summary
30 million wemen and 40 million men suffer from thining hair but they dont want to talk about it. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, wemon loose there hair or start have "thining" to there hair by the age of 40. People think that the reason for thinning hair is because of shampooing to much and wearing hats quite often. The most positive way to keep hair healthy and most attractive is keeping your hands in it as much as possibe. the biggest cause of hair loss is clogs and blockages of the hair folical on the scalp and under the scalp.
opinon:
My opinion is that wemon should not worrie about loosing their hair. people should just let nature take its corse. All wemon are beautiful just the way they are. tyra banks has a bio campaign. bio stands for beautiful inside out. If everyone would realize their natural beauty tehn people would not have to worrie about natural things like hair thinning.

The article "Antioxidants aren't always good for you and can impair muscle function, study shows" is a article that our society really needs to pay attention to. In the article it explains that antioxidants can impair skeletal muscle function. Antioxidants is know for their benefits against fighting diseases. But sometimes antioxidants can slow down oxygen delivery during physical movement so the antioxidant drug kinda back fires. Scientist are still studying the affects of antioxidants but they are still one of our worlds best drugs!
In my opinion this article was pretty interesting to read. It shows that antioxidants can do miracles for us, but can also harm us. This drug is kind of a bitter sweet kind of thing because it can work in one region of our body, and hurt another part. Antioxidants are used to fight and prevent diseases from occuring and some people need them in their every day lives. I hope our scientist can prevent this drug from back firing and keep in our daily lives.

Weight lifting muscles

This article is talking about when you lift weights you are lifting all of the different muscles in your body.You are lifting the muscles such as the Trapezius, Rhomboideus minor and major, Levator scapulae, Serratus anterior, Pectoralis major and minor, Teres major and minor, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, and Subscapularis. These muscle are the main and important muscles in your body.The Trapezius looks like a quadrilateral and raises the shoulder blade or depresses it and raises the collar bone. Also the Rhomboideus is a diamond shaped muscles between the two shoulder blades.Your Terete muscle is a long and narrow muscle that starts from the scapula and is inserted onto the humeras.
My opinion of this article is that you need to know what muscles you are using when you are lifting weights.If you dont know which muscles you are using that is bad because you dont know what you are trying to build up in your body.It is best for you to find out which muscles you are using by reading up on the muscles in your body.But over all this article was good because now i know about these types of muscles in your body.So if you need to know anything about the muscles you are using in your body while you are lifting weights go to this article.

AIDS.

Every day, 7,500 people worldwide are newly infected with HIV; 2 million died of AIDS in 2007, the U.N. agency UNAIDS estimates. Announced on Sept. 24, 2009, that there is now a vaccine that help prevents the HIV/AIDS infection. Many scientists before thought this would never be possible due to the many unsuccessful tries before. "Today marks an historic milestone," said Mitchell Warren, executive director of the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, an international group that has worked toward developing a vaccine.
The Thailand Ministry of public health began this study. They used strains of HIV that were commonly found there. What worries them is whether this vaccination will work with other HIV viruses found in the US, Africa, and else where the deadly disease is found. When studying the vaccination, they took the “prime-boost” approach, meaning the first one primes the immune system to attack HIV and the second one strengthens the response. The vaccination includes ALVAC from Sanofi Pasteur, and AIDSVAX originally developed by VaxGen Inc. ALVAC includes canary pox, a bird virus altered so it’s not to harm humans. AIDSVAX contains a genetically engineered version of a protein on HIV's surface. The vaccines are not made from whole virus — dead or alive — and cannot cause HIV. What scientist also wonders is how long this vaccine will last. Whether one may just have to get one shot or will booster shots be needed after the first shot is needed. This study was performed in Thailand because U.S. Army scientists did pivotal research in that country when the AIDS epidemic emerged there, isolating virus strains and providing genetic information on them to vaccine makers. The Thai government also strongly supported the idea of doing the study

Kaseem

The college of William and Mary will be conducted a human cadavor lab. The college has had cadavores examined for over 40 years. Students are thought in class for hours a day before working on real cadavores. A local Virginia medical examiner's office donates the bodies to the the college in the name of science. I feel that it is very essential that the students are informed about the human body before conducting a live experiment. Research on cadavores can help with further medical research in the future. It is important that students not only read about the body but to also do live experiments, in order to help them when they enter the working force.

Why the craving for cocaine won't go away?

People that has used cocaine have a great risk of becoming addicted, Evan after long drug-free periods. Colleagues point to a specific molecule in the brain that targets treatment to prevent relapses. Drugs are addictive because they "hijack" the brain's reward system. The "hijacking" is long-lived and often leads to relapses into abuse when the individual is exposed to. The part of the brain called , striatum, plays a major role in relapse.


MY OPIONON : " I agree with the statement that drugs are very addicted ,and that it hijack the brains and mess with the mind. Drugs cause people to relapses. Cocaine can mess up the system of the body
