Down syndrome

People with Down syndrome usually have a life span shorter than normal.Down syndrom was named after John Longdon Down,who characterized the syndrome in 1866.What causes Down syndrome? Normal human has 23 chromosomes pairs.They are numbered from 1 to 23.
So all together normal human has 46 chromosomes.People with Down syndrome have instead of 46 chromosomes one more chromosome number 21,so instead two chromosomes 21they have three chromosome 21.This condition is called trisomy 21. Trisomy 21 is the most common chromosome number abnormality. People with Down syndrome exhibit varying mental retardation. However,some individuals with the syndrome live to midle age or beyond,and many are socially adept and able to hold jobs. A few women with Down syndrome have had children,though most people with the syndrom are sexually underdeveloped and sterile.

Health

Low-fat diet . Before beginning a low-fat diet, it is important to understand that some fats are essential for good health. Fat is necessary for storing energy and absorbing certain vitamins. A diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol will yield the best health benefit. Keeping track of how much fat is in our diet, we need to know read nutritional labels on the food we buy. Low-fat diet should include no more than 65 grams of fat each day. To loose weight ,it is necessary to exercise enough to burn more calories than the body consumes. Eating in smaller, more frequent portions is important. Simple changes like switching to skim milk ,avoiding fried foods,and substituting traditionally high-fat dairy products such as sour cream and cream cheese with fat free version or yogurt helps with low-fat diet. In low-fat diet many people mistakenly believe if they eat only foods labeled low or reduced fat that they are following a low-fat diet. In low-fat diet less than 30 % of a pearson's total caloric intake should come from fat. People attempt to eat a low fat-diet to lower total fat and cholesterol to reduce health risk such as heart disease and also to achieve weight loss.

Carbon is basic of life.

Carbon is a sixt element in periodic table with atomic weight 12.01. Carbon plays important role in almost every biological process required to make our lives possible. Carbon is nonmetal element usually black but it can be clear and colorless.All forms of carbon are solid in room temperature. Carbon plays very important role in organic chemistry. Carbon makes four covalent bonds in his compounds and create carbon chains of varios lenghts and configurations. Carbon is an important part of natural polymers. Polymer (macromolecule) is a large molecule compoused of repeating structural units typicaly connected by covalent chemical bonds. Natural polymers occure in plants and animals and are very essential for life. For example,proteins constitute much of animal body , nucleic acids control heredity of molecular level and cellulose provides food ,clothing and shelter. Examples of natural polymers:starch,cellulose,protein,silk,wool,rubber. Cellulose is in plants. Starch is in potatoes,corn,rice and grains. Starch and cellulose are made from sugar (glucose)and they act differently. Starch dissolve in water but cellulose not. From starch we make food and from cellulose we build things and make clothing. Protein is a polymer we are made from.

microbes in our everyday life

Microbes are an essential part of all life on earth. Microbes were used for centuries to provide us with food through fermentation. We can't imagine life without a bread. Bread is a result of microbial fermentation of sugars to produce carbon dioxide, that make our bread rise. Yogurt and cheese are produced by fermentation of lactose, the sugar in milk. We make our beer and wine with help of microbes. Microbes converting sugars into alcohol for our consumption. Microbes such as phytoplankton also serve as a nutrient source that indirectly feeds all marine animals.

HAARP

HAARP(high-frequency active auroral research project). Its purpose is to analyze the ionosphere and investigate the potencial for developing ionosphere enhancement technology for radio communication and surveillance purposes.But what is a real motive??? Many people think HAARP camouflages the worlds biggest weapon ever created.It's potencial is worse than nuclear bomb.The world have allready experience with atomic bomb and everybody knows, that there are people they are able to do anything for their own profit. Despite warnings and protests it's going ahead anyway.Wake up our skies are being programmed, and we are not far behind.

swindle in science medicine.

Main stream media called it the biggest swindle in history of science medicine.
Dr.Scott Reuben, a former member of Pfizer Inc.'s speakers' bureau admitted he was falsifying his medical research papers. He accepted $75.000 grant from Pfizer to research the effectivness of pain medication CELEBREX. In this study no patiens were actually enrolled. This research suported the conclusion that CELEBREX was effective in helping patients who had recieved a particular type of knee surgery. All this study was published in the medical journal "Anesthesia & Analgesia". After this swindle journal had to retract some papers writen by Rueben, medical experts at the time said at least 21 journal articles by the Reuben appeared to be fabricated.Reuben was inventing his data for 13 years. Now he is facing 10 years in prison and $250.000 in fine.(www.theday.com/article/20100115/NWS01/100119833/1047)
