Biological effects

the biological effects associated with their consumption remain shrouded in public misconceptions.1 As a result, the consumption of artificially sweetened beverages (ASB) has become the emphasis for many obesity and neurological related clinical studies. Does the consumption of aspartame have adverse effects

cardiovascular function, and other biological processes (Chevalier, Sinatra, Oshman & Delany, 2013). It was hypothesized that those who electrically ground themselves with the natural world around them would be in an elevated, happier mood. Findings from the research conducted did not support this hypothesis. Results were not consistent with the previous research conducted on the effects of grounding on the physical body; however, research on the psychological effects of grounding the body has not been

Biological development processes impact child development in various ways. Biological issues in development have been associated with genetic dispositions as children may be more prone to an anxious temperament and depression among other disorders if a history of the disorder runs in their family. In addition, abnormalities in the brain, prenatal difficulties, and birth complications can affect a plethora of mental processes such as speech, cognition, memory and language, which makes it harder for

Biological effects of Methamphetamines Maria B. Araiza-Chavez BEH 317 Peter Pingerelli October 26, 2010 Abstract Biological effects of Methamphetamines Methamphetamines affect the human body in a physical and neurological and psychological way. The use of meth can lead to devastating effects to the nervous system for example leaving the user with nervous ticks and body jerks similar to a person suffering from Parkinson’s disease. On a physical level, the user may show skin sores and

In attempt to try to live a healthy life, people today are relying on artificial sweeteners as being the way to go to lose weight. With this notion, the question still today is if artificial sweeteners are healthy. This paper will discuss the biological effects that artificial sweeteners have on a person’s body and to see whether or not consuming them causes more harm than good. Today a percentage of the population is addicted to sugar and over the years sugar has been given the bad rep that if

Biological Effects of Radiation Radiosensitivity DNA as main cellular target – Cellular role of DNA – DNA is a double helix molecule made up of two sugar phosphate backbones that are linked together at the bases: Adenine-Thymine and Guanine-Cytosine. DNA is responsible for cellular structure and function. Direct vs. indirect DNA damage – ** Direct damage - Direct ionization has charged particles such as alpha, protons, and electrons. Direct damage to the nucleus of the atom is the direct damage

In general, the primary effect of PEF on biological cells is the changes in the structure and the breakdown of cell membranes, which is mainly responsible for mass transfer, and several other metabolic activities in the cell (Ade-Omowaye, Angersbach, Taiwo, & Knorr, 2001). The cell membrane is considered as a capacitor filled with dielectric material of low electrical conductance, and accumulation of charges with opposite polarity in both sides of membrane form a membrane potential. However, when

The Biological and Social Effects on Sexual Orientation The origin and cause of human sexual orientation have been highly debated topics between sociologist and biologists. Most scientists believe sexual orientation is biologically determined while sociologists argue that it is socially constructed. There is a third belief that human sexual orientation is not solely biologically determined or socially constructed. From this belief come theories that combine both arguments, where human sexual orientation

causes the most damage to the biological and social health of an individual because, with tolerance, a person needs more of a drug in order to achieve the same effects they felt previously with smaller amounts. And with withdrawal, a series of symptoms that may appear when a drug on which a user is physically dependent is stopped or significantly reduced. The withdrawal symptoms vary depending on a range of factors including the drug type and tend to be opposite to the effects produced by the drug. The

mindset that the planet 's resources are ours for the harvesting was largely accepted. Without proper knowledge of the long term effects of taking materials from the planet, dumping unsanitized and toxic chemical mixtures into bodies of water, among other things humanity as a whole failed to preserve ecosystems of every kind. The result was the use of resources despite the effect it had on wildlife communities and ecosystems, as well as a lack of regulation which would soon cause problems for the government
