...York and Boston may be located in the Northeast, but together they invariably suck up all the oxygen of the baseball world. Sure, Boston is the world champ, and we know that the Red Sox, New York Yankees and New York Mets have baseball's highest payrolls. But every spring, do we have to be subjected to all the talk about these teams? (I'm sick of it, and I'm a Mets...
...intangible. It may become something akin to a rite of passage - the choice of a romantic, affluent minority. In fact, some already see it that way. When his patients choose to give birth naturally, even to the extent of refusing painkillers, "it's like they're climbing Everest without oxygen," says Dr. Paul Tseng, a gynecologist at Singapore's Thomson Medical Center. "They feel very powerful." And so they should - even if the real climb begins after the baby is born, naturally...
...acting radicals are the hardest to scavenge, and, says Menelaos Papagiannopoulos of Germany's University of Bonn, in tests, açaí proved better at it than nearly any other fruit. According to a 2006 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, açaí boasts an ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) score more than 10 times as high as well-known antioxidant-rich foods like cranberries and wild blueberries. Famed dermatologist Nicholas Perricone calls it the world's No. 1 superfood...
...River, which then spills out into the Gulf of Mexico. Those chemicals help feed crops on land, but as they build up in the still, warm waters of the Gulf, they in turn feed excess growth of algae. When algae dies and decomposes, the process sucks much of the oxygen out of the water. A sea without oxygen is little different from the surface of the moon - nothing can live there. Fish and other sea life flee, or suffocate. That's the Gulf's dead zone, and last year it reached 7,915 sq. mi (20,500 sq. km) - nearly...
Another confounding issue in Hannah's case is the finding that she suffers from a mitochondrial disorder - a dysfunction in basic cell metabolism. Mitochondria serve as power generators for each cell in the body, converting food and oxygen into energy. There are a wide range of these disorders, causing symptoms that vary widely but can include muscle weakness, cardiac or liver disease, diabetes, developmental delays and susceptibility to infection. In Hannah's case, the vaccine court determined that the underlying dysfunction of her mitochondria put her at an increased risk of injury from vaccines...
