Caffeine Inhaler is a dangerous Drug

Aeroshot is an over the counter drug that is packed with B vitamins and caffeine powder that resembles the shape of a lipstick tube. This caffeinated drink has zero calories and unlike their competitors does not contain chemicals like taurine or glucuronic acid. Aeroshot gives its users a one-time dose of 100 milligrams of caffeine with equivalence to 2 cups of coffee. This product is absorbed throughout the mouth and digestive tract to give the same effect throughout the body creating a stimulant in the mind that makes the user want to drink until they are unable to control themselves. This aerosol product delivers a thin powder into the air but is dissolved in the mouth for the effect to take place.

              

Although Aeroshot claims that the product is safe but should not be used by children under the age of 12 because of the high dosage of caffeine. Because of similar concepts in the past with identical effects, it stirs up high concern for the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) because the products have tied to hospitalization and deaths in the past. Another health risk that raises eyebrows is that is can create neurological and cardiovascular problems.

            In the past there have been many attempted alternatives to drinking coffee. Alongside with coffee, other products offered to create the same effect are caffeine pills and energy drinks. These products are heavily utilized but not as much as coffee because people prefer to drink the coffee, possibly because of the psychological elements that make people feel like their not using drugs. Aeroshot will be shipped from Europe and sold in Boston and New York first and also online in January of 2012. The product will sell at about $3 and $8 for a three pack.

Business and Finance: Growing Businesses cut payroll too in these harsh times

From the time of the 2008-2009 recession and slow recovery, this contributes to the financial crisis we as a country has faced. Because of this major setback, going along with tremendous debts and other reasons that cause consumers to spend less in order to prevent their debts from growing. Businesses, as well as consumers are investing less so that they don’t have to get enormous loans from the government, digging hem more into a financial hole. Because employers are having a hard time getting their products sold, in order for them to still stay on the market they have to lay off workers, cut payrolls, and cut back on hiring as well.
Economist Paul Krugman points out that consumer spending has dropped dramatically in the past few years as well as business investment. Industries such as manufacturing, home construction, and retail businesses are still suffering from the drop in consumer sales. These industries depend on their consumers to bring in enough money to support the industries needs.
Based on analysis one of the only industries that has not been affected by decrease in customer demand is Wireless Telecommunications. Also known as cell phone companies to the open public. Since 2007 customer demand in Wireless Telecommunications increased from 255 million to 303 million an increase of 15 percent in sales. Although there is continued demand  growth in telecommunications, they are still cutting employment but at a faster rate than employers in other industries.
Two industries that grew over 10 percent which are education and health care with employment increasing as well. The number of full time employment decreased by 2.2 million in a combination of nine industries. Although employment is low, businesses that are growing still manage to get by with fewer employees.

Elaboration Point:
The Great Depression in 1929
The Great Depression in 1929 was an economic downfall of the United States that put millions of Americans out of work. This was the beginning of the Government becoming involved in the economic and social needs as a whole. The depression took place from 1929 to the early 1940s.
Stock Market Crash: As stock prices went down dramatically with no hope of recovery, many people began to panic. Although many people tried to sell their stock, no one was buying because the economy was so bad. At one time the stock market which appeared to be the most guaranteed way to become rich now became the surest way into bankruptcy. Businesses and industries became affected as well. They were losing much of their own earnings in the Stock Market Crash or bank closures. Either way, this hurt their investments at a great cost. As President Roosevelt took leadership over America, many people considered him to be a hero as he made great efforts to end the Great Depression. With his New Deal Programs, this greatly contributed to the end coming of this economic depression. The major turn around for the Great Depression happened briefly after Pear Harbor and the introduction to World War II, the U.S was involved in the war. Both the people and industries of America  became essential to the war effort. With weapons, artillery, ships, and airplanes being needed in a hurry, in the meantime this helped the United States overcome the depression.

Diets that may reduce the risk of getting breast cancer

As many people know, our genes contribute to our health as we grow up. Even though you cant change anything about the genes you were born with and whatever health problems are prevalent in your family, there are ways of course you can prevent them from ruining your life.
Breast cancer has become a major health issue in the last 50 years for women. After the age of 40, women are recommended to get a mammogram at least once a year. The good news is there are many ways to reduce the chance of getting breast cancer. The best way in most cases, according to doctors and other medical studies recommend a change in dieting. Our diet and eating habits play a big role in how our bodies change and how we develop health issues when we put unhealthy and damaging foods into our bodies. Below are some foods that doctors recommend women to consume to reduce the chance of getting breast cancer:

Walnuts: according to research and data analysis, when a study group of mice consumed walnuts for 34 days, the mice that ate walnuts had less than half the rate of breast cancer versus the other control group that had the ame diet without walnuts. The number of tumors were significantly less and smaller for the walnut group. Those who did the study concluded that the anti inflammatory properties composed inside the walnuts were the reason for the reduced chance.

Lowering Alcohol consumption: In recent studies, it reports that even a small amount of alcohol is linked to the increased chance in developing breast cancer. Compared to women who do not drink, women who have two to five drinks a day have an increased risk by 50 percent to develop breast cancer versus non drinkers.


Cabbage and sauerkraut: Researchers at Michigan State University found that people who ate raw or lightly cooked cabbage and sauerkraut at least three times a week were 72 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than those who had it twice or less. This information was  presented during an American Association for Cancer Research meeting in 2005. The high levels of glucosinolate compounds found in cabbage may be responsible.
Vitamin D: Multiple studies have linked higher vitamin D levels with a lower risk of breast cancer. In one study, women with high vitamin D intake were up to 50 percent less likely to develop the disease, according to data presented at an American Association for Cancer Research meeting in 2006. In another study, Canadian researchers found that women who spent time outdoors or got lots of vitamin D from their diet or a supplement were 25 to 45 percent less likely to develop breast cancer. Vitamin D is a subject under intense research and it does appear to play a role. Some of the best vitamin D sources include milk, cod, shrimp, and salmon.

Peaches and plums: Researchers at Texas A&M University found that peaches and plums contain antioxidants that kill breast cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. The positive effect is likely caused by chlorogenic and neocholorogenic acid, both found in particularly high levels in both fruits. This information that was found was also  published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry in 2010

Ipod Tragedy: A girl is nearly killed from her poisonous apple

11 year old Ellie and her destroyed Ipod touch

Ken Stanborough, 47, from Liverpool, had to throw the iPod Touch belonged to Ellie, his daughter who was 11 years old, after he began to hear a hissing sound and felt the iPod was  getting hot. After throwing the device out of the back door, 30 seconds later there was a small explosion with smoke as high as 10 feet in the air.The Times reports that Ken, the father of a girl who's iPod exploded was offered a full refund, but only if they signed a confidentiality agreement. He refused.According to the report, the father feared that he or his daughter could be sued if they were to ever talk about the incident had he signed the confidentiality form.

Hows that Apple for ya.......pretty sour I'd say 

The Ipod Touch after it exploded

A bizarre new cocktail hits the metropolitan area

 

As it seems that our world is becoming more and more strange each day, so do our appetites. In New York a new cocktail has been concocted with an odd theme to it and may raise the eyebrows of many. The Whiskey Blue Bar at the W New York is now selling a new cocktail based on the American breakfast taste which is known as the bacon and egg cocktail.

The bacon and egg cocktail is served sunny side up exposing its original image but, in this case the eggs are whipped, mixed with a shot of bourbon and a piece of smoked bacon on the side. This cocktail sells for  $16 in the fancy hotel on Lexington Ave.

        

            Another similar drink that may arouse the taste buds of breakfast lovers with the same concept is the bacon martini. This drink is also referred to as Bacontini, Pig On The Rocks or a Bloody Bacon Martini. Now the Bacontini is made of vodka that has been infused with vodka and garnished with a strip of bacon and sometimes bacon bits and olives depending on the consumer's preference in taste. The drink itself is not pure vodka but, combined with vermouth as well and can be considered a new line of straight liquor calling it a Saketini along with some other names.

In terms of preparing this drink, the vodka must be made ahead of time through a process called fat washing. Fat washing is done by soaking strips of cooked bacon in a bottle of vodka and the ridding it of any fat that may remain. Sometimes this process can also be compared to marinating meat before it is cooked by infusing the meat with flavor as the same concept is done with the vodka. Signs that the drink is complete is when the liquid becomes a bit filmy and darkened. As far as the taste goes it has a spicy bacon flavor and can also taste tangy because of the vodka. Science wise, the fat from the bacon reacts to the vodka in a way that gives it its unique taste. Of course there are mixed reviews about this drink; according to one review, a drinker compared the taste to Castrol motor oil and another drinker said that is it has a satisfying taste on many levels. Another downside of the drink is if its substituted with bourbon instead of vodka( called a Mitch Morgan) it can absorb too much of the charcoal smokiness flavor.

In my opinion, I think this drink is quite interesting being as though it incorporates the taste of the American breakfast taste. I am not a drinker but If I were I'd probably want to try  this. It kind of sounds disgusting because its being infused with liquor that has a strong taste of its own so it's kind of a mixed review in every aspect.

My Weight Loss Regimen

Sooooo, here it is it's been a week since I've been trying to get into shape, not just for the summer but, for my overall being. Some things I've been doing to lose weight were eating certain foods with a certain amount of calories, exercising to something I enjoy which is house music, and setting a curfew for my eating time ( I guess you could say that). So far I've lost 6 pounds and I plan on keeping it off for good but, of course things doesnt always go my way but I pray this does.

I also did some research on when it is best  to weight myself as in what time of the day and how often should I do it. According to some sources, they recommend once a week and according to some sources, they say weight yourself once a month. Before doing research, I was weighing myself everyday because I just wanted to see results instantly but it didnt work like that. See, what I failed to realize was that throughout the day my body weight fluctuates because I'm constantly eating and my body is constantly processing. After doing research I found out the best time to weight myself was in the morning time after I relieve myself, which does in fact makes sense because this is when your body is the lightest. Overnight your kidneys are flushing and filtering out fluids and wastes while you are resting and your other organs are doing their parts as well. It's easier because when your sleeping your body is fasting (peep the word breakfast, break-fast get it, youre breaking the fast from last night) there arent any foods or fluids entering the system.
 

This here is one of the healthiest dishes I created at my job  for
myself to eat....Romaine Salad with shrimp and a tease of
Macaroni and Cheese :)

 It all makes sense when I wake and have the urge to use the bathroom and empty out my system. So I weigh myself and the results are very much different.........satisfying to see I'd say.

Starbucks hops over Burger King and Wendy's to Become No. 3 Fast Food Restaurant

Although Starbucks is really known for it's coffee specialties, it is now No. 3 when it comes to Fast Food Chains . In the past McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's have always been dominated their other competitors making it seem as if they dont even exist. According to Technomic's listing of the top 500 restaurant chains in America, Starbucks has risen rapidly in the recent years. The other two competitors that are above Starbuck's are Subway at No. 2 and Mcdonald's at No. 1 of course. Now that Starbucks is at No. 3 in the list, it shows that America's taste buds are steadily changing and yearning for something different  to pay for.

  I personally have been trying to lay off any type of fast food but, if I do have a selection I would say I would stop in at Subway because of their effort in advertising healthy sandwiches. I also appreciate the fact that they show how many calories their food has versus their competitors who are high in calories and fat and sodium and cholesterol and carbohydrates and so forth. I also love the fact that they offer wheat bread that is not just wheaty but delicious as well i.e Honey Grain Wheat bread. : )

 Here's the Top 5 list:
1. McDonald's
2. Subway
3. Starbucks
4. Burger King
5. Wendy's
