Obesity, Autumn and a Better
Understanding of Hell

Here are a few items you should find of
interest and if you live here in the desert where
fall occurs during the last two weeks of February,
you should also enjoy the fall foliage pictures.
Obesity
Costs $100 Billion
Who would have thought that this epidemic would cost
the economy so much?
Obesity is now costing Americans $100 billion in
health care expenditures, and causes more than
400,000 premature deaths each year. A number
of studies have demonstrated links between obesity
and a whole host of serious medical conditions, such
as:
 A
2007 study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School
of Public Health estimates that 74 percent of
American adults and 24 percent of American children
will be overweight or obese by the year 2015.
The current statistics show 66 percent of adults and
16 percent of children are overweight or obese.
The cause for the dramatic rise in obesity since the
1970’s is thought to include:
Are Your
Overweight or Obese?
The
World Health Organization and
National Institutes of Health use
body mass index as a clinical tool for assessing
obesity. To calculate your BMI, multiply your
weight (in pounds) by 703, and divide by your
height (in inches) squared. A BMI of 18.5 to
24.9 is normal, greater than 25 is overweight,
and greater than 30 is obese.
Lowering Cholesterol with Some TLC: Therapeutic
Lifestyle Changes
Most people think that if they are diagnosed
with high cholesterol that a prescription
medication is in their immediate future. This is
not necessarily the case given that there are
several non-pharmaceutical ways in which you can
lower your cholesterol. Unfortunately, most
people eventually end up on some type of drug
therapy to achieve their target goals. Any
treatment of high cholesterol first begins with
some TLC: therapeutic lifestyle changes. ...

Have you ever wondered
about the drugs you are
taking and what your MD
and pharmacist did not
tell you?
 Bursting the Diet Soda Bubble
Regular soda is bad for you – it’s full of sugar
and is packed with empty calories. What’s more,
consumption of soda has been linked to heart
disease, among other conditions. Think the
answer is switching to diet cola? Think again.
Results from the Framingham Heart Study,
reported in the research journal
Circulation, indicate that even diet sodas
increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Of the 6,000 healthy, middle-aged men and women
who participated in the study, those who drank
at least one soda (diet or regular) per day had
about a 50 percent higher risk of metabolic
syndrome (a cluster of cardiovascular and
diabetes risk factors).
Ground-breaking study links food additives to
hyperactivity in children
In a landmark study published in The Lancet, commonly used artificial food colorings and the preservative sodium benzoate have been strongly linked to hyperactivity in children, triggering renewed vigor in the decades-long campaign...

HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic
(gives off heat) or endother! mic
(absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of
their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas
cools when it expands and heats when it
is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the
following:
First, we need to know how the mass of
Hell is changing in time. So we need to
know the rate at which souls are moving
into Hell and the rate at which they are
leaving. I think that we can safely
assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it
will not leave. Therefore, no souls are
leaving. As for how many souls are
entering Hell, let's look at the
different religions that exist in the
world today.
Most of these religions state that if
you are not a member of their religion,
you will go to Hell. Since there is more
than one of these religions and since
people do not belong to more than one
religion, we can project that all souls
go to Hell. With birth and death rates
as they are, we can expect the number of
souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of
the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law
states that in order for the temperature
and pressure in Hell to stay the same,
the volume of Hell has to expand
proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster
than the increase of souls in Hell, then
the temperature and pressure will drop
until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me
by Teresa during my Freshman year that,
"It will be a cold day in Hell before I
sleep with you," and take into account
the fact that I slept with her last
night, then number two must be true, and
thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic
and has already frozen over. The
corollary of this theory is that since
Hell has frozen over, it follows that it
is not accepting any more souls and is
therefore, extinct......leaving only
Heaven, thereby proving the existence of
a divine being which explains why, last
night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
