“Fibers that cannot be digested by bacteria in the large intestines are called insoluble fibers because they do not dissolve in water.” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006) High fiber diets can produce many benefits, including higher nutrient absorption levels, and better waste output. Diets that tend to lack in fiber or are high in insoluble fiber tend to cause gastrointestinal irritation and constipation. People that experience these symptoms should consider reviewing their fiber sources, and water consumption
An issue within the food industry is safe food handling practices. Kudler Fine Foods sells meat, produce and dairy products that could cause illnesses among the customer’s if these products were to be contaminated or stored improperly. Meats are suppose to be kept separate, surfaces where the meat is handled need to be cleaned and disinfected before switching meats to prevent cross contamination. Many of these products need to be stored at a certain temperature and packaged appropriately. This is an ethical issue simply because cross contamination and improper storage could cause people to get sick.
One of the greatest advantages of nuclear power is that it avoids the wide variety of environmental problems arising from burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil. Currently 78% of Australia’s electricity comes from burning coal. Nuclear energy does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect. Thus ‘global
Bacteria will not multiply in dry areas, but as soon as liquid is added, for instance to dried food like powdered milk and dried eggs, the products will provide ideal conditions for bacteria to multiply. However, if enough salt or sugar have been added to foods such as bacon, savoury biscuits, jam and confectionery, this will absorb the available moisture in the food so the bacteria cannot multiply as easily. It is not only moist foods that provide the right environment for bacteria, though. Moist skin or damp areas of an environment will also provide the right atmosphere for bacterial growth. Nutrients Bacteria, like all living things, need nutrients to survive.
Then Kaku states that force fields can do more than deflecting laser beams because it can levitate objects by the use of magnetic force fields. To support that, he explains that when we place two magnets opposite to each other, the two magnets will repel each other. However he wrote that making force fields and to levitate heavy objects is nearly impossible since we lack advanced technology. For my response, Kaku doesn’t completely explain everything. Suppose that you have a structure on a planet or a spaceship in the middle of nowhere, and suppose you don't want the force field on all the time either because there are times when protection isn't needed.
Assess the effectiveness of safe practices when preparing, cooking and serving food. In a health and social care setting such as a nursery, it is extremely important to follow safe practices for a number of reasons. When preparing food, it is important to follow safe practices as if the person/people responsible for caring for the children do not follow these practices efficiently, it will increase the risk of food becoming contaminated. This is because not preparing the food correctly can cause bacteria to start building up and multiplying, therefore causing it to become contaminated and this will then lead to a possible outbreak of food poisoning amongst both the staff and children who eat the food. When cooking food, it is extremely important to follow safe practices such as getting the pot or pan at a high enough temperature that will kill off bacteria because if the pan is not hot enough, this could possibly provide the bacteria with an opportunity to grow and multiply which will could cause an outbreak of food poisoning, for example, E.Coli.
What is the benefit of the modification? Because the GM tomatoes can remain fresh longer they have time to ripen in the sun before picking, resulting in a better tasting tomato! 4. Three advantages of genetically modified foods Longer lasting foods can be more easily transported, Having extra vitamins in food help poor people from becoming malnourished or going blind, and the insecticides inside some genetically modified plants keep farmers from having to spray the whole place down with toxic wastes, and they also 5. A counter argument to one of the disadvantages of genetically modified food Some antibiotics can be transferred to humans and make it harder for us to fight infections, genetically modifying foods could potentially put farmers out of work, and some important insects could be at risk because of the insecticides in foods.
For example, Pollan talks about margarine, and how scientists “claim” that it is a better, and cheaper substitute for butter, but it contains all these unnecessary ingredients that could be more harmful to the human body. Scientist believed by taking out saturated fats and cholesterol they could make margarine healthier, but what they did not know was it would produce unhealthier fats known as, trans fats. People never think about how deep and revealing food can be, but after reading this novel it’ll open your eyes to what really lies
Like Pollan pointed out in one of his chapters, fast-food is bad for our health and for us in general. The food pyramid might sound healthy since there are commercials and doctors that follow the food pyramid but
This kind of diet is pretty famous in society because of its advantages: , in other ways blood type diet are (disadvantage). According to Dr. Peter D’adamo, author of Eat Right For Your Type, a chemical reaction occurs between our blood and the foods we eat. The reaction is part of our genetic inheritance. The reaction is caused by a factor called lectins. ( D’adamo, 1997) Lectins are a type of protein that can bind to cell membranes, abundant and diverse protein found in foods, have agglutinating properties that affect our blood.
