Is diet coke safe for us to drink?
For almost any health related topic, you will find one tribe who will launch into lengthy cribs about the latest studies and what they show. In trying to dig out diet coke cons, it was quite evident that it inspires fierce devotion amongst it fans. So what's the debate all about? It all boils down to aspartame, the sugar substitute that is used in diet cokes. It's that magic wand that converts your drink into a mere calorie or even less. But are these artificial sweeteners totally risk free? No, obviously not. There have been reams and reams written about the hazards of consuming aspartame long term. Some say its carcinogenic, it can it cause memory loss, brain damage etc etc. A recent study done earlier this year in New York suggested that people who consumed diet coke were more likely to get heart disease than those who abstained. Around 2500 people were tested. But it failed to establish a direct link stating that people who drink the diet coke, are also more likely to be eating a pizza, a burger or fries that accompany the diet coke. So one could be stretching facts if we were to blame diet coke alone. Fair enough.

The participants were assessed on the so-called big five personality traits - openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism - as well as 30 subcategories of these traits. They were also weighed and measured over the course of the study. Although people tend to gain weight as they age, the study found those who are impulsive were the most likely to be overweight. People who scored in the top 10 percent on impulsivity weighed an average of 22 pounds more than those in the bottom 10 percent. Previous research has found that impulsive individuals are prone to binge eating and alcohol consumption. These behavioural patterns may contribute to weight gain over time. Add a comment |
Sex education in childrenWhen does he become aware about himself ?
Around the age of three, a child becomes aware that he is a boy or she is a girl. He becomes aware that he has something extra, which his sister does not have. Similarly, a girl is aware that she lacks the appendage, which her brother has. Tell them that there is a difference, and to reassure them, tell them the boy will grow up like his father and the girl like her mother.
