Abstract

The choice between breastfeeding and bottle (formula) feeding appears to be one of the fundamental decisions that await both new and expectant parents. Quite a number of health bodies including World Health Organization (WHO), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and also the American Medical Association (AMA), all recommend breastfeeding to be the appropriate choice for infants (Andres, Cleves, Bellando, Pivik, Casey, & Badger, 2012). Breastfeeding assists defend against several chronic conditions, prevent allergies, and protect against infections. The AAP, in particular, recommends that infants be breastfed exclusively for the first six (6) months following their birth. Beyond that, breastfeeding is ...

Breast cancer is identified as the most common cancer among women in the world (Chlebowski, Chen, Anderson, Rohan, Aragaki, Paskett, and Prentice, 2013). The prevalence rates have increased in the recent past, a trend associated with lifestyle attributes such as improper diets and lack of exercise. In as much as genetics play a contributory role in the development of breast cancer, a significant part is associated with these changes. An interesting aspect is that the ailment affects women differently in relation to differences in racial and ethnic considerations. In this regard, Asian women are the least affected group in ...

Soy beans and their derivative products contain naturally occurring compounds called isoflavones. The isoflavones, occurring predominantly as daidzein and genistein, are not in actual sense estrogens, and, thus, they do not increase estrogen levels in blood when diets rich in them are taken. However, they have been noted to affect estrogen metabolism. Also known sometimes as phytoestrogens, because of producing weak-estrogen like effects in the body, isoflavones usually bind to estrogen receptor proteins, which in turn interact with one’s genetic materials in the cell. In this way, isflavones would be mimicking some of the physiological effects of the ...

Molloy College Abstract Lung cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States today. While smoking is a significant risk factor, there are other causes of the disease. Second-hand smoke, exposure to radon gas and asbestos, and possibly other environmental contaminants act in conjunction with gender and ethnicity to result in a diagnosis of lung cancer. Numbers indicate that more non-smokers are being diagnosed with lung cancer at this time than non-smokers due to development of the disease after cessation. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly extend the life of the lung cancer patient while studies continue seeking ...

Lactose intolerance is an inability to digest milk sugar (lactose). After eating or drinking milk or dairy products people with this disorder may get uncomfortable side effects - such as diarrhea, stomach pains, bloating, nausea, and gas. The symptoms usually occur about 30 minutes to two hours after ingesting dairy products. Digestive problems appear because some people do not have enough the enzyme lactase. The lactose intolerance is more common among people of Asian, African, and South American descent than in Caucasians. Lactose intolerance is largely inherited due to genetic factors. The other causes of this condition include gastroenteritis, ...

Food containing genetically modified organisms or GMOs should be banned in the US. The reason for this is because GMOs pose a great risk to people consuming such products. GMOs are products of biotechnology which makes use of bacteria or viruses to penetrate the cells of plants and introduce genes that would make the plant more resistant to environmental conditions such as drought and insects. The injected toxins are said to be potent only to insects and pests but are safe for human. However, there is a growing doubt about the safety of GMOs. Examples of genetically modified products are seeds ...

Genetically engineered food is produced from plants, animals and/ or microbes that have had their genetic code modified by the selective introduction of specific DNA segment through the use of gene spicing. Through this process, the organism acquires desirable traits such as pest protection, improved nutrition and herbicide resistance. The genetically modified organisms, plants in particular, are modified to increase yield therefore allowing farmers to produce more with fewer chemicals (Atreya, p. 94). As a result, this leads to a cleaner environment and cheaper food stuff for the people. However, the main debatable question on this topic is, how safe are ...

Vegetarian diets can be hazardous to health because many beliefs about the diet’s benefits are not supported by scientific evidence (Byrnes 72). According to the American Dietetic Association, vegetarian and vegan diets can be healthy at all stages of the life cycle when planned correctly (Craig and Mangels 1266). In the literature review by Craig and Mangels, the authors attempted to prove that the vegetarian diet includes all of the required nutrients, such as vitamin D or vitamin B-12 (1269). However, most empirical studies failed to correlate vegetarianism with improved health (Key 524S), and plant-based diets were associated ...

An analysis of tax benefits with different depreciation methods

ABSTRACT An operational asset of the company starts to lose value as soon as it is purchased. This reduction in value can be termed as ‘depreciation’. This decrease in the value of an asset occurs due to usage, passage of time, wear and tear, technological out dating or obsolescence, depletion, inadequacy, decay etc. Different assets are acquired at a certain value and they depreciate over time. The annual loss in the value of any asset on account of its depreciation can be calculated using different methods (discussed in the essay). Every method has a different effect on the tax calculation ...

GMOs stand for Genetically Modified Organisms. The modifications have been done by scientists with the goal to increase crop yields. While the jury is still out on whether or not they are in fact significantly increasing crop yields, one of the biggest questions being asked regarding GMO products being allowed to go unlabeled in the consumer market is are NGOs safe? Some studies as will be detailed in great depth in this essay explore data that seem to indicate they may indeed not be safe. The problem stems both from the perceived threat and the lack of labeling of ...

Mad cow disease

Mad cow disease is also known scientifically as Bovine spongiform encephalopathy. It is a dangerous disease that severely affects the infected cow’s brain and spinal cord. Mad cow disease incubation period is about 3 to 8 years and usually affect fully grown cows (Ridgway 23). The disease can easily be transmitted to humans if parts of the infected meat are ingested. The infected meat though concentrated in the brain and the spinal cord can also be infected through the blood of an infected cow. The disease is known as Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (vCJD or nvCJD). The Mad cow ...

Introduction

Like any other class of organisms, aphids have their own adaptation to feeding. This can be easily deduced from their high precision in determining host plants from non-host plants. In this class, the mouthparts of insects are adapted to the various feeding modes which range from chewing to sucking. In our case of study, aphids have mouth parts which are highly adapted to sucking from plant phloem.

Theory of the experiment

Aphids are insects that can be a nightmare to farmers since they can become a perennial pest highly reducing the returns of the farmer. They are sucking insects which pierce through the plants and ...

George Washington Carver was an African American who was born into slavery. At the end of the civil war, he got his freedom although however he still lived in his former boss’s house since he was an orphan. He educated himself by doing odd jobs and later earned a Master’s degree in horticulture. At that time, there were still instances of racism and he had to travel to other cities where he would be accepted because of his race.

Introduction

Vegetarianism is the practice of consuming plant-based diets such as fruits, vegetables, without or with the inclusion of eggs or dairy products, and with the ruling out of meat including poultry, seafood and red meat. At the same time, abstaining from animal slaughter by-products, such as animal-derived gelatin and rennet, may as well be put into practice but vegetarianism may be implemented for diverse reasons. Numerous American skeptics refrain from eating meat out of reverence for better healthy life but such moral enthusiasm has been codified under a variety of religious viewpoints, together with the perception of animal rights. But ...

BENEFITS OF GENETIC ENGINEERING VERSUS THE POTENTIAL RISKS

Introduction and Benefits

Genetic engineering is the deliberate scientific modification of organism’s characterization by manipulation of its genetic material. On the part of economics, there has been a steady increase in the revenues from genetically modified crops. Also the global sales of these crops have also been matched by increase in sales of gene-based medicines. Scientists have developed crop that are more yielding, more resistance to diseases and pests and also more resistant to adverse climatic conditions especially drought leading to more economic power to farmers globally. Genetic engineering and technology have ensured that animals, especially human babies are ...

The main purpose of the research was to compare, in the same subjects, the cholesterol-lowering potential of a dietary portfolio with that of a statin. Drugs and diet have both been revealed efficient in combating cardiovascular disease risk and mortality. Statins decrease serum cholesterol and are increasingly supported in primary prevention to attain decreases in LDL cholesterol. The evident ineptness of conventional dietary approaches to lessen serum cholesterol by contrast with statins has decreased enthusiasm for diet as a therapeutic alternative. Conversely, newer dietary methods amalgamating foods high in constituents that decrease cholesterol (viscous fibres, soy protein, plant sterols, and nuts) might ...
