FACTS AND FICTION OF SUGAR CONSUMPTION

People who indulge in sugar-heavy diets are 70 percent more likely to develop pancreatic cancer than those who shun the sweet stuff. Drinking lots of soft drinks nearly doubles the odds. Possibly, frequent, large doses of sugar are toxic to cells, causing damage that leads to cancer.

Sugar makes you look younger
Fiction!
On the contrary, too many sweets can make your skin look older than normal. Sugar is attracted to collagen, a structural protein in the skin.

Anti-Gay Bill Is Passed in One of US States

Arizona’s Legislature has passed a controversial bill that would allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to deny service to gay and lesbian customers.
The bill, which the state House of Representatives passed by a 33-27 vote Thursday, now goes to Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican and onetime small business owner who vetoed similar legislation last year but has expressed the right of business owners to deny service.
“I think anybody that owns a business can choose who they work with or who they don’t work with,” Brewer told CNN in Washington on Friday. “But I don’t know that it needs to be statutory. In my life and in my businesses, if I don’t want to do business or if I don’t want to deal with a particular company or person or whatever, I’m not interested. That’s America. That’s freedom.”
As expected, the measure has drawn criticism from Democrats and business groups who said it would sanction discrimination and open the state to the risk of damaging litigation.
On Friday, the LGBT group Wingspan staged a protest march to the governor’s office that drew about 200 people. Some carried signs with messages “God created us all equal” and “Shame on Arizona.”
Tucson-based Rocco’s Little Chicago Pizzeria posted a photo on its Facebook page of a sign with a message for state lawmakers: “We reserve the right to refuse service to Arizona legislators.”
“It’s a ridiculous bill,” pizzeria manager Evan Stevens told CNN on Friday. “Arizona has much bigger problems than allowing businesses to discriminate against people.”
In a statement, Anna Tovar, the state senate Democratic minority leader, said: “With the express consent of Republicans in this Legislature, many Arizonans will find themselves members of a separate and unequal class under this law because of their sexual orientation. This bill may also open the door to discriminate based on race, familial status, religion, sex, national origin, age or disabilit

Why Is Boko Haram Stronger? Nigerian Armed Forces Claim To Have Refurbished Military Hardware

 

There are strong indications that the ongoing military operations against insurgents in the North-East may have been seriously hampered by lack of modern military hardware and the prevalence of aging equipment in the Armed Forces.

It was learnt that the military had been faced with the difficult challenge of using mostly refurbished military hardware in the critical campaign against the deadly members of the Boko Haram sect.

A good number of the military hardware in the country such as the Armoured Personnel Carriers, the Alpha Fighter Jets, the MIG Fighter Jets and the Helicopter gunships that were being used in the ongoing fight against the insurgents were acquired between 1979 and 1982 by the Alhaji Shehu Shagari regime.

A senior military source, on the condition of anonymity, said on Thursday that the successive military administrations that took over the governance of the country did not pay adequate attention to the importation of military tanks, fighter jets, helicopter gunships, APCs and other hardware.

It was further learnt that the situation persisted from 1999 under President Olusegun Obasanjo to the Goodluck Jonathan administration. It was gathered that Shagari had obtained the hardware to position the Nigerian Army as a force in the sub region.

The correspondent gathered that a good number of the APCs deployed during critical military operations against the Boko Haram insurgents had either failed to fire or had broken down in the middle of action.

Healthy mouth: Control diabetes to keep your smile

Do you know that diabetes can affect any part of your body?  Do you know that out of the estimated 20  million people that have diabetes, only two-third  of these individuals are diagnosed?   Studies have shown that oral infections tend to be more severe in diabetic patients than non-diabetic patients? And, do you know that this is because diabetics who do not have good control over their blood sugar levels tend to have more oral health problems.

 
But the good news, according to medical experts is that you can prevent most of these problems by keeping your blood  sugar under control, eating healthy, being physically active, working with your health care provider to keep your blood pressure and cholesterol under control, and getting necessary screening tests.
Most times, the question has been, how can diabetes affect my mouth? Too much glucose also called sugar, in your blood from diabetes can cause pain, infection, and other problems in your mouth. Your mouth includes; your teeth, your gums, your jaw and tissues such as your tongue, the roof and bottom of your mouth, and the inside of your cheeks.

Bob Marley: 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Jamaica’s Greatest Export

6th February this year would have been reggae legend Bob Marley’s 69th birthday.
Fans can only speculate what the Jamaican-born singer, guitar player and ambassador of all things reggae and Rasta might have accomplished if his life hadn’t been cut short in 1981 at the age of 36. As it stands, he is largely credited with putting Jamaica on the map, increasing both the island nation’s tourism and its many exports. Some go so far as to consider Marley a savior.

In honor of the legend’s birthday, here are 10 little known facts about Bob Marley:

10. Bob Marley was buried with a Bible. Most fans – and even some casual fans – already know that he was buried with his famous Gibson Les Paul guitar and some marijuana bud. However, Michael Burke of the Jamaica Observer recounts having seen the Good Book in the Jamaican legend’s other hand during his viewing.

9. February 6 is not Bob Marley’s birthday, at least officially. Sure, he was born on Feb. 6, 1945, but his mother had trouble registering his birth. Bob Marley’s official birth certificate lists April 6, 1945 as his official birth date. Of course, this shouldn’t

5 Reasons You Should Start Eating Onions

 

Onion is a member of the Allium family and is rich in sulfur containing compounds that are responsible for its pungent odor and for many of onion’s health promoting effects.

• Cardiovascular Benefits

There is evidence that sulfur compounds found in onion work in an anti clotting capacity and help prevent the unwanted clumping together of blood platelet cells. There is also evidence showing that onion’s sulfur compounds can lower blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides and improve cell membrane function in red blood cells as well. The benefits of onion in the overall dietary context extend to prevention of heart attack. The outstanding flavonoid content of onions supports these research findings.
 

• Bone and connective tissue benefits

Human studies have shown that onion can help increase your bone density and may have special benefit on women of menopausal age who are experiencing loss of bone density. Plus, there is evidence that women who have passed the age of menopause may be able to lower their risk of hip fracture through daily eating of onions.  In this research on bone density in older women, very rare eating of onion like once a month or less did not provide much benefit. Daily consumption of onion boosts benefits for bone density. So do not skimp on onions when you are incorporating them into your diet plan. The high sulfur content of onions may provide direct benefits to your connective tissue as many of your connective tissue components require sulfur for their formation.
