More People Obese Now Than in 2007
According to a CDC Special Report released Tuesday, the number of obese people in the US has increased by 2.4 million since the year 2007. In 2007, three states had obesity levels at 3% or more, compared to nine states with that percentage in 2010. No state has reached the goal of 15% set by the "Healthy People 2010" initiative. Medical costs linked to obesity has also increased since 2008. In 2008, the cost was $147 billion, it rises about $1,429 per person each year.
Obesity is a huge problem in the US. I didn't know the problem was so severe until I read this article. The costs related to obesity also surprised me. I had no idea that the costs were anything close to $1,429 per person. I think obesity takes a big toll on society as well. The only way we can fix this problem is if everybody puts forth their best effort.

In the article "Antioxidants aren't always good for you and can impair muscle function, study shows" is a article that explains that too much exposure of antioxidants. Scientists in K-State's Cardiorespiratory Excercise Labratory have been researching on how to improve oxygen delivery during physical activity with the exposure to antioxidants. The studies show that sometimes antioxidants can weaken muscle function. With lab studies of antioxidants being performed more and more, they have come to realize that antioxidants can sometimes back fire on you. Too much of a dosage of this medicine can in some cases make the problem worse. Antioxidants are a popular medicine that some people use in their daily lives. With problems being found in this drug, we might be seeing some recalls in it in the future.
In my opinion, this article is a very interesting and valuable for this time. Antioxidants is one of the most popular prescibed drugs in the world today and finding problems in it can really be valuable to someone who is using it. If problems keep occuring we might have a recall on this drug. If a recall was necessary many people will be in some trouble. I really hope that this problem stops soon and i hope scientists are finding a new drug that has the same effects as antioxidants; but making it not a antioxidant. Kinda like a coke to a pepsi. They are both different, but both do the same thing.

Air travelers now are required to go through a full-body scanner or a pat down as part of enhanced security measures added at Buffalo Niagara International Airport. A full-body scanner, which penetrates clothing to produce a detailed image of a traveler's body.
I think this full body scanner is a good idea because its much quicker and easier to make sure that the people are not carrying anything. Instead of getting a person to search and the person might miss something but the scanner wont since it searches your whole body. It will also make security more aware of whats going on around the airport.

This article talks about how smoking increases a persons stress levels, then actually calming the nerves over time. After someone has smoked for a long amount of time, they may cause themself to get sick and have to be hospitalized, which then will cause more stress to someone. Once someone has smoked for so long, they start wanting to smoke when their not, and this is only causing mental stress to someone. Studies where shown, when patients in a hospital where tested on their stress levels, seeing that smoking only made them worse when, all along they thought that it made it better.
My opinion on this article, is that there are other ways to handle your stress then by smoking. People get started smoking so young that it just comes something that they are used to doing and never really think about what it does to your body. I think that most people start smoking in their teens, because they think its so cool, because they see other people doing it. Personally I think that smoking is a gross habit, and does nothing but harm your body, and make you stink. So I would never smoke to relieve stress, there is someother way that you could do that.
