  • Facts about Genetic research

    Genetics, or the science of genes, seems to be the future of modern medicine, and genetic research keeps gaining ground, but together with the great benefits and cures it can bring, genetic research poses a lot of moral and ethical problems, and it has been said that it could even threaten our civil rights and liberties.

    If genetic research continues to develop, parents will be able to have exactly the children they want, and they could plan his life even before his birth. And is this 'right'?Other thing that genetic research could lead to is genetic discrimination - already a numbe ...

  • Natural Ways to Treat Stretch Marks

    Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life. One aspect of child-bearing, however, may not be so welcomed. For 75-90% of pregnant women, stretch marks, or striae gravidum, can appear in the later half of pregnancy. Stretch marks do not pose any health risk to either the mother or child, but can cause anxiety over their appearance for those who develop them. Stretch marks first appear as raised striations which vary in colour from pink, purple or brown, depending on the mother’s normal skin colour. Striations develop where fat is stored in the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, but ...

  • Why Are We So Fat? The Real Reason For The Obesity Epidemic
    Copyright 2006 Tom Venuto

    Why Are We So Fat? That’s the question asked in the cover story of a recent issue of National Geographic magazine.

    “Americans enjoy one of the most luxurious lifestyles on Earth: Our food is plentiful. Our work is automated. Our leisure is effortless. And it’s killing us,” says Geographic senior writer Cathy Newman.

    Some of the latest facts and statistics about obesity revealed in the article are chilling:

    * One out of three Americans is obese, twice as many as three decades ago

    * The Center for Disease control and Prevention (CDC) h ...

    Genetic, Household and Spatial Clustering of Leprosy on an Island in Indonesia: A Population-Based Study
    It is generally accepted that genetic factors play a role in susceptibility to both leprosy per se and leprosy type, but only few studies have tempted to quantify this. Estimating the contribution of genetic factors to clustering of leprosy within families is difficult since these persons often share the same environment. The first aim of this study was to test which correlation structure (genetic, household or spatial) gives the best explanation for the distribution of leprosy patients and seropositive persons and second to quantify the role of genetic factors in the occurrence of leprosy and seropositivity.


    Study proposes new method to investigate genetic hybridization
    Hybridization is most likely to occur in recently evolved species, yet these are the species in which it is most difficult to detect owing to strong genetic similarity deriving from their recently shared ancestry. In the July 2005 issue of The American Naturalist, Peter Grant and colleagues propose a method that teases out an effect on their genetic similarity due to hybridization, based on the fact that sympatric populations can exchange genes whereas allopatric populations cannot.

  • The Truth About Halitosis, More Commonly Known As Bad Breath
    PART I: THE SCIENCE OF HALITOSIS AND BACTERIA IN YOUR MOUTH

    Halitosis, also more commonly known as bad breath, is caused by anaerobic producing bacteria which normally live WITHIN the surface of the tongue and in the throat. These bacteria are supposed to be there because they assist with digestion by breaking down proteins found in specific foods, mucous or phlegm, blood, and in diseased or "broken-down" oral tissue. Under certain conditions, these bacteria start to break down proteins at a very high rate. Proteins are made up of amino acids, two of which (Cysteine and Methionine) are dens ...

  • Weight Gain Myths

    The vast majority of myths about weight gain are mostly passed down from "gym talk" and so-called experts who know nothing about the body's workings.

    Myths that lead to wasted time, frustration and if are taken blindly as truth, can really set back your progress in the gym. Don't believe everything you hear when it comes to exercise and weight gain.

    Simple, basic principles apply to all weight and muscle gain such as progressive overload, variable frequency of reps and high intensity workouts.

    Lets take a look at some of the most common weight gain myths.

    Water treatment plants are set up to eliminate certain types of waste materials, such as pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals from the water supply. They cannot however cope, neither are they equipped to deal with pharmaceuticals, as you will probably know, up to 90% of drugs that are taken in to our bodies, is eliminated by the kidneys and urine, so whatever passes through our bodies, eventually end up back at the water treatment plant and then in to ...
