Customized Vitamin
Question: Are we just customized apes? Over the last few days I have posted the two links given below which beautifully deomsnstrate common descent between man and apes. (See links below)
If you take the time to read those links, you'll see that there are certain strucutres in our genetic code whcih can only be explained through common descent (as opposed to desgn). Specifically, there is no reason for either for vestigial genes, vestigial telomeres or a vestigial centromere to be present in our genetic code if we were designed.
A few times, I have gotten the counter argument that God could have reused DNA strucutres from apes when he made adam.. This argument strikes me as odd for two reasons.
First, the fact that there is no reason for God to have made apes and humans with a busted biochemical pathway for vitamin C synthesis or to have fused two chromsomos when making humans.
Second, if the argument is that God simply used recycled DNA to create humans, how is that any different from saying we are related to apes?

sam t, what is the reason then? I guess you could argue that deceit was the reason. Other than deceit, what possible reason could there be?
Jo, is that a cut and paste job? Whatever it is, It fails to lay out the assumptions used in making the calculation.
However, as near as I can deduce, it assumes that all five mutations have to happen at the same time. I'm not sure why that assumption is made. Perhaps you can clear this up for me.
Answer: Very true.
Besides, we were supposed to be made from dirt. If that is the case why are we carbon based instead of silica based?
Question: DNA and nutrition...? What do you think about using a person's DNA to customize a vitamin especially for them?
Answer: Not necessary. The basic biochemical reactions needed to live are the same for everyone--i.e., everyone needs the same vitamins. DNA is not relevant.

Any suggestions or ideas
Answer: What is Detox?
Detox, short for detoxification, is the body's natural, ongoing process of neutralizing or eliminating toxins from the body. Toxins (anything that can potentially harm body tissue) are transformed chemically to less harmful compounds and excreted via stools or urine.
Sources of toxins include those produced in the body during normal functions, such as the ammonia produced during the breakdown of protein, and chemicals such as pesticides, household cleaners, food additives, drugs, pollution, cigarette smoke, and heavy metals like lead that enter the body when we ingest or inhale them.
What is a Detox Diet?
Although detox is primarily thought of as a treatment for alcohol or drug dependence, the term is also used to refer to diets, herbs, and other methods of removing environmental and dietary toxins from the body for optimum health
There are many different types of detox diets. Generally, a detox diet is a short-term diet that:
Minimizes the amount of chemicals ingested (for example, by the use of organic food).
Emphasizes foods that provide the vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants that the body needs for detoxification.
Contains foods, such as high fiber foods and water, that draw out and eliminate toxins by increasing the frequency of bowel movements and urination.
Why do People go on a Detox Diet?
A growing body of research suggests that many of the chemicals we ingest daily through food, water, and air can become deposited in fat cells in our bodies. A diet that lacks certain nutrients may also impair our natural ability to detoxify chemicals, which further leads to their build-up in the body.
The cumulative load, called the "body burden", is thought to lead to illness and has been linked to hormonal imbalance, impaired immune function, nutritional deficiency, and an inefficient metabolism. Signs are thought to include indigestion, bad breath, fatigue, poor skin, and muscle pain.
Some private labs, such as Great Smokies Diagnostic Labs, offer tests that assess urine, stools, blood, and liver function. These tests are not standard medical tests and many medical doctors do not recognize them or consider them valid.
Benefits of a Detox Diet
People often report improved energy, clearer skin, regular bowel movements, improved digestion, and increased concentration and clarity after a detox diet.
Who Shouldn't Try a Detox Diet?
Anyone considering a detox diet should consult a qualified health professional and/or their medical doctor first.
Pregnant or nursing women or children shouldn't go on a detox diet. People with anemia, eating disorder, diabetes, kidney disease, thyroid disease, autoimmune disease, cancer, terminal illness, certain genetic diseases, and other chronic conditions shouldn't try this diet or should do so only under the supervision of their primary care provider. It is not intended for alcohol or drug detoxification.
Side Effects
One of the most common side effects is headache within the first few days of starting the detox diet, often due to caffeine withdrawal. For this reason, practitioners often suggest gradually decreasing the amount of caffeine prior to starting a detox diet. In addition, some people opt to take time off work to begin a detox diet or start the diet on the weekend.
Other side effects include excessive diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and electrolyte loss. Constipation may occur if people consume excess fiber without also increasing their fluid intake. Other side effects can include tiredness, irritability, acne, weight loss, and hunger. Any worsening of symptoms or new symptoms that occur during a detox diet should prompt a visit to a qualified health professional.
If a detox diet is continued for a longer time, it may result in nutrient deficiencies, particularly protein (some detox diets omit animal products) and calcium.
Getting Started
Fatigue, indigestion, cough, muscle pain, and poor sleep can be signs of serious illness. That's why it's important to see a primary care provider for a thorough assessment to ensure that any symptoms are not caused by a medical condition that requires immediate treatment.
Detox diet plans may include a special diet, herbs and supplements, hydrotherapy, exercise, breathing techniques and/or sauna therapy. Although more controversial, some detox programs include fasting, colon hydrotherapy, liver flush, and chelation.
Alternative practitioners usually recommend that people trying a detox diet for the first time opt for a gentle detox diet plan.
Some detox diets claim to target different organ systems involved in detoxification, such as the skin, liver, kidneys, colon, lungs and lymph system.
Alternative practitioners often can customize a program to suit individual needs.
How Often Do People Go On a Detox Diet?
Proponents of detox diets generally recommend one to two times a year to improve health and prevent disease.
Question: Where can I get nutritional information about dog/cat food? Between the new kinds pet foods that are customized to be like people food (ex. canned dog food with beef tenderloin, cat food meant to be like chicken florentine), and the awful state of our economy causing people to change their diet budget, I've decided to do my nutrition report on the positive and negative effects of animal food on people. Sure, its gross, but we all know that there are plenty of people looking at their dwindling checks and eyeing Rover's plate with economic envy, and the health risks of this need to be investigated.
Unfortunately, I've run into a road block regarding the way nutritional facts are given on animal food bags. Our information that is listed as Calorie, Fat, Carbs, Vitamins, etc.; animal food is listed as Minimum or Maximum Percentage of Crude Fat, Protein, etc.
Does anyone know of any sites that will list these ridiculously cuisine-inspired foods in standard human nutritional facts?
And sorry about posting multiple places, but I wanted to get a variety of answers.
Answer: Most higher-end pet foods (California Natural, Evo, Innova, Orijen, etc.) will have all of that information on the package. Many lower-end pet foods (Iams, Mighty Dog, Whiskas, etc.) have that information on the packages, but many don't. You might try company websites, since often they will supply more detailed information for curious customers.
For some examples, here's the Whiskas site with nutritional information about the Tuna Entree pouch food: http://www.whiskas.com/meal_time/purrfectly_fish/pf_tuna.aspx
If you don't want to buy a container of each type of pet food you'd like to examine, go to the store and write down the brands and flavors of the foods you'd like to check and then Google the brand name. They'll almost always have all of that information on their websites, and if it's not listed, they'll likely have a customer support number you can call to get that information.
You won't find ANY of that information in human standards, since what your dog needs, nutritionally, is very very different than what you or I need. It's more important to get a good protein/fiber balance than specific nutrient information, since dogs don't really need a specific supply of Vitamin C the way that we do, for example--they need fat and iron. Cats, especially, eat extremely high protein diets and so need foods that have a higher ratio of protein to fiber than dogs do.
It might be a good idea to hit up a specialty pet store, something that sells higher-end foods like Orijen and Innova. The employees there will probably have a better idea of specifics to look for than someone at a large chain store (I've worked in both kinds, so I should know!)
If you have any other questions about specific pet nutritional needs and what the pet food terminology breaks down as, there's a link for emailing me in my profile.
Question: I need to be someones dietitian? How do i do this? My DREAM and my passion is to one day be a dietitian, i'm 18 and i have this big old college book about how to plan meals and it goes in depth about nutrients and the molecule structure of vitamins and minerals and it's just REALLY in depth with information and it shows you how to evaluate someones past health problems to create a more customized eating plan, but the thing is, the books big and i need to get the ball rolling now, what i've learned so far in the book is to have them do a food log and to write down how much they eat, what they eat and keep track of what they're putting in their mouths, and then evaluating their eating habits when they return the paper and i look through what they have eaten. And i'm very excited about this cuz i get to have experience and i'll get a feel for what it's like to be a dietitian! So am i right about the 7 day eating log until i can read more on what exactly to do? By the way, i was trying to help my ex boyfriend with his weight cuz he's 190 when he should be 170 but when i told him what good foods to eat, he wouldn't listen to me, i was totally right and he'd regret stuffing himself cuz he felt bloated and he didn't wait that 15 to 25 minutes till the brain tells the stomach to stop eating, So now i have this friend and he wants me to help him, he's elderly, like in his 50's, he's not walking with a cane or nothing, he's just got white hair and he's got a big gut on him. what should i do?
Answer: There is drastically conflicting nutritional information from what you will find in that big old college book. If this is truly your passion & you plan on changing lives, I beseech you to search for the truth & not blindly regurgitate misinformation. I highly suggest you read Gary Taubes book, "Good calories, Bad calories" is an excellent book that dispels all the nutrition myths. I've included a link below to his article, "What if it's all been a big fat lie."
The USDA, AMA, ADA, AHA recommendations are in my mind, malpractice and based on faulty science. I followed those recommendations til my body quit functioning properly & I became desperate to find another answer. When I found an answer that was so completely opposed to the recommendations, I became angry. I have studied nutrition for years trying to weed out truth from fiction.
I feel confident that future research will prove in every part of the human body that fats regenerate & carbs degenerate. I know that has been true in my own body. My endocrine system was failing rapidly with a high carb diet and is now healing with a high fat diet.
25 years ago, the low fat era started, after centuries of the belief that fat was healthy and that sugar & starches created an unhealthy body. At that time high fructose corn syrup (a cheap sweet additive) was added to everything. 20 years ago started the obesity, diabetes, heart disease epidemics.
I wondered how not only educated persons but persons specifically educated in nutrition are promoting sugar (carbs) as a food essential to health but I now know that anyone that goes against the current regulations can lose their license and be sued for malpractice (even though what they are doing IS malpractice but it's accepted practice - sigh).
