Just Something You Should Know

Ingredients in The Akins Spicy Chicken Burger

What are we really eating?

ZINC OXIDE - Now, findings show that it causes cell death if eaten. Cell death can lead to muscle disintegration and cancer, among its many effects. Zinc oxide was twice as toxic in the form of small nanoparticles compared to larger particles of zinc oxide when the particles had direct contact with colon cells.

NIACINAMIDE-
-Potential eye effects from niacinamide include swelling in the macula, the central area of vision, and toxic ambylopia, or lazy eye. If you suddenly notice a change in vision, see your eye doctor immediately.

-Niacinamide may have some benefit in prolonging the "honeymoon period" in type 1 diabetes, the time period when the pancreas still makes some insulin. At larger doses, this vitamin may raise blood glucose levels if you have the more common type 2 diabetes. Niacinamide may also decrease insulin sensitivity in people at risk for developing insulin-dependent diabetes,

-Large doses of niacinamide can also have toxic gastrointestinal (GI) effects beyond liver disease, including an increased risk of developing stomach ulcers. Common, less serious GI effects include gas, bloating, nausea, diarrhea and stomach upset. Signs of stomach ulcer include abdominal pain, blood in the stools or vomiting blood. Niacinamide can also worsen gallbladder disease.

-Cause liver problems

FERROUS SULFATE (Iron)-

Your stools will turn dark; this effect is harmless. Your teeth may stain from the liquid; mix each dose with water or fruit juice. You may clean your teeth once a week by rubbing them with a small amount of baking soda.

Tell your doctor if either of these symptoms is severe or does not go away:

• constipation
• stomach upset

COPPER GLUCONATE- 
-One of the most toxic forms of copper to ingest.
- Helps Hair growth. But your trying to satisfy your hunger not your hair.
- Copper gluconate isn't a peptide, it's a copper salt. There is no peptide sequence in there at all!
- Copper salts would be very irritating and toxic if applied to your skin/scalp. They're not beneficial at all.


Rest Of Ingredients (All We Really Need)-

Chicken Breast W/rib meat
Veg Protein
Vitamin A Palmitate
Egg
Milk
Soy
Wheat

Now If you are still eating school food after this then I don't know what to tell you.

Intro to Newspaper Design

1. What is your favorite newspaper front page? Why?
   

   Daily Sitka Sentinel
   Sitka, Alaska 

   This Is My Favorite because it is very Informational
   
   
   

2. What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it?  

   "Senate Votes Down Gun Restrictions" This is my favorite because the reason the government wants to take ours guns is so we will be defenseless against them. One MAIN reason its legal for us to have guns is just in case the government trys to pull something like martial law or something. They're scared of a revolution.
    

3. How many stories are on the front page of your favorite? 

   7
   

    

4. What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of photos, size of story text, etc.

   They have the same fonts and colors which is black and white. The only thing different is the positioning of the photos and words.
   

    

5. What are things that vary (or are different) on the front pages of different newspapers? Look at design, size of photos, size of headlines, etc. 

   Nothing besides the positioning of the photos and words.

I think this was the best song of 2012 in my opinion because me and my friends listened to it all the time and had alot of fun chilling to it. The song puts you in your mood forreal. It came out late 2012 but its still a 2012 song its all good.

The Best Movie Of 2012

Spirited Away

This was my favorite movie of 2012 because it was so creative. You have to watch it to understand what i mean but i think this was the best one in my eyes. It didn't come out in 2012 but it still was my favorite of 2012. I watched it like 4 times in a row and i still can. Its one of those movies i can put on replay.

 The Most Important News Story Of The Year

  Obama Wins The Election

 


 I think that this was the most important thing of 2012 because if Mitt Romney would have won, he would have been another george bush. I think the country is going down anyways but who knows what could happen. But yeah thats probably the most important news of the 2012. But Ron Paul would have been the best president between both of them.

The Most Important Person Of 2012

Jesus

I think this is the most important person of 2012 because hes a strong idle of my religion and he protects me all the time and he died for my sins. So he is probably one of my best people of the year 2012.

Favorite Photos of 2012

 This is my favorite photo of 2012 because its very unoriginal. I like things that are outside the box

 
This is my 2nd favorite photo of the year because those headphones are nice and i have been seeing it everywhere. To see a music artist wear headphones is pretty cool
