DIETS, MOLECULES AND OBESITY: PART II
This is the second part of a three-part series. It deals with the fact that most obese people are so because of a genetic susceptibility. The susceptibility is brought about because our genes have not evolved to be adapted to an environment in which there is easy access to food rich in energy and very little need of physical work to obtain it.

How a Bio-oxidation Plant Works
Bio-oxidation treatment is a final step in cleaning excess process water or waste ammonia liquor that originates from coke oven gas produced during the coking process. In this process, phenol and thiocyanate are "eaten" (oxidized to carbon dioxide and water) by bacteria at a bio-oxidation plant. The treated water can then be sent to a sewage treatment plant where the remaining ammonia is "eaten" by yet another strain of bacteria and made safe to discharge into a river.

Oxidative Stress and the Neuropathies
NAC - N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is effective in the treatment of HIV and the related symptoms that stem from this disease. It is also possible that due to the many similarities of most aspects of HIV and the Neuropathies - that there is common ground here and that the solution to one may be also the solution to the other. Thus - an introduction to the presence of and the current research involving NAC.
