If Saccharin Is Safe, Why Does It Require A Warning Label?
Number of words: 1081 - Number of pages: 4.... cane sugar, and is now the most widely used sweetener in the world. This fact is alarming because although the mild carcinogenic has been deemed safe for human consumption, several studies have linked the chemical to bladder cancer. If the chemical were truly safe, it would not require a warning label on products that contain it.
Despite the fact that the United States government has deemed saccharin safe, in actuality, it should be banned until its effects on the human body are completely understood. Saccharin is an organic petroleum-based compound that is three to five hundred times swe .....

Tumors
Number of words: 534 - Number of pages: 2.... at this point by a process called differentiation.
Differentiation is the process by which normal cells undergo physical and structural changes as they develop to form different tissues of the body. Differentiated cells specialize in multiple physiological functions. For example, a highly differentiated cell like a nerve cell still shares many features in common with all cells (i.e. nucleus, cell membrane, and mitochondria). However, microscopically and functionally it is unique from other cell types in the body and performs certain functions specific to that cell.

Tourette's Disorder
Number of words: 4652 - Number of pages: 17.... be difficult to distinguish children with extreme attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from TS. Many ADHD children, on close examination, have a few phonic or motor tics, grimace, or produce noises similar to those of TS. Since at least half of the TS patients also have attention deficits and hyperactivity as children, a physician may well be confused. However, the treating doctor should be aware of the potential dangers of treating a possible case of TS with stimulant medication. On rare occasions the differentiation between TS and a seizure disorder may be problematic. The .....

Abortion And American Legal System
Number of words: 446 - Number of pages: 2.... again chipping away from women’s reproductive rights, and further restricting the earlier Roe v. Wade decision.
The law is contradicting because it does in fact place obstacles in the way of a woman’s obtaining an abortion.

The final result of my theory will result in finding out if Nigeria can achieve rapid ec .....

Don’t Let The Bed Bugs Bite
Number of words: 1858 - Number of pages: 7.... associations to bed must be eliminated. “Never remain in bed, awake, for more than thirty minutes” (Riley 88). If you stay in bed awake, you are subtracting many valuable minutes of deep, restful sleep. If you do get out of bed do something boring to make you tired. Do not eat or drink because your pleasures will strengthen your awakening ability. For example, eating ice-cream will make you want ice-cream on other nights. For a better sleep try keeping a warm body and cool room to enhance your sleeping abilities. For more comfort consider that, “sex is recommended whenever, wherev .....

Alcoholism
Number of words: 796 - Number of pages: 3.... 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 availability strongly influences the person's choice of associates
or activities. Alcohol comes to be used more as a mood-changing drug than as a
foodstuff or beverage served as a part of social custom or religious ritual.

Unconventional Medicines
Number of words: 2512 - Number of pages: 10.... better. For example, if a patient had a bad sunburn on their back, they could imagine that a block of ice was melting inside their neck and dripping down the back. Within minutes, the pain should be gone. Imagery can also include sounds, tastes, and smells. (Nash,1996:45) The list of alternative therapies goes on and on.
For every disease known to mankind, there is probably a complementary alternative medicine to counter it. Most alternative medicines are unheard of in North America, where conventional medicines and doctors dominate over eastern medicine. This is mainly because when .....

When riding a bicycle, your muscles produce 30-100 times more heat than
when your body is at rest. The body puts out this inferno by increasing the
sweat rates. In the summer you can lose over two liters of fluid per hour on a
really hot day, dehydration and saddle soars are the leading reasons cyclists
drop out of races. The body loses this much fluid mostly from an increase in
sweat rates. Water does not supply calories, minerals, o .....

The Dangers Of Smoking
Number of words: 696 - Number of pages: 3.... smoking and underage smokers. Since 1964 there have been an estimated 3000 deaths caused by second hand smoke. This is kind of scary to me, considering how many firends that I hang out with that smoke. Another problem is that young people start smoking cigarettes way too early. Around 80% of adult smokers said that they started to smoke sometime before their 18 birth day. The reason that this is such a big problem is that nearly 3000 children between the ages of 12 and 17 become regular users each day. This is just a few of the many reasons you should consider, about the dangerousne .....
