Now, research published in Nature Communications suggests that knowing that something bad is going to happen is better than not knowing whether it will happen or not.

Findings show that a small possibility of receiving a painful electric shock causes people more stress than knowing for sure that a shock was on the way.
Researchers from University College London (UCL), in the UK, enlisted 45 volunteers to play a computer game, which involved turning over rocks under which snakes might lurk.
The aim was to guess whether or not there would be a snake. Turning over a rock with a snake underneath led to a small electric shock on the hand.

As the participants became more familiar with the game, the chance of a particular rock harboring a snake changed, resulting in fluctuating levels of uncertainty.
Women's risk for heart disease may be increased if they have endometriosis. This is the conclusion of a new study published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
Researchers suggest women with endometriosis - particularly younger women - may be at greater risk for heart disease.
The research was led by Fan Mu, who was a research assistant at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, at the time of study.
Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows on the outside of the reproductive organ or other areas of the body, including the ovaries and the fallopian tubes.

In the US, it is estimated that at least 11% of women - or 6 million - aged 15-44 have endometriosis, with the condition most common among those in their 30s and 40s.
While painful menstrual cramps can be a sign of endometriosis, many girls and women are unaware of this, meaning the condition often goes undiagnosed.
Mu and colleagues set out to investigate whether women with endometriosis are at greater risk for heart disease - the leading cause of death for both men and women in the US.
