Scientists say that there are good and bad kinds of body fat. They have always thought that the good fat was what kept babies warm, and was mostly gone by the time we grew up. I guess they mean baby fat, but I'm not sure. Since then they have done a few studies which proved that adults actually still have this good fat in them still, and could use it to lose weight. Now the scientists want to find a way to put this into a pill.
Public Fluoridation is Public Indecency The addition of Fluoride to the public’s toothpaste, dental hygiene products, and even their drinking water, has been around since the 1940’s. The way it has been marketed to the public is that it will increase tooth strength, prevent tooth decay, and promote healthy dental hygiene. The actual fact however, is that Fluoride is an active ingredient in rat poison. But why is majority of the American public not aware of this simple fact? Fluoride’s been sold to the public as a miracle breakthrough in dental maintenance, it has jaw dropping side effects when consumed and has been added to our drinking water by the United States government.
While the public has formed negative stereotypes due to misunderstanding methadone, methadone maintenance is the most effective form of substance abuse treatment for heroin and pain pill addiction. Methadone is a man made synthetic drug that is used to treat narcotic addicts in preventing withdraw and dependence of opiates. During World War II, German scientists invented Methadone due to the shortage of morphine. Methadone was first used in the United States for drug treatment in the 1960’s. “Two New York physicians, Vincent Dole, a metabolic specialist, and his colleague, Marie Nyswander, a psychiatrist, invented methadone maintenance.” (Velten, 1992) Methadone clinics are available in every state and the medication can be prescribed orally, as a tablet, or can be injected.
The organism ‘opium poppy’ and its usefulness to medication Opium is used for a very wide variety of things. The basic uses of opium are for pharmaceutical medication, used as medicine called morphine by many hospitals around the world as an effective pain killer to reduce suffering just before death. However, the opium poppy can be used in other industries which are illegal in the majority of democratic countries the use of the poppy for the production of heroin is extremely common. It –the opium poppy used of medication- was first discovered by a German chemist in 1804. Many used to call the opium poppy as a joy plant in 3000BC.
Research is inconclusive about whether artificial sweeteners, which can be hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, encourage a sweet tooth. The use of artificial sweeteners is the highest common denominator for women who gain weight. (Condor pg.3) Studies of aspartame's safety are based on little hard evidence. Since its approval aspartame has slowly but surely invaded the United State's food supply. In 1996 it was approved for use in all foods, from soft drinks to chewing gum, and yogurts and frozen desserts.
The first vaccinations started in the 18th century by Edward Jenner, he had heard that people that had cowpox, which was not to serious for humans, were immune to smallpox. So Jenner took pus from cowpox sore and inoculated a boy, six weeks later he took smallpox pus and inoculated the boy again, and the boy did not get smallpox (4). Later Louis Pasteur using this same technique developed a rabies vaccine, and by the nineteenth century vaccines were considered a matter of national prestige, and compulsory laws were passed. Even though some people think vaccinations are not safe, this is nothing new. Opposition to vaccines has existed since the earliest vaccination campaigns.
Abstract In the US today many Americans consume snack bars or meal replacement bars. Major concerns about these bars are many of them do not have optimal nutrition benefits. In comparison to these bars that are produced by major manufacturers the fiber snack bars that were produced in this experiment aimed to increase fiber and provided better sensory acceptability and overall acceptance. The purpose of this experiment was to use natural ingredients and provide the benefit of a good source of fiber, as well as being gluten free. Introduction With most consumers trying to be more health conscious about their food choices, all natural products are beginning to be found more commonly in grocery stores.
Most people prefer to use this to detoxify their bodies or lose weight. Although it may sound clean and healthy, but the cynicism happens when an individual is living off solely with juice without whole foods. There are people who are resentful on the idea that these juices are really dangerous nonsense. Others do it for the sake of terms like “purify” and “cleanse.” A few believe
However, the pill went on to cause more than 10,000 babies to be born with birth defects (Science). Thousands of babies had deformities because tests on hamsters and rats showed the pill to be effective. Additionally, “Animal tests on the arthritis drug Vioxx showed that it had a protective effect on the hearts of mice, yet the drug went on to cause more than 25,000 heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths before being pulled from the market” (Vioxx). Animal testing is extremely misleading in the medical field. Scientists attempt to link the results of testing drugs on animals to its effectiveness on humans.
He discovered chloroform during an experiment with his friends, where he learnt that it could be used to put someone to sleep. Simpson first used chloroform to ease pain during childbirth. However, the dosage had to be perfect, as too much would have killed the patient, but too little would not have put the patient to sleep. Unfortunately, ‘ether’ was still being used up
