In fact, Dr. Atkins himself died suddenly some years ago, and while his public relations machine attributed his death to brain damage from a fall, the rumor has it that he had a massive heart attack, likely brought on by his own diet program (Miller, et al., 2000).
Scientific Understanding Relevant to the Issue
Approaching an exploration of the scientific knowledge that could be relevant to the low carb issue immediately opens up a heated debate, with low carb advocates pitted against those who feel that the alternative to low carb is more harmful than an few extra pounds from eating carbohydrates themselves. This being said, there are some areas of scientific knowledge which could help in the issue.
Admittedly easier said than done, the ability to understand once and for all if high protein diets, beyond the weight loss, are in fact safe would be very useful in enabling the individual to make an informed decision as to their choice of diet. In fact, however, the involvement of the individual, in and of itself, complicates things. It is safe to say that there is no one plan that is completely safe or deadly for all individuals; rather, the safety level can and does vary due to a multitude of body chemistry factors (Gabel, et al., 2002). Combining this with the questionable data that corresponds to the low carb craze's safety or lack thereof, and it is easy to see exactly how complicated the issue can in fact become.
Impact of Low Carb on the Future Food Supply and How the Supply Can be Managed
On the more quantifiable end of the spectrum of the low carb craze, it is enlightening to take into account what sort of impact low carb will have on the future food supply, and in turn, the question of how that supply can be managed comes into play.
If the assumption is made, for the sake of discussion, that low carb diets, for better or worse, become the norm in the 21st century, there are definite outcomes that the international food supply can expect. Generally, the demand for grains, rice, certain fruits and vegetables will surely decrease noticeably, because simply put, people will not be consuming and therefore not buying them (Cetron, et al., 2005). Conversely,...
Low employee morale, cultural and communication differences, technological equipment challenges as well as lack of team cohesion are some of the worst situation to ever affect an organization. These situations can critically impair the normal operations of an organization (Mawoli & Babandako,2011).In this paper, we present an elaborate investigation of these issues as well as how to tackle them within the context of a global hi-tech organization (a multinational) with
Low Cost Differentiation Preemptive Strength Brand identity Differentiate from other low cost providers to increase volume Brand identity commands a premium price, increasing margin Brand identity becomes identifiable with a specific niche Build brand identity quickly to reduce the threat of new entrants Weakness Lack of diversification Diversify into many products to promote volume sales Brand extensions Diversification is not part of this strategy. Diversification is key to opening new market opportunities. Opportunity Geographic expansion Increase volume Increase volume Increase volume Increase opportunities Threat High substitutability Inherent in the strategy -- low cost
The amount of carbohydrates, rather than the source, is the primary concern. Blood glucose levels are influenced by the food preparation process, the amount of food, sugar absorption and the combination of foods. Carbohydrate counting assigns certain carbohydrate grams or exchanges these with specific foods. Computations determine insulin need, which lead to a better control of blood glucose levels over a broad range of foods. Diabetics may even add moderate
Carbohydrate Loading You lead research scientist WooWoo Pharmaceuticals. As a research scientist, responsible testing efficacy newly designed drugs. However, recently assigned a task. Your task determine effect eating pasta marathon performance. WooWoo Pharmaceuticals: Research study on eating pasta (carbohydrate loading) before a marathon Carbo-loading before a marathon has been a staple of many runners' dietary programs. However, athletes are notoriously superstitious and frequently base their training regimes on anecdotes rather than sound science. The

Food Journal My food journal can be used as an anthropological tool, highlighting a number of different facets of my life. My background is that I am half-Turkish and half-Saudi, but grew up in Paris. So I have been exposed to a number of different types of food. I went through a period where I was unable to cook for myself, since I had no kitchen, but eventually I moved into
