...On of the most common questions about the Paleo Diet is whether of not it is a low carb diet. They fast answer is yes and no. There are different variations of the Paleo Diet. However, they are all based on the idea of eating like a "caveman". The diet plan is based on scientific evidence showing that humans evolved to eat certain types of foods, and just because certain vegetation is eatable does not make it good to eat. Does that make sense to you? The evident shows that many diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, were almost nonexistence before humans began widespread farming and the domestication of plants. Our biology developed based on the foods we ate as hunter-gatherers, not the foods we started eating after becoming farmers....

...Fa"Fad diet" is a term of popular media, not science. Some so-called fad diets may make pseudo-scientific claims. According to one definition, fad diets claim to be scientific but do not follow the scientific method in establishing their validity. What is a fad diet? There are many different definitions of what a fad diet consists of. One definition is any weight loss plan that quickly gains popularity and may become unpopular just as quick. A more specific definition is any weight loss program or aid that promises to produce dramatic weight loss in a very short amount of time. Each type of fad diet varies in the amount of food that is restricted and what types of foods may be restricted. Are fad diets healthy? The basis of these diets is usually a very restricted diet that may even eliminate certain food groups all together. Research has shown that in order to obtain the amount of nutrients our body needs on a daily basis we must consume a balanced and varied diet. Fad diets do not allow consumers to eat a well-balanced diet in most cases which causes the lack of nutrients to the body. In particular, the diets that eliminate certain foods from a person’s diet completely put the person at risk for nutrient deficiencies. Many of the diet authors will suggest that consumers take daily supplements to make up for the lost nutrients; however supplements do not provide all the plant chemicals and nutrients that our bodies need to function properly. Another risk of these diets...

...FIN 6406 A Financial Ratio Quarterly Trend Analysis of: Kellogg Co. Stock Symbol: K Listed on NYSE Exchange Prepared for: Dr. Edward Lawrence Department of Finance Florida International University In partial fulfillment of the requirements of Course: FIN 6406 By: Ana Carolina De Obaldía Rogemif Fuentes Cesar Giovanni Santos Fábrega Introduction For this project we decided to choose Kellogg’s Company (NYSE: K) to elaborate a financial quarterly trend analysis because it is a big, stable company with 108 years in the market and its products are sold in more than 180 countries worldwide. The ready to eat cereals first appeared in the late 1800’s when a group of vegetarians wanted to expand their food options and decided to create the wheat and corn flakes. It wasn´t until 1906 that Kellogg’s Co. entered the market and has stayed latent through many generations until these days. It is interesting that it survived two world wars and the depression of the United States in the 1930’s. Being this long in the market also means that they have known how to evolve in this world with constant changes, adapting to the behavioral changes in people and their likes remaining competitive and appealing. It is more of a mature company rather than growing company and has many brand-loyal customers. Regarding the sources of information consulted for this report, we used some financial websites to get the financial statements of Kellogg’s and its main competitor General Mills, which we will...

...Homo Erectus Through Paper The study of our evolution is very much an open book, which seems to me is having its chapters being written out of order and has no ending. Because we are trying to trace history that there is no history of, it is like we are trying to solve a mystery and the whole world is our crime scene, and oh yeah it's dozens of feet under ground! There seems to be theory after theory and many skeptics, but I believe it to be much simpler than it all seems. The first trace of humanity all comes back to Africa and that is where it all began, as the environment evolved so did we, into different species dependent on natural selection, ultimately ending with us, well for now. If you had what it took you would prevail, if not you died out. Once the woodlands begin to die we traveled to survive. Sure some probably stayed for others emigrated out of Africa to find better food sources. It is true with any animal that you follow the food. The findings at Dmanisi seemed to shake up what we thought was true at one point. Inside of layers of basalt and ash, a team of archaeologists found thousands of stone tools animal fossils and four skulls, two of which were considered "The Old Man and the teenager" (family ties). What was interesting about the findings was, one they seemed to be a hybrid between a Homo habilis and Homo erectus, and two their age! The layers of basalt and ash surrounding the fossils was 1.75 million years old. That's half a million years...

...You have just witness “bro science” in action. It’s wellintended. It can also be deadly. The difference between 5 grams and 5 micrograms, depending on the substance, can indeed be the difference between life and death. Where should one get such information? From qualified sources, of course. Not from your bro. Want to know about proper dosage? Look in the medical literature and find out what dosages have been shown through experimentation to render the desired effects. Want to know about a proper manufacturing method? Then you need to read technical manuals written by actual engineers. As much as possible, I’ve pointed you to more qualified sources of information than myself throughout this guide. I’ve deliberately left out information about dosages in order to force you to use this as a starting point rather than a definitive resource. At the same time, I’m obviously encouraging DIY experimentation. Allow me to clear up the apparent contradiction. See, I intend for this report to be, among other things, a bit of a shot across the bow of the troubled ship that is the nutritional supplement industry. Here’s a field that can do so much good but that exhibits so little true innovation. When anyone can privatelabel the same substandard supplements everyone else is selling and “win with better marketing,” it doesn’t seem there’s much incentive to raise the bar. The best way to shake up such a market is to educate the buyers. When consumers are aware of...
