A study of a component in Splenda (sucralose) concluded, “There is no indication that adverse effects on human health would occur from frequent or long-term exposure to sucralose at the maximum anticipated levels of intake”. However, a Duke University study conducted on rats (funded by The Sugar Association) shows that at sucralose consumption throughout a 12-week administration of Splenda exerted numerous adverse effects, which are known to limit the absorption of nutrients and oral medications. These effects have not been the subject of some controversy, with experts disagreeing over its conclusions. 4. Examine the relationship between the sweetener that you have selected and obesity.
Discuss possible barriers that affect the breastfeeding experience for mom and baby. An infant with galactosemia (such infants cannot digest the lactose in milk) • Herpes lesions on a mother’s nipples • Maternal diet is nutrient restricted, preventing quality milk production • Maternal exposure to radioactive compounds (e.g., during thyroid testing) • Breast cancer • Maternal active, untreated tuberculosis, hepatitis B or C, cytomegalovirus, or human immunodeficiency syndrome • Maternal active, untreated varicella. Once the infant has been given varicella zoster immunoglobulin, the infant can receive expressed breast milk if there are no lesions on the breast. Within 5 days of the appearance of the rash, maternal antibodies are produced, and thus breastfeeding could be beneficial in providing passive immunity against varicella (Sadeharju et al., 2007) • Mothers receiving antimetabolites or chemotherapeutic agents • Mothers receiving prescribed medications that would be harmful to an infant such as lithium or methotrexate • A mother lives in an area where environmental contaminants can be carried via breast milk to the infant (AAP Committee on Drugs, 2002) 5. What would you suggest for a woman who wants to breastfeed but has inverted

She visited her doctor every week after the 36th week until the labor. At each visit, her prenatal care provider checked on her and her growing baby. She did the ultrasound in the 8th week to see the baby’s heart beating. The fetus was seen by the ultrasound examination at the 12 week. Gina confirmed the baby’s gender at the routine ultrasound check provided in the 16th week, which is a baby girl.
• S=“Statins”. Most commonly used class of drugs to lower cholesterol. They decrease the rate of cholesterol production and are generally administered at bedtime since this is when cholesterol is produced in larger amounts. Generally well tolerated. However, can cause myopathy which can lead to rhabdomyolysis.
RESPIRATORY EFFECTS Dexmedetomidine is able to achieve its sedative, hypnotic and analgesic effects without causing any clinically relevant respiratory depression unlike opioids. The changes in ventilation appeared similar to those observed during natural sleep. Dexmedetomidine do not cause any changes in arterial oxygenation, pH and respiratory rate. (67) It also exhibited a hypercarbic arousal phenomenon, which has been described during normal sleep and is a safety feature. The obstructive respiratory pattern and irregular breathing seen with high doses of 1-2µg/kg given over 2 minutes and are probably related more to deep sedation and anatomical features of the patient and this could be easily overcome by insertion of an oral airway.
Immunizations weaken the immune system and makes it work less efficiently.. Immunizations have harmful chemicals in them that are dangerous to the body. Children can still contract a disease regardless of getting immunized against it. A person has no guarantee that they will not contact the disease if they have been vaccinated. A person/child is less likely to contract a disease if they naturally develop an immunity for example breastfeeding or coming in contact at a young age. More than 12,000 bad reactions to vaccines are reported each year, if all doctors reported these reactions the total would be closer to 120,000 per year.
Today, Black Cohosh is distributed in an over the counter pill form with the recommended dose ranging from 40 - 80 mg per day (Ehrlich, 2011). Black Cohosh also comes in tea form however; the doses of the herb are not as effective. There have been many studies comparing Black Cohosh versus Hormone Replacement therapy. The conclusions from Black Cohosh studies have proven effective in relieving menopause symptoms in healthy women in the early stages of menopause with minimal side effects. Black cohosh should be used because it is safer compared to hormone replacement therapy, has minimal side effects, and minimal interactions with other medicines.
Synthesis #2 1) Approximately 1% of babies in the United States are born with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders or (FASD). FASD is an umbrella term for all birth related defects associated with alcohol exposure prenatally (O’Connor & Whaley, 2007). Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, or (FAS) is a specific medical diagnosis for permanent conditions from birth to prenatal alcohol related conditions (Rasmussen et al., 2012). FAS can result in mental disabilities, as well as psychological and behavioral problems (Rasmussen et al., 2012). Children who are diagnosed with FAS, are also put at risk for maltreatment by their mothers (Grant, Ernst, Streissguth, Stark; 2005).
Immunity acquired by mothers can cover infants for up to six months, after birth. Since hypothesis, can change, unlike principle and laws, babies, now take drugs right from the very first day of life. Some are immunized only few months later. Babies now take vaccines against dipthera poliomyelitis, tetanus, tuberculousis, and measles, within first six months of life. In the past, it is believed, that when, mothers breast feed babies, the next food is water.
