Cholesterol, the good, the bad and the ugly! Miranda Parker Kaplan University Abstract Trans fat is double trouble for your health. Trans fat raises your LDL (low density lipoprotein) “bad” Cholesterol and lowers your HDL (high density lipoprotein) “good: cholesterol. Trans fat is considered by many doctors to be the worst type of fat you can eat. A high LDL cholesterol level in combination with a low HDL cholesterol level increases your risk of heart disease, the leading killer of men and women.
Milk also goes through a process called pasteurization, its intentions are to kill the bad bacteria, but it also strips away enzymes and nutrients that help digest the milk. Thus, the product is considered as empty calories and has no nutritional value (Cleary; DelAmor). Furthermore, milk contains lactose, a type of sugar. Our bodies are not able to digest this kind of sugar, as a result, we produce mucous as a reaction towards the milk. Producing too much mucous causes clogging in your digestive and respiratory tract as well as inflammation (Cleary; DelAmor).
(Burn Fat Formula, 2014) A fatty acid chain is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond. Trans fatty acids are manufactured fats created during a process called hydrogenation may be particularly dangerous for the heart and may pose a risk for certain cancers (Burn Fat Formula, 2014). Hydrogenate fats are produced when hydrogen is added to oil, which turns the liquid oil into a solid block of fat. Hydrogenate fats are the worst fats it is contained in foods like cookies and crackers. Some diseases that are caused from fats are heart disease, overweight, diabetes, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and sleep apnea.
Secondly, there is excessive disposal, mainly caused by the geology, making many sites suitable for landfill. Landfill sites also produce gases including carbon dioxide and methane which contribute to global warming, making it very unsustainable. Toxic leachate may occur, which will inevitably harm animals and water courses. Although this is very unsustainable, the waste can be incinerated to produce energy (leading to less stress on other resources, therefore more sustainable), but there is concern on whether this acts as a carcinogen which can lead to the formation of cancerous tissues, still making it
Some mining involves the inadvertent dispersal of heavy metals, such as lead, into the atmosphere. This can have serious health effects 4. What can be done to prevent mine drainage from damaging the ecosystem? Utilize at least one scholarly resource to support your suggestions. Answer = According to World Coal, there are mining
I have learned that the use of toxic chemicals during the fracking process and the occurring release of toxic chemicals and radioactive materials during well processing is bad for the environment. Such as, Naphthalene, Xylene, Toluene, Methylbenzene, and Formaldehyde, are all known or suspected to be human carcinogens (Schmidt). Also Hydraulic fracking hurts the environment by the contaminating the water wells, and springs, in which many humans and animals drink from. Another environment impact of hydraulic fracturing is air pollutions. Finally the way fracking impacted animal and human health.
Each of these compounds is known to be poisonous, cancerous, or cause birth defects. The EPA fears that the drinking water will compromised due to runoff of the surface water discharge. Additionally, contamination of underground sources of drinking water and inadequate treatment of the waste water are possible. The threat of contaminated water supplies can cause a fearful population, largely due to the propaganda spread by anti-fracking initiatives. Although there are potential economical disadvantages to fracking, there are also enormous positives.
Both sexes died two to three times earlier than the standard controlled rats (Mercola). These negative effects were caused by a combination of the over expression of the transplanted gene in the GMO, and the endocrine-disrupting effects of Roundup (Mercola). The endocrine system consists of glands that are responsible for secreting hormones into the bloodstream. Taking a look at the fact that massive tumors developed in female rats’ mammary glands links breast cancer to the consumption of GM foods. I think that people have a right to know if what they are eating has been genetically altered, and grown in pesticide drenched
Benzene has been known to be a carcinogen, while the rest of the chemicals are unknown what long term damage it could cause. Another danger of fracking are spills. Spills occur during the adding of the fluids as well as during the results of the flow back. Drill operators will eventually have spills throughout this process. Hoses can be undone, gaskets can fail, pits leak and liquids always hit the ground, repeatedly in large quantities.
It impairs the breathing after birth, and increases the likeliness of prematurity. Smoking effects the growth of the baby and the brain development in many ways. Nicotine narrows the uterine blood vessels, thus reducing blood flow to the baby. Smoking also puts the oxygen blocker carbon monoxide into the blood that nourishes the baby. Levels of carbon monoxide have been measured at six to seven times
