..."I want to convince you that the conventional wisdom about weight gain is wrong," declared Gary Taubes. The idea that eating too much and exercising too little is the culprit is, he said, "as obsolete as the belief that the sun rotates around the earth." Thus began the most revolutionary presentation in the five-year history of the Nutrition and Health Conference, an annual three-day event co-sponsored by the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine (founded by Dr. Weil in 1994). Held most recently in Phoenix, Arizona in April of 2008, it attracted some 500 health care professionals from around the world, and the packed house at Arizona Grand Resort made it clear that Taubes was a headliner. The writer, trained in applied physics at Harvard and aerospace engineering at Stanford, specializes in parsing hot science controversies in articles and books (such as 1993's Bad Science: The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion). He is widely credited with kicking off the national low-carb diet trend with his July 2002 New York Times Magazine article, What If It's All Been a Big, Fat Lie? In 2007, he published Good Calories, Bad Calories: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom on Diet, Weight Control and Disease, a book that led the New York Times to assert that "Gary Taubes is a brave and bold science journalist" who shows that "much of what is believed about nutrition and health is based on the flimsiest evidence." Taubes' message: political pressure and sloppy science over the last...

...Title: Identification of the Main Groups in Macromolecules- Carbohydrates Objective: To investigate and identify the different types of carbohydrates Background: Macromolecules are large molecules that are present in our body. There are four main types of macromolecules, namely carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Each one of them plays specific and significant roles in our body and each one of them is extremely important. If we are lacking either one of them, our body would receive the consequences. Carbohydrates are one of the most essential sources of energy for our body. They a composed of the three elements, carbon (C), hydrogen (H) oxygen (O), and in the ratio of 1:2:1. With the general formula Cn(H2O)n. There are three common groups under carbohydrates, which are monosaccharide (simple sugar), oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. All of these groups possess different carbon structural and function between one another. There are many types of experiments that can be conducted to identify and differentiate the group from each other. Thus, the alb activity can surely help to further understanding between the relationship of the groups’ structure and their function.

...what doctors mostly emphasize is on food intake. As the socioeconomic levels of most Americans rise, diets are increasingly having a higher proportion of sugars while work is shifting into a less physical nature. The high proportion of sugars in the American diet has a direct relationship to obesity and other related illnesses. Is sugar related to obesity and medical disorders associated in the American society? In order to become fully aware of the link between sugars and diabetes, we have to look at the features and nature of sugar. Sugar is a generalized name for a crystalline carbohydrate that is simple, edible and has a sweet flavor. The main types of sugar are sucrose, lactose, fructose and glucose. Glucose, also referred to as blood sugar is the one that circulates in the blood. Table sugar and fruits contain sucrose and fructose respectively. During the process of digestion, carbohydrates break down into glucose, which is the only form of sugar that the body absorbs. Sugars are involved in various body processes and intake should be per body requirements. An excess or a shortage of sugars usually leads to manifestation of a disease (Lustig, 2013). In this case, we will investigate the effects of over-consuming sugars and their contribution to obesity and related health illnesses...

...------------------------------------------------- Why carbohydrates are the best fuel for athletes All the energy we need for life as well as for exercise comes from the food we eat and the fluids we drink. These nutrients are commonly broken into three classes: * Carbohydrates * Fats * Proteins Each category of food is important for health and we should all consume foods from each category. The ratios in which we need to consume these foods, however, is often the topic of a debate. Sports Nutrition – Carbohydrate – Carbs Carbohydrate is arguably the most important source of energy for athletes. No matter what sport you play, carbs provide the energy that fuels muscle contractions. Once eaten, carbohydrates breakdown into smaller sugars (glucose, fructose and galactose) that get absorbed and used as energy. Any glucose not needed right away gets stored in the muscles and the liver in the form of glycogen. Once these glycogen stores are filled up, any extra gets stored as fat. Glycogen is the source of energy most often used for exercise. It is needed for any short, intense bouts of exercise from sprinting to weight lifting because it is immediately accessible. Glycogen also supplies energy during the first few minutes of any sport. During long, slow duration exercise, fat can help fuel activity, but glycogen is still needed to help breakdown the fat into something the muscles can use. Adequate carbohydrate intake also helps prevent protein from being used as...

Healthcare Dear Mr. President, I am a concerned aunt addressing recent decisions that may or may not affect people in the U. S… I am upset with the idea of not giving Medicaid coverage to children with type 1 diabetes, “based on their income” my niece has been struggling for years with it. She did not receive Medicaid because of her step mother’s income, but that should not have anything to do with it. Her medication is expensive and they won’t pay for it; we applied for assistance and was turned down. As a concerned aunt I’m asking you to look into the matter and let me know something. If there’s a way around the system to help my niece I would really appreciate it. In saying that Medicaid should be for anyone in need of medicine or that have medical problems that medicine will keep them living longer. Thank you for your consideration; Sincerely, Debbie Townsman 1356 Ralph Ave North, Carolina 27909 Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes in Children Dr. David Hill Diabetes is more common in children The signs and symptoms are; excessive thirst, constant urination, sudden onset of weight lost Yeast infections, thrust – white film in the mouth of young children under one year of age Unexplained fatigue.

...7 Common Myths About Vegan Diet Overview The vegan diet is an Indian style of feeding known to reduce excess fat very easy and fast. It is inclusive of the vegetables and no animal product to enhance reduction of cholesterol. This diet can make you lose as much fat as you wish only if you have to take it as prescribed. You have to sacrifice all the junk you love and the amounts of alcohol you take in a day. In case you mix up the vegan diet you will absolutely get wrong impacts that will not reflect weight and fat loss. The following are the 7 common myths about vegan diet; 1. Vegan diet is the only diet proven to reverse heart disease This is true since the heart diseases are cause by too much fat in the body. The moment fat clogs around the heart you will be in a position to suffer from difficulties in breathing. The moment you begin with the breathing problems you will be at higher risk of suffering from hear attack. Use vegan diet and it will be a great deal helping you survive the risk of early death. This diet helps to break down the fats that clog around the heart. 2. Saturated fat and cholesterol are harmful substances This is a true statement since these fats and cholesterol is capable of making great harm in your body. They worsen the arthritis pain, diabetes and also increase the level of blood pressure in your body. Daily intake of a vegan diet will help reduces these cholesterol and fat hence making you be safe from the severe arthritis pains, diabetes, and blood...

...POWERPOINT Sugars- Many people think of rice, potatoes and pasta as 'carbs' but that's only a few examples of the huge range of foods that contain carbohydrates. All fruit and vegetables, all breads and grain (cereals) products, sugar and sugary foods contain carbohydrates. Choosing the healthier carbohydrates is common sense. Fresh fruit and veggies, wholegrain breads, wholegrain cereals and pastas are all healthy foods and form part of a healthy eating pattern. Carbohydrates are made of long chains of simple sugars. Thus sugar is a type of carbohydrate, needed by our body for energy. It may be called different names e.g. sucrose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup, maltose, dextrose, raw sugar, cane sugar, malt extract and molasses. Sugar in food and drinks can be naturally occurring, for example in fruit and dairy products, or added during processing, for example in confectionary, cakes, biscuits and sauces. Some healthy, core foods contain added sugars for flavour or food technology reasons, for example in flavoured yoghurt and some breakfast cereals. Starch- Why do you need starchy foods? Starchy foods are a good source of energy and the main source of a range of nutrients in our diet. As well as starch, they contain fibre, calcium, iron and B vitamins. Some people think starchy foods are fattening, but gram for gram they contain fewer than half the calories of fat. Just watch out for the added fats used when you cook and serve them: this is what increases...

...Testing for the macromolecules (Carbohydrates, Proteins and Lipids) Group Members Sonovia Culmer Welleana Ferguson Ashley Morley Jino Petit-Homme Anatomy & Physiology I: Biol 131/ section 01 Lecturer: Mr. Woodrow Smith Date: 11 February 2015 Introduction Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are all organic macromolecules composed of polymers which are made up of smaller simpler subunits (monomers). These macromolecules have unique characteristics that allow them to carry out complex functions. In this lab, four (4) tests will be conducted: the Benedict test (for reducing sugar) BNT test; Iodine test (for starch) BIU test; Biuret test (for protein) IDN test; and Sudan III test (for lipids) SDN test. The first test conducted would be the Benedict test. Carbohydrates include sugars, glycogen, starches and cellulose. Three substances will be tested for reducing sugars. These substances include sucrose, glucose and distilled water (H2O). If any of the substances are negative for non-reducing sugars it will have a blue color. If it positive for reducing sugar it will have a yellow to green to reddish orange color for weak to strong presence of the sugar respectively. The Idoine test for starch would be the second test...

...Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches and fibers found in fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products. They are called carbohydrates because, at the chemical level, they contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates provide fuel for the central nervous system and energy for working muscles. Carbohydrates are classified as simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates contain just one or two sugars, such as fructose (fruits) and galactose (milk products). These single sugars are called monosaccharides. Carbs with two sugars — such as sucrose (table sugar), lactose (dairy) and maltose are called disaccharides. Complex carbohydrates, which are also called polysaccharides have three or more sugars. They are often referred to as starchy foods and include beans, lentils, potatoes, corn, whole-grain breads and cereals. Lipids Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells. Examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins, hormones and most of the non-protein membrane of cells. Lipids are not soluble in water. They are non-polar and hydrophobic. Lipids contains a functional group including neutral fats, waxes, phospholipids, and glycolipids. The fatty acids with no carbon-carbon double bonds are called saturated. The ones that have two or more double bonds are called polyunsaturated. Proteins Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules. They are made up of hundreds or...

...Diabetic Athletes Your Name Your School After learning more about disease from someone with Type 1 diabetes it made me wonder how someone can be active with diabetes. First we must understand what Diabetes is, here is a definition I found was that is very simply and understanding. “Diabetes is disease that affect how your body uses blood sugar also known as glucose. Glucose is beneficial to one’s health because it is an important source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and tissues.” There are two types of diabetes there is Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The main difference between the two is Type 1 your body is unable to produce insulin, in Type 2 it can be cured through diet and exercise. Hypoglycemia is a major fear for among diabetics this is when you are low on blood sugar and this triggers symptoms such as: rapid/fast heartbeat, fatigue, headaches, shakiness, blurred vision, weakness, unconsciousness, etc. I did some research and found that there are actually people who are athletes that still are able to play a sport or even stay active. Team Novo Nordisk is a group diabetic athletes that compete each year in triathlons, cycling, and runners. They have competed in more than 500 events worldwide in 2014. Team Novo Nordisk started back in 2006 with only eight members now it is composed of 100 athletes from 20 different countries. The reason why the compete each year is not only to educate people about diabetes but also to inspire people...

...(the peritoneum) that can be fatal unless it is treated quickly with strong antibiotics. 2. Estrela, age 7, has cereal with milk and sugar for breakfast, then walks to school. Explain the relationship between eating and walking, and remember that Estrela is breathing. Metabolism is the effort of the body that is the breakdown of substances to form energy. One source of energy is glucose. When glucose is broken down, the body synthesizes glucose and then stores it to use it in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). Carbohydrates are another source of energy our body uses. Carbohydrates are similar to glucose in the way they are broken down and stored to be synthesized later to be used when energy is needed. Estrela’s body will be in need of energy when she begins her walk to school. The body will begin the process of cellular respiration, which involves the use of ATP which then converts into the proper breakdown of glucose and simple carbohydrates...

...Herdell Serrano Prof. Patzold Comm. 120 February 19, 2015 Introduction I. As a young boy I would always see my dad poking some type of needle into his finger to get blood, and would wonder why he did that. He told it was because he had diabetes. He would always tell me to take care of myself, because our family has a history of diabetes. And it could be me that would be poking a needle in my finger. II. Today I am going to inform you about Type II Diabetes. III. I’m pretty sure many of you know about this disease, but today, I will give you more information about it. Hopefully you can use this information to get a better understanding of Type II diabetes. IV. So I will be talking about the causes, signs and symptoms, and treatment of Type II Diabetes. Body I. First, I will explain the causes of this disease. A. Type 2 diabetes develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas stops producing enough insulin (Web MD, 2015). 1. Insulin regulates the amount of glucose that is made within the body, and that glucose is the sugar within our bodies 2. If there is not enough insulin, the glucose cannot get in the cells and builds up in the blood instead and causes damage in many areas (Web MD, 2015). 3. At first, the pancreas makes extra insulin, but overtime, it won’t be able to produce enough to keep blood glucose normal (American Diabetes Association, 2015). B. “Even though not everyone with type 2 diabetes is overweight...
