Cocaine is derived from the leaves of coca plants (Erythorxylum genus), however the drug also contains traces of other chemicals which adds to the unpredictability of how the body will react to the drug. These other chemicals may include glucose or lactose. These common chemicals give this drug it’s white powder look, which is scientifically named cocaine hydrochloride. Cocaine can be processed or made in many illicit…

Celiac disease is a lifelong autoimmune inflammatory disease in the small intestine, due to an abnormal immune response to Gluten products when ingested. Those affected by CD have an abnormal reaction during digestion of gluten products, leading to gastrointestinal complications and is also linked to the development of several other health problems. Roughly 60,000 Americans are diagnosed each year with this disorder, while scientist believe that 1 in 140 people have this disease and are unaware…

Sugar vs. Fat Which is worse? When it comes to excess, sugar and fat are the protagonists of poor diet. Who is at fault? Today, we are about three times fatter than in the 60s and is not because we are eating a lot more because we move less. In fact there is more variety of light food, more options and more access to sport them. What factor behind? We know that fat and sugar are suspects when it comes to obesity, but still seem to go through life without understanding how to balance our diet.…

Since the beginning of time, Staphylococcus, also known as staph infection, has (Khan, 2017), but there was not an official discovery of what it was until much later. In the year of 1880, a surgeon discovered the bacterial infection in a patient after a surgery (Mandal, 2012). A staph infection is an infection caused by a group of Staphylococcus bacteria that can cause many different conditions and diseases. Believe it or not, the Staphylococcus bacteria is found in the normal flora of the body…

CHIPS ALTERNATIVES Chips are a favorite snack or side dish for many people. There are several brands of chips in the grocery store. You can find chips not only at the grocery store, but even at the local subway as a side dish for your sandwich, and at barbeques as a side dish. Some people even eat chips at the movies.

but he still talks about how 2 percent milk has 27% more calories than a can of Coca-Cola. Another thing he mentions is how milk contains more sugar than soda, which doesn’t make much sense. He does let us know that milk’s sugar is in the form of lactose, but his claims on it containing more sugar than soda still seem a little misleading. Freedhoff makes another strange comparison between flavored milk and pies. He says “proponents of milk’s health-promoting properties are so enamored with…

Cellular respiration is a process that takes place in the mitochondria where a chain of metabolic reactions occur in order to generate chemical energy from nutrients such as carbohydrates. The key reactants of this process include oxygen and glucose which yield carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis is the process where light energy is converted into chemical energy. The key reactants in photosynthesis are water, light and carbon dioxide which yield glucose and oxygen. In this lab, several…

assisting the collection of accurate results. Henrietta Lacks death causes researchers to steal her cells for studying and developing treatments for “herpes, leukemia, influenza, hemophilia and Parkinson’s disease, and they’ve been used to study lactose digestion, sexually transmitted diseases, appendicitis, human longevity, mosquito mating, and the negative effects of working in sewers” (“Animals in Science”). Mrs. Lacks’s cells are HeLa cells that give researchers a way to test and experiment…

into a fight with your friend can be solved by buying her a matching white fur vest. Another thing that I could connect from our class to this episode was that difference in diet between the classes. In one episode the high class references both a lactose intolerant diet and a diet where you cannot eat deli meat. People in the low class cannot eat this way simply because they cannot afford it. The high class is also a place filled with crime, affairs, murders, secrets, and lies. They have enough…

Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES) is a condition in which one or more tumors form in the pancreas or duodenum. The tumors which are called gastrinomas secrete large amounts of the hormone gastrin. The hormone gastrin causes the stomach to produce too much acid which then leads to peptic ulcers. Zollinger- Ellison Syndrome was first described in 1955 by two gentlemen Zollinger and Ellison. At the time the syndrome consisted of the following triad; gastric acid hypersecretion in the presence of…
