Nowadays if you step into a Whole Foods or a Trader Joes you’ll see there food marketed as “non GMO” or “GMO free”. What does that even mean though? A GMO is a genetically modified organism. Scientists will alter the genes of a plant or animal with DNA from different a species to get desired traits, such as resistance to disease or tolerance of pesticides. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding GMOs over the last few years. Scientists have claimed that GMOs are creating problems for our…

damage. Whenever you turn your car on, you have made toxins that are poisoning the Earth. Whenever you open your refrigerator or use bug spray, you have made toxins that are poisoning the Earth.

Some of these toxins you might be familiar with, like carbon…

To understand why people are allies and opponents of labeling genetically modified organisms a deeper look would have to be taken to figure out the history and current events that are taking place right now with the issue. To many people labeling these organisms would just be sticking another label on the back of a box. Although this is true for most, some people actually want this label to expand the knowledge of what is inside of the daily foods that are consumed. The opponents and allies then…

Purpose: The kidneys are a very important organ responsible for removing nitrogenous waste in the body. Every day, the kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid. To understand how this amazing organ works, it‘s important to explore and learn about each component. This dissection of kidney is a great opportunity to earn first hand on experience with the kidney and understand it role in the unary system.…

Stella Cottrell-Dormer Biology GMOEssay Ibu Alissa Gouw December 19 2015 BT Cotton Many of the foods we eat both at home and away from home, are made of ingredients that have been genetically modified, meaning that the genes in the ingredients are improved so that they can be better and more improved. Genetically modified foods can range from the rice we consume to the material used to make our clothes. GMO stands for genetically modified organisms. GMOs are organisms that are created through…

It has been discovered and proved also in the study of the European Journal of Neurology that the intensity of the headache can be reduced by increasing your intake of water. Benefits of mineral water for health is to eliminate toxins from our body, especially when we urinate and sweat. The risk of urinary tract infections and kidney stones can be reduced with the sweat liquid discharge aided by mineral water. Chronic disease prevention can be done simply with just a many drinking…

Companies that sell this mineral will go through a large process to extract it from the ground by pumping acid and chemicals into the ground. Once the mineral is extracted, the leftover acid and chemicals are then released into tailing lakes that release toxins into the ground…

vomiting. Since the stomach relies on a uniform muscle movement in order to digest food (peristalsis), introducing a toxin that disrupts normal muscle movement will cause the cramping and pain sensation in a person’s gastrointestinal tract. Although this toxin is interfering with neuromuscular signaling, all of the pain signaling pathways are still fully functional since they work with a different set of neurotransmitters and pathways. Inhibition of the neuromuscular junction does not always…

A number of toxins, created by molds on food can cause severe illness. Produce, cheese and breads are the most common foods where molds are created. One easy way to prevent getting contaminated by infected food is not to taste foods that smell or look irregular. Another easy way to prevent contamination is to stick with the recommended dates on the food labels. Our classmate Ron mentioned E.Coli and Salmonella, these two are food borne bacterias with salmonella being the most common cause of…

space, but when the carcinogens are disbursed into the air, the toxins mix into the air and in time, the toxins will blend with the nonsmoking section air until both air environments are blended and toxins evenly disbursed between both the smoking/nonsmoking side. The amount of time it takes for the smoke to reach the other side of the wall is of little importance when it is clear that the wall is only delaying the delivery of the toxins. The accommodation of smoking/nonsmoking sides to allow…
