possibly spontaneous abortion (Bennett, 2015). Although the causative agent is the biggest contributor to the defect, the teratogen may work in concert with the genetic makeup of parents and child. It is recommended that women reduce or eliminate ingestion or contact with teratogens will pregnant, but this is not always possible due to medications for pre-existing…

difficulty concentrating. Gradually tapering off caffeine usage will make withdrawal less traumatic”(Abramovitz 2). In contrast Dr. Lane claims one should go cold turkey when quitting. Withdrawal symptoms present themselves about twelve hours after ingestion and climax around twenty four hours later. Symptoms usually vanish in a week, which might be preferred over cutting back over a long period of time and still going through withdrawal (Reddy…

these deaths occur among people who has never smoked. The primary routes of potential human exposure to radon are inhalation and ingestion. Radon in the ground, groundwater, or building materials enters working and living spaces and disintegrates into its decay products. Although high concentrations of radon in groundwater may contribute to radon exposure through ingestion, the inhalation of radon released from water is usually more…

Kant on Food, Physical Satisfaction or Humanity Choice? Yuhang Guo 121684092@qq.com Munster University In western philosophy history, Kant’s topic on food was not enormous and indeed not a central issue in Kant scholarship, but it has its attention within the "duties to oneself". However, this has been traditionally overlooked and this lack of comprehension have been redressed, but again and again the disdain for food that had accompanied western thought from the outset won out. It was…

blood contains low amount of water, it can result in decrease in plasma volume, and increases in serum osmolality which led to blood having increased viscosity (Evans 1. et al. 1506). Additionally, the plasma volume results in decreasing, is due to ingestion of glucose solutions which have a high osmolality and are energy dense (Evans, Shirreffs 1, Maughan 2, 1508). Osmolarity allows to measure how much water and how many ions are being excreted. In other word, the daily changes in the body…

Effects of Carbohydrate Ingestion Pre- Grip Strength Exercise on Muscle Endurance In the world of fitness, nutritional supplements are ingested with intent to maximize the results of strength exercise. In achieving favorable adaptations to exercise, sufficient nutrient consumption is critical. Also important is the timing of nutrient consumption, as greater benefits are observed when ingestion takes place in a time frame close to the exercise (Laurenson & Dubé, 2014). Previous literature…

economic losses for fisheries and reduce the number of wild fish stocks. Entanglement poses a specific problem to rare marine species as it reduces their number potentially leading to endangering the species or extinction. Fatal entanglement and ingestion of marine debris has increased by 40% in the last decade (Thompson, 2013) and will continue to rise without the implementation of legislations and…

Body By Gilary Lozano Lopez Worldwide, 70 to 76 mg of caffeine is consumed per person daily from food items such as coffee, soda, tea, and chocolate (Millerand Gilbert 1981). Caffeine generates a feeling of energy in the consumer after ingestion, accelerates the heartbeat and causes alterations in perception, mood, and consciousness. These alterations are caused by the blockage of adenosine, a chemical found in all cells in the body that promotes sleep (Nehlig et. al 1992). The…

Plastics today go hand and hand with the lifestyles people live in the United States. Plastic is used in also every medium of my day, like many other people would agree, as its use is unavoidable. I use plastic for containers holding soap and makeup, mediums for food and beverages, and many others things. With plastic having so much prevalence today, it’s hard to believe that it can also have adverse side effects on the body as well. Phthalates are used in the production of plastic to allow it…
