... another fat substitute, olestra, is different. Olestra can cause gastrointestinal distress and take vitamins and carotenoids out of the body. The new substitute does not have those affects. Inglett says that you should eat more of the kind of fibers that make up Z-Trim to reduce the chances of getting intestinal disorders. But there are some people who argue with Inglett's theory on his new substitute. "I wouldn't expect Z-Trim to have the same kinds of problems as olestra," says Margo Wootan, a senior scientist at the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, D.C. "Fiber is already found in our diet, while olestra is a synthetic chemical. Ther ...

... make the act of aborting the child just the same as removing an appendix. This problem of when life begins stems from the inconsistencies which come from the case of Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court interrupted that by the ninth and fourteenth amendments that a woman has the right to an abortion. The court that day, however, did not rule when a life begins for a human. If society is to assume that a fetus is a human the second it leaves the uterus, then what is the unborn baby three minutes from birth , a monkey. When an unborn baby is aborted, society must realize that an organ was not taken out, but a living human being. This would make abortion wrong because ...

... in the stomach wall. Eventually, the the churning action moves food out of the stomach and into the small intestine. The lever contributes to this digestive process by secreting into the small intestine, a liquid called bile. The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which further aids in dissolving food. The small intestine undergoes continual muscular contractions called peristalses. This action pushes food into the large intestine. This surface of the small intestine has a large number of threadlike projections called villi. The digested, liquified food is absorbed through the villi, and passes into capillaries that are inside the villi. Now the food is in ...

... immune response. Any agent perceived as foreign by a body's immune system is called an antigen. Several types of cells may be involved in the immune response to antigens. When an antigen enters the body, it may be partly neutralized by components of the innate immune system. It may be attacked by phagocytes or by performed antibodies that act together with the complement system. The human immune system contains approximately 1 trillion T cells and 1 trillion B cells, located in the lymphoid organs and in the blood, plus approximately 10 billion antigen-presenting cells located in the lymphoid organs. To maximize the chances of encountering antigens wherever th ...

... considering abortion are dealing with a range of problems and are only overwhelmed by criticism. Circumstances and conditions leading to the termination of a pregnancy can vary widely. Whether caused by rape, incest, or age and ignorance, an unwanted pregnancy remains an unwanted pregnancy. Abortion causes a woman to choose between her life or the potential child's. This is always a hard decision to make. It involves a lot of thought, and may cause guilt or regret after the procedure; but dismissing that right to choose would not benefit anyone. Pregnancy can have horrible affects on adolescents causing medical problems, nervous breakdowns and emotional distress. ...

... primitive surgeries were successful is unknown. The earliest way for man to observe the brain was by noticing brain damage to a particular area of the brain that was damaged. Such observations were first recorded some 5,000 years ago (Myers,1995). The most popular case is that of Phineas Gage a railroad worker that had severe frontal lobe damage. This happened when a rail road spike was shot through his head by a piece of dynamite. Miraculously he lived through the experience, but with a severe change in his personality. From this physiologists learned that personality was largely controlled from this point namely by removing a persons inhibitions. Fo ...
