...people do not know the recommended intakes for the kinds of fat, cholesterol and fatty acids, while some choose to ignore them. According to the dietary reference intakes, individuals should have about 20-30% of total calories. For a 2000 calorie diet, individuals should have around 400 to 700 calories of total fat. Total fats include saturated fat and trans fat. Saturated fats include butter, creams, skin of meats and meats such as, bacon, sausage, bologna, ribs and hot dogs. Some of the saturated fats I have are cheese, ice cream and chocolate. These saturated fats have a large amend and the portion of these foods should be minimized greatly. For saturated fats, individuals need intake less than 10% of calories. To help reduce saturated fats people need to reduce solid fats which are pizza, cheese and grain based desserts: pies, cookies, brownies, donuts, etc....

...Saturated and unsaturated are similar and different because saturated fat is, A fat that contains only saturated fatty acid that is solid room temperature, and comes chiefly from animal food products. And unsaturated fat is, A fat is lipid at room temperature and comes from a plant. Examples of a saturated fats is cheese, butter, chicken, etc. Examples of unsaturated fats are peanut oil, olive oil, vegetable oil etc. The difference between saturated and unsaturated fat is saturated fat is fatty acids at room temperature and there a solid. Eating foods that contains a lot of saturated fats is bad for body because the level of your LDl(Low-density Lipid protein) goes up. ‘’When you consume saturated fat, The level of low-density lipid protein cholesterol or LDLs increases’’, Most foods people eat have saturated fat in it. It's bad to eat a lot of saturated fats because you can gain weight and you can...

...is not caused by a high saturated fat intake as there has never been concrete evidence that supports the idea. Many studies have focused on the relationship between saturated fats increasing cholesterol levels and ultimately leading to heart disease. However the theory came about from the results found when giving herbivorous animals an increased amount of saturated fats in their diet (Rosch 2008). Since this theory came about from this experiment it has just been believed to be true despite the fact that it wasn’t even based off of an experiment involving humans. Such negative results can be understood to be caused by the fact that as herbivores their saturated fat intake is relatively low as they don’t consume other animal protein which contains a fair amount of saturated fat whereas most human as omnivores do. Rather than realize that the increased introduction of something that isn’t a main part of the diet in any species is bound to have negative effects the idea has been promoted by those with power that bring profit to others who help promote it (Rosch 2008). For as long as the saturated fat heart disease relationship has been studied throughout various populations around the world countless contradictions to the original theory have been found however often times such conflicting data get ignored to make the original theory appear more true than it is in reality (Rosch 2008). Moreover opponents with experiments and claims against saturated fat causing heart disease often...

...of how one thing led to another. Hydrogen is found to be the most abundant element in the universe (97%) and comprises the core of most stars. Stars are seen as fusion furnaces forming (creating), at the least, the elements of the periodic table up to iron. Science finds that 99.6% of the human body is comprised of 11 elements. 54 trace elements make up the rest of the body. We are made of star dust. Each atom in our bodies is at least 5 billion years old. I wonder where all they have been in that time. This is one big reason to start teaching the Periodic Table of Elements in the 1st Grade. Start with 5 elements that they encounter everyday: Oxygen (air) and Hydrogen (water); add Carbon and make carbon dioxide, carbohydrates and fats; add Nitrogen and you've got proteins; and for brushing those teeth we'll add fluorine for the fluoride in toothpaste. Each year add new elements and processes that make our bodies, our world, and the entire universe work. No fear, no confusion, no intimidation.

...Isotopes are variants of atoms of a particular chemical element, which have differing numbers of neutrons. Atoms of a particular element by definition must contain the same number of protons but may have a distinct number of neutrons which differs from atom to atom, without changing the designation of the atom as a particular element. The number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus, known as the mass number, is not the same for two isotopes of any element. Components of nucleic acid 1). DNA = deoxyribonucleic acid - genetic material that stores information to synthesize proteins and to replicate new DNA. The genetic code is based on four nitrogen bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), cytosine (C). A bind with T and G binds with C.2). RNA = ribonucleic acid - helps in synthesizing proteins. There are three main types of RNA.a. mRNA - messenger RNA, copy of the DNA, sent out into the cytoplasm. Contains the genetic code for making proteins.b. rRNA - ribosomal RNA, building site for proteins. Reads the mRNA and allows the right tRNA to bring in the right amino acid.c. tRNA - transfer RNA, brings the right amino acid to the rRNA.3). ATP = adenosine triphophate, Adenosine is made from adenine and a 5 carbon sugar. It is the energy source for all living organisms cells.What is the function of carbohydrates? Carbohydrates provide the body with a source of fuel and energy that is required to carry out daily activities and exercise. Any extra energy is stored...

...technology-intensive and competition from developing countries with their low production costs keeps increasing, farmers are forced to increase the productivity, but keep the costs reasonable for the market. Staying in business may become very challenging for small farmers who use traditional way of feeding cows and raising them on pasture. At the same time efficient way of production does not always mean environmentally friendly or health conscious way. The recent researches showed that the products of the farms that practice low input or organic dairy production system tend to be healthier than the same products manufactured conventionally. The main argument of the study states that organic milk contains more “good” fatty acids (saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat acids). Nowadays the contribution of these acids to the rise of heart diseases more recently is being questioned because the components of the fatty acids have a positive influence on health meaning that they reduce risk of serious diseases such as cancer, etc. The article compares the concentration of the fatty acids in organic and non-organic milk. There were 109 milk samples from 10 typical organic and 10 non-organic farms and 5 farms that use low input production system due to economic reasons. The equal number of both types of farms was chosen from two different areas, North East England and South West Wales. Another 5 low input farms were located in South West Wales. Such diversification avoids climate bias due...

...and how and why was it altered. Later in my paper I discussed how speaking with a butcher I found out that the beef was not grass fed, but corn fed which Kiernan discussed in his search for why some of us become sick and others do not. We must always make sure to read labels on the beef that we purchase and consume if we want to be healthier. DiGiuseppe, G. D. (n.d.). Retrieved from http://www.americancattlemen.com/articles/corn-fed-vs-grass-fed This article discusses the prospective of the farmer. Many farmers believe that all the information out there is contracting itself. One article states that grass fed beef is the best beef full of Omega-3 fatty acids but then the other article says that the beef is lean and does not contain much fat. Researchers from Texas A&M also stated that the grass fed beef is not as healthy as they would...
