Olestra / How Safe is Fake Food?
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper which looks at the controversy surrounding the use of this fat-substitute in producing snack foods. Olestra is a manufactured compound that can be used to replace regular cooking oil. Because it has molecules which are too large to be absorbed by the body, it provides the taste of regular fat without any of the calories. Zero fat, zero calories, but does it equal zero nutrition? The writer outlines the pros and cons of this issue with the conclusion that moderation in its use is the tactic which makes the most sense. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Osteoarthritis Information On The Internet
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The Internet has become an instrumental component in overall information, diagnosis and treatment of myriad ailments and diseases. While many of these sites are backed by reputable entities with strong ties to the medical
community, others have no such substantiation in connection with their advice. When assessing which web sites contain helpful, accurate and safe information, one must first establish the supportive body behind the location; if there
is no easily accessible and reliable underlying source, such as the American Medical Association, it would not be prudent to accept any advice from these sites as being trustworthy. The writer mentions ten pertinent medical web sites and
critiques four of them. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
