The culture of Ukraine is unique and different from each other, but among years it has been affected by its eastern and western neighbors, which is shown in its structure. The geographical conditions influenced the Ukrainian culture, curiosity of the historical procedure, as well as relations with other ethnic cultures. An important historical period in the Ukrainian culture was after independence. Ukrainian national identity exist from personal self-determination shared with others in the basis…

1. Introduction Plants are crucial to the health and wellness of humanity. Over thousands of years, in an attempt to establish themselves within a single region, early humans began to use cultivation techniques, which is now called agriculture. It was with the advent of farming - when men realized that planting seeds resulted in germination - that societies began to develop more than 12,000 years ago. Communities then started to grow plants to feed them, and over the years, they developed a…

GMO Crops May Have Beneficial or Detrimental Effects on Small Farmers Introduction: The United States Department of Agriculture defines a GMO crop as any plant used in agriculture in which a segment of the plants DNA have been genetically modified. This process is done using techniques of genetic engineering. Before genetically modified organisms were know as mainly being altered plants in the publics eye there was research on isolating genes of one species and transplanting it into another.…

• Fasting is easier to follow than dieting. Some diets are quite difficult to follow, especially if you take account: • Calorie counting • Drinking only fruit or vegetables juices • Eating only “approved” but expensive frozen meals • Incorporating a number of food supplements into your daily meals • Listing down precisely what you eat and their corresponding volume • Eliminating major food groups from your daily meals (e.g. carbohydrates, or proteins, or solid food, etc.) You do not need to…

A female Mini Schnauzer named Maggie and found that after a while of having her, she started chewing on her back & legs with some spots on her looking pretty raw. We examined her and knew she didn't have fleas and we started to worry that her hair wouldn't grow back in the raw areas. We decided to take her to the vet to see what was wrong. The vet had the usual answer of the dog has allergies and could either give her shots (expensive) or try a cream/lotion. We decided to go to the pet store…

The abbreviation GMO stands for genetically modified organism. A genetically modified organism is a plant that has been altered by the insertion of genes from other animals or bacteria. Typical foods including corn, soybean, cottonseed and sugar beets can be genetically modified. Biotech companies make the genetically modified organisms because they are pesticide resistant. Pesticide resistant means that the organism is immune to pesticides like Round Up. Animals that feed on these foods can no…

I. Introduction Every year Americans devour massive amounts of beef, pork, and poultry; in the past year alone, the total towered a colossal 214.6 pounds per person. Additionally, 193 pounds of genetically modified sugar beets, corn syrup, soybean oil, and corn-based products were consumed. This substantial amount of food and sugars could not be ingested without the multiplying acres of industrial farms. But dangerous ramifications lurk within the cramped confines of the farms. People need to…

In 1994 the company Calgene marketed its Flavr Savr delayed-ripening tomatoes. This would become known as the first commercial sale of a genetically modified food. Since then plants have been engineered for resistance to pathogens, herbicides and for better nutrient profiles. So if the world has been consuming genetically modified organisms for eleven years, how bad can they really be? Genetically modified foods have the potential to change the global food supply for the better in years to come…

energy that you lack. Did you also know that sugars glycolic acid can be very helpful in maintain the health and look of your skin? (Sugar history n.d.). You also get minerals and nutrients from which the sugar source came from like sugarcanes or beets. There are also environment benefits to take into consideration like natural sugars don’t use pesticides and other harmful chemicals. According to the American Heart Association’s website (2015, para 2) there are two types of sugars. Frist,…

increased over the past 20 years and studies have found that drinking large amounts of sugar-sweetened beverages affects, children especially, the risk of obesity. HFCS is a “high-fructose” corn syrup and sucrose is table sugar which came from sugar beets, they also contain nearly equal proportion of smaller glucose and fructose sugars. Both HFCS and sucrose differs in the amount of fructose that is contained in each, but are almost equally in being chemically equivalent. Dr. Robert Lustig…
