Hormone Replacement Therapy: Do the Adversities Outweigh the Potential Benefits?
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of the contradictory evidence which exists regarding the benefits verses the adverse potentials of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)in menopausal women. While HRT is still touted by many professionals as advantageous in certain circumstances, these contentions are now being refuted in the case of new evidence which suggests that not only is it not effective in preventing bone fractures and reducing the risks of heart disease, there may be a small increase in the frequency of heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, and fatal strokes. There is also an adverse correlation between HRT and urinary incontinence, gallbladder disease, breast tenderness, and uterine bleeding, among other effects. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

How Diet Plans Are Deceiving
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. One says to eat only low-fat, low-calorie foods; another says to eat only the foods found within a certain group; yet another says to eat only the amount of food that equals the number of points one is allowed for the entire day; while still another advocates eschewing all of the above and consume only high protein, low-carbohydrate foods. Clearly, the myriad weight-reduction plans that exist throughout contemporary society are enough to confuse any potential dieter. The writer discusses how contemporary diets reflect the significant pressures placed upon those who are both impressionable and vulnerable. With the primary influence being that of popular culture, overweight individuals are faced with difficult choices when it comes to proper food choices and weight loss programs. Atkins is the focus of this paper. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
