 Sugar

PKGhatak,MD

No.14.


Sugar is sweet. Sweetness is a basic taste. We use several different sugars, such as glucose, Lactose, and table sugar, but the intensity of sweetness among sugars varies. Many chemicals also have a sweet taste, for example, Aldehydes, ketones, and sugar alcohols. Some chemicals are sweet even at low concentrations, such as Aspartame, Saccharin, Stevia, and Sucralose.

It is reported that motile bacteria move in the direction of sweets and newborn babies prefer sweeter sugars than lactose, a milk sugar, present in the breast milk. The sweet tooth is not just an expression; it has an ancient heritage.

In the earlier days, honey was only a sweet treat for humans. Agriculture brought cane and beet sugars, and food industries introduced artificial sweeteners, Saccharine and Aspartame, and generated the controversy regarding the risks of cancer using the artificial sweeteners.

We know Diabetes mellitus is a disease where the utilization of Glucose is defective.

In 1922, a pair of Canadians, a young surgeon, Frederick Banting and a medical student, Charles Best,  discovered Insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the Beta cells of the pancreas, which facilitates the entry of glucose into the cells. Insulin has saved the lives of thousands of diabetics. In 1923, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Banting and MacLeod for Insulin discovery.

This year, among several other unusual changes, like talks about denying birthright citizenship, the appearance of several Ads claiming sugar utilization can be improved by taking lemon plus one to six grams of cinnamon daily. The American Diabetes Association found no credible evidence of improving blood sugar levels with the use of cinnamon and dismissed the use of cinnamon in the treatment of diabetes.

No one knows how many diabetics were deceived by the TV talk shows and harmed by the unfounded claims of benefit in taking 6 grams of cinnamon daily. It is known that when a diabetic with abnormal liver functions uses cinnamon, it will further damage the liver.

Are you cheering the administration for eliminating funding of programs that provide Polio and Measles vaccine around the world, but allowing unlimited harmful Ads on the Internet !!

Eternity PKGHATAK, MD No. 25. Eternity. Eternity means forever. Eternity is not limited by constraints of time and “everlastingness” means forever, but within the boundary of time. In ancient Egypt, the Pharaohs made elaborate arrangements for an eternal life after death. The pictorial writings on the walls of the secretive burial chambers and their elaborate funeral books tell their stories of how a pharaoh accumulated wealth and man-power for his comfort for eternity in the afterlife. It is said that as soon as a new pharaoh ascended to the throne, he would start collecting money, gold, and valuables for that purpose; not unlike the Washington congressmen who s...

P.K.Ghatak, MD No. 5 Agatha Christi used arsenic 14  times in her crime stories.

Cult

   Cult PKGhatak, MD No.26 The last presidential election in the USA has given all three equal branches of the government to one political party. To the supporters of the other party and a section of independent-minded people, see this as an opening of a cult like atmosphere to develop in the US. The Supreme Court, by a large measure, allowed the recent curtailment of rights of the residents advanced by the administration to stay in place in the name of a timely review at a later date. The question should be raised about what one means by cult and are there have been any past incidents when cult culture caused great harm to human society. The rise of Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy, and their coming to power, led to the beginning of WW II, which is a testimony to the evil effects that cult culture and its adherent followers can do to human society. If we study the recent incidents of cult movements in the USA, we can find why and how leaders of cults come to pow...
