...When you think back on when humans first began drinking cow’s milk, don’t you find it very odd? No other animals drink another mammals milk, but for some reason humans thought it would be a good idea to try cow’s milk. When I imagine us drinking cow’s milk for the first time, I imagine some crazy human who was incredibly thirsty that he was desperate enough to drink another animal’s milk. That person started a milk revolution changing the way humans lived all the way up to this minute as you read this essay where I will spill truth about what milk really does the human body. You may have heard that cow’s milk is some sort of “superfood”, one full of calcium and powers to keep you healthy. But milk actually does the complete opposite,after all cow’s milk was made for baby cow’s not humans. Milk is said to be a good source of calcium with 300mg of calcium per cup. But would you believe me if I said that cow’s milk actually increases the calcium loss in your bones? Well it’s true,cow’s milk weakens your bones and drains the natural...

...English 1020 22 April 2014 Milk or Meat and Their Pros and Cons There are many different drinks and different types of food in the world to consume. Water, soda, coffee, tea, juice, alcohol, or milk are some of the main choices of drinks and when it comes to food, there are just too many to list. With all the options of food and drinks, there is a lot of controversy when it comes to what is healthy for the human body to consume. There is some proven health benefits and many theories. There are also a lot of claims of negative health effects. This also goes for milk and meat. Milk does a body good, is the saying that’s been around for years, but is it? People eat and drink every day without someone thinking about if what they are ingesting is actually good for their bodies or just filling that empty stomach, which could have negative long term effects. Milk and meat have more positive effects on the human body than negative. In this essay is stated four essays on the pros and cons of drinking milk and eating meat and how the all the authors have convincing arguments In the article, Health Benefits of Milk, the author begins by explaining the bone health milk produces with being enriched with calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and protein, which are all essential for healthy bone growth. The author lists the known facts that have been proven over time. The author also explains the benefit milk has on the teeth. “The amounts of calcium and phosphorous in milk and dairy products are...

...Bovine Growth Hormone Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone or BGH is a drug manufactured by the Monsanto Company. This drug was produced to increase milk production in cows. The FDA approved BGH in 1993 for use in dairy farming, the usage of BGH began in 1994. After the first batch of milking it was seen that cows began to die (Wade, 1). The BGH was forcing the dairy cows to create milk faster then they could eat. This was causing their milk producing glands to extract calcium from the bones of the cows. This caused the cows to become weakened and fall down. It is also noticed that an increased occurrence of mastitis, which is an infection of the cows utters. (Wade, 1) The infection is cured by a regime of antibiotics, which make it into our milk. It is also seen that there is no legitimate use to BGH. In the United States there is a surplus of dairy products, meaning that with the use of BGH small farmers will be run out of business by the factory farms. They can produce larger quantities of milk and be able to sell them at lower prices. The production of the Bovine Growth Hormone in order to help the dairy industry has become a controversial issue since its usage approval. In today’s world being a socially responsible company is not only a trending fad but also it is almost a requirement by the consumers. Many companies have labels stating things like “dolphin free” or “BGH free.” The merchandisers use these labels to increase their sales with the socially responsible consumers...

...question is one of the first and probably the most significant decisions you will make as a new parent. Breastfeeding takes some time to learn for both you and your infant but is definitely worth the effort and time. Your choice to breast feed your newborn infant will affect his or her whole life, from birth throughout his or her adult life. There is no question that a mother truly wants the best for her children from the time they learn they are expecting their new bundle of joy. Breast milk has the perfect combination of proteins, fats, vitamins, and carbohydrates your infant needs. Breast milk is far more than good food. It is a living fluid that protects your infant from disease and actively contributes to the development of your infant. As mentioned by Arsenault (2011) breast milk not only provides the nutrition your infant needs but it also provides protection by supplying your infant his or her first antibodies and immunities. Breast milk aids in protecting infants against infection and disease. According to the La Leche League International (LLL) (2004) Infant mortality rates are higher among artificially fed infants, even in places where everyone has access to safe water and good medical care. Morbidity rates- how often babies get sick- are also higher among artificially fed infants in both the developed and the developing world. Breastfeeding is critical to infant survival and developing countries, and it plays a significant role in keeping babies health in families who enjoy...

...How Does the Supplementation of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) affect Human Fat Mass? Abstract Research Question: How does the supplementation of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) affect human body composition? Literature Review: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a family of geometrical and positional isomers of linoleic acid. The predominant sources of CLA are from ruminant animal fats (cow, dairy, sheep, goat, and deer). Over the past 20 years, CLA supplementation has produced positive effects in animal studies, such as significant body fat reduction, anticarcinogenisis, antiatherogenesis, immune modulation and improved bone health. Conversely, human studies have not produced all of the aforementioned results. Nonetheless, there have been many human studies supporting a minimal but significant body fat reduction. These results have been mainly attained with a 50:50 mixture of cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 of purified CLA isomers at various doses. There is evidence indicating that a dose of 3.0g CLA/day may lead to fat loss, whereas the average Canadian consumes between 0.1-1.5 g CLA/day. Therefore, a supplement may be warranted in the future, once further research has been completed on the efficacy and safety of CLA supplementation. Implications to dietetic practice: Clinical dietitians involved in research should experiment with various doses and isomers, but they should particularly investigate the long-term implications...

...MAJOR PRACTICE IN DAIRY PRODUCTION AND MILK PROCESSING By CHRISTIAN ANDREW J. PERALTA INTRODUCTION Importance of the Major Practice The Philippine local dairy industry is considered as a "repacking and reprocessing" industry because of the limited supply of dairy products due to the less developed dairy industries in the Philippines. It is greatly dependent on imported milk as raw materials, leading to continuous importation from Australia, USA and New Zealand. Philippine’s dairy milk production remains at less than one percent of total dairy requirements despite the continuing government and industry efforts to support and aid the increase of dairy production. Dairy farming goes back for thousands of years and has great difference in management process compare to today’s dairy farming. It was originally done on a mixed farm unlike in modern dairy production in which has specific dairy farm. ________________________ Undergraduate Major Practice Outline in Dairy Production to be presented as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, major in Animal Science from Central Luzon State University, Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija to be conducted in the Philippine Carabao Center, CLSU Dairy Farm under the supervision of Edgar A.

...very diverse family of large organic compounds involved in many important biological processes. Following their enzymatic hydrolysis during food processing or digestion, proteins may release fragments from their primary amino acid sequence. These fragments are called peptides, and many of them are known to be physiologically active. The possible beneficial effects of bioactive peptides have attracted increasing interest in recent years. On the other hand, there are also reports suggesting that some food-derived peptides might adversely affect human health. Among these, β-casomorphin-7 (BCM7), a peptide sequence present in the milk protein β-casein, has been suggested to contribute to an increased risk for certain non-communicable diseases, such as autism, cardiovascular diseases and type I diabetes. Some literature reports have proposed possible mechanistic explanations for such associations Recognising the alleged negative effect of BCM7 on human health, EFSA deemed it necessary to perform a comprehensive review of the published scientific literature in...

In a first world atmosphere most people see water as expendable, no regard to the harsh reality that millions do not have access to indoor plumbing or clean water. Because the first world population does not worry about the absence of clean water in their homes, they often do not understand the negative implications unclean water can have on a child. The absence of clean water in third world countries is compromising the health of millions of children. But why?

...Option A – Human nutrition and health Components of the human diet A nutrient is a chemical substance found in foods that is used in the human body. The nutrients needed in the human diet are amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and water. Metabolic fuel is often supplied from carbohydrates and fats, which are almost, always present in human diets but specific carbohydrates are not essential. * Metabolic fuel can also be supplied from proteins. Chemical energy is all the fuels are transferred into a required movement/action (contracting muscle) by respiration. * Combined nitrogen required for the building of proteins. They have to be hydrolyzed to their constituent amino acids for them to work. * Vitamins are organic compounds that are needed in a small amount but they cannot be synthesized by the body. Their absence from the diet can cause deficiency diseases. * Minerals are chemical elements that are obtained in an ionic form (Na+) also needed in a small amount. Major minerals are like calcium, iron and phosphate that are needed for the construction of body tissues or in metabolic processes. * Water is essential because 70-90% of the body is water. Vitamin C The daily recommended dose of vitamin C is 40mg for adults. Pregnant and lactating mothers more. These margin this high because: * To have a safety margin so the risk of scurvy is minimized. Some scientists argue that extremely large doses (500 mg per day) helped to...

...Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an immune mediated disease. It is a chronic condition that cannot be cured. This type of diabetes requires the person to self-medicate with synthetic human insulin. Juvenile diabetes can affect many organs in the body like the brain, heart, and lungs. A person can have mild to moderate signs and symptoms relating to the diabetes. There are several diagnostic tests that can help determine if diabetes is present. Having a healthy life style [The preceding two words are spelled as one word] and following a healthy diet can help maintain diabetes. Many famous people live with the disease today and are able to [Wordiness--"are able to" means simply "can"] live happy, normal lives. Juvenile diabetes is an insulin dependent disease, meaning people with juvenile diabetes are dependent on synthetic “human” insulin. Their pancreas no longer produces the insulin needed to survive so they have to use synthetic “human” insulin to replace what the body is not making. Synthetic “human” insulin is insulin made using genetic engineering, also known as biosynthetic recombinant “human” insulin. It is grown in E Coli. Insulin is what helps the glucose enter the body ["is what" is awkward. Adjusting for capitalization, try something like "Insulin helps the glucose enter the body"] ’s cells and what provides energy to the tissues and muscles. It works as a lock and key mechanism that allows sugar to enter the cells. Insulin works to lower the amount of sugar...

...metabolic disease in which a person has high blood sugar. This can happen either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because the cells in the body do not respond to the insulin that is produced. Insulin is the hormone that unwinds the cells of the body, allowing glucose to enter and fuel them. Type 1 diabetes results from the body’s failure to produce insulin. This type of diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. Another name for this type of diabetes is juvenile diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In this type either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin the body produces. Another type of diabetes is Gestational diabetes, which only occurs in women because it shows up during pregnancy. (Schütze, Rix, Laws, Passey, Fanaian & Harris, 2012) Diabetes can be a serious lifelong disease; which can lead to heart attacks, kidney failures, blindness, and even death. Type 1 diabetes also known as juvenile diabetes is characterized by the body’s immune system destroying insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Insulin helps the body store Glucose (sugar) in the body. This being said the body cannot regulate blood sugar, and glucose levels rise in the body. Type 1 diabetics need to regulate their blood sugar by taking insulin shots and like both forms of diabetes regulating what is eaten. Because their body is not producing enough insulin they need to take insulin shots to live. This type of...
