'made men just as empathetic as women'.

The team are optimistic that the 'cuddle-hormone' therapy could prove beneficial for men with behavioural problems, but I suspect that the market for this empathy potion will prove much larger than suggested. Plenty of frustrated women out there...
