when can antibiotics be used in animals

to treat an animal if they are sick, treat a group of sick animals, and prevent sickness if animal is at risk

food biotechnology benefits and new regulation

combine plant sciences with genetics, benefits the population, better nutritional value, resistance from time and viruses, alleviate world hunger

foodway

all aspects of food including what is edible, the role of certain food in a diet, how it's prepared, use of it, the # and timing of meals, how its eaten, and health benefits related

what is dietary aculturations-

eating patterns of people who move change to resemble those of the host country

Alzheimer's diet research

Mediterranean-lower risk of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's

b12 in relation to elderly

RDA is unchanges, gastric acid goes down and freeing b12 from protein is decreased so supplements are recommended
