What's Wrong With Our Food And Drugs?
... I don't know about you but I think something has
got to be done to keep our food clean and edible.
The other half of this story is the ridiculous cures that some people
are receiving. I have heard of alcohlics who are trying to breaktheir habits
being given a bottle of medicine that contains 80 % alcohol. Something there
doesn't sound right. People are being given the same treatment for epilepsy and
all sorts of other disorders. How is alcohol going to help someone that has
epilepsy? The only thing these nonsense treatments are doing is making the
physical ailments that these people have worse. If you were terribly sick do do
you think alcohol would cure yo ...

Abortion And Politics
... for any development and self-fulfillment because of an unwanted pregnancy. The incursion on the liberty of an unmarried woman who becomes pregnant is even more severe. Unable to terminate her pregnancy, she is often forced into marriage against her will and better judgement in an attempt to cope with the new economical and social realities of her life. Of course, frequently, the man who is responsible for the pregnancy refuses to marry her, and responsibility to provide support. The woman may be forced to become a welfare recipient, become part of this cycle of poverty, and expose herself to the personal humiliation, loss of personal liberty, and inadequate income ...

Anorexia And Bulimia Nervosa
... clubs, or
cosmetic surgery.
A recent national survey in the US reveled that the majority of women,
when asked what would make them happiest, choose thinness over all other choices,
even such thing as job promotion, romance, prestige and power. In fact, more
women feared becoming fat, then feared dying. These statistics revel an alarming
social problem that is reaching epic proportions.
Although the topic of eating disorders has gained a larger audience
within the last decade, the number of cases of eating disorders continues to
rise at a resounding rate. Today many scientists are looking into possible
causes for the onset of an eating disorder. The mo ...

No-Calorie Powder May Substitute For Food's Fat
... also developed Oatrim. This is made up of a digestible fiber
from oat flour that provides four calories per gram.
Z-Trim compared to another fat substitute, olestra, is different.
Olestra can cause gastrointestinal distress and take vitamins and carotenoids
out of the body. The new substitute does not have those affects. Inglett says
that you should eat more of the kind of fibers that make up Z-Trim to reduce
the chances of getting intestinal disorders.
But there are some people who argue with Inglett's theory on his new
substitute. "I wouldn't expect Z-Trim to have the same kinds of problems as
olestra," says Margo Wootan, a senior scientist a ...

Hyperkinetic Children
... tolerance, temper outbursts,
low self-esteem, and lack of response to discipline. Very rarely would a child
be considered hyperactive in every situation, just because restraint and
sustained attentiveness are not necessary for acceptable performance in many
low-structure situations. Many parents rate the onset of abnormal activity in
their child when it is and infant or toddler. Abnormal sleep patterns are
frequently mentioned, the child objects to taking naps, he also seems to need
less sleep, and becomes very stubborn at bedtime. Then, when the child is
seemingly exhausted, hyperactive behavior may increase. Family history studies
show that hyperac ...

Alcoholism
... Soviet Socialist
Republics, and many European nations. This is paralleled by growing evidence of
increasing numbers of alcohol-related problems in other nations, including the
Third World.
Development
Alcoholism, as opposed to merely excessive or irresponsible drinking, has been
variously thought of as a symptom of psychological or social stress or as a
learned, maladaptive coping behavior. More recently, and probably more
accurately, it has come to be viewed as a complex disease entity in its own
right. Alcoholism usually develops over a period of years. Early and subtle
symptoms include placing excessive importance on the availability of alcohol.
Ensuring this ...

The Human Brain
... surface of the earth, man has wondered about
himself, and how he relates to the natural world. People learned and
adapted to new lifestyles. As time passed, humans learned to record
history. They analyzed past events and applied this knowledge to solve
problems. These processes improved as more and more people supplied their
experiences to the common pool of knowledge. Such co-operation created the
modern man with his superb ability to think.
Many sciences were born. Some of them centered around humans. They
included, among many others, psychology and neurology. While psychology
deals with the mind and human behavior, neurology is the study of the
nervo ...

The Battle Against AIDS
... occurs throughout the world. HIV infects certain white
blood cells, including T-helper cells and macrophages, that play key roles
in the functioning of the immune system. The virus attaches to specific
molecules found only on the surface of the cells. These molecules are
called CD4 receptor molecules, and the cells themselves are often referred
to as CD4 cells. When an AIDS virus enters one of these cells, the virus
inserts its genes into the cell's reproductive system and uses it to
produce more HIV. This infection kills the CD4 cell and spreads AIDS
viruses to other CD4 cells, where the process is repeated.
HIV can be present in the body for 2 to ...

Alzheimer's Disease
... Approximately ten percent of the neurons in this region were
lost. But a ten percent loss is relatively minor, and cannot account for the
severe impairment suffered by Alzheimer's victims.
Neurofibrillary Tangles are also found in the brains of Alzheimer's victims.
They are found within the cell bodies of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, and
take on the structure of a paired helix. Other diseases that have "paired
helixes" include Parkinson's disease, Down's Syndrome, and Dementia Pugilistica.
Scientists are not sure how the paired helixes are related in these very
different diseases.
Neuritic Plaques are patches of clumped material lying outside the bodi ...
