Fad Diets

Fad Diets.   They come and go and we LOVE them.  BUT…do they work?  I want you to research three of them.   Then choose one to report back to a neighbor about it.   Did it work?  What are the drawbacks?  Does this diet even make sense?   Is it based on science?  Does the FDA require proof that a diet works?  

This is interesting stuff!   We are doing this to set up a group project where you "sell your diet".   You will have to have some knowledge of previous diets and you'll need to check out what the FDA says about fad diets and making claims.


Go to the link below:  This is a list of fad diets.   A TON of them.

http://www.webmd.com/diet/evaluate-latest-diets


You can also go here:

http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm281333.htm

This is the FDA site that will give you some information about certain diets and claims that folks make.

Your job today is just to research for 15 minutes, write (or copy and paste) about three diets and what you think and then share with a neighbor.   We will then share to the class.

STD Myths VS Facts

Please research the facts/myths below.  Write in your answers and put them in the drop box.  Due by tomorrow.

Student ___________________________

STDs – FACT OR FICTION

STD facts

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Birth control pills do not prevent sexually transmitted diseases from being contracted.

2. Over 95% of all STDs are contracted through sexual intercourse.

3. Most STDs can be treated.

4. There is no cure for herpes or AIDS.

5. STDs cannot be transmitted by touching door knobs, drinking fountains, or swimming in a public pool.

6. Once you are cured of an STD, you can get it again.

7. The AIDS virus must pass from one person’s body fluids into another’s bloodstream for the second person to get the disease.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Most AIDS patients in the United States are homosexual or bisexual men.

2. AIDS can be spread by heterosexual contact between men and women.

3. AIDS can be spread through contaminated needles.

4. An unborn fetus can be infected with syphilis while in the uterus.

5. An unborn fetus cannot contract gonorrhea while in the uterus, but may contract the disease when an infected mother’s “bag of water” breaks before delivery.

6. An estimated 40% of males and 80% of females infected with gonorrhea have no visible symptoms, but they may pass the disease to a sexual partner.

7. If a woman receives not treatment or insufficient treatment for gonorrhea, sterility may occur.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. A person can still be infected with syphilis even though the syphilic chancre goes away.

2. Syphilis can remain dormant for years and then cause heart or brain damage, or even cause death.

3. Mental illness, blindness, paralysis, and heart disease are all symptoms of syphilis.

4. If a woman has an active case of genital herpes she may infect her baby during delivery.

5. The doctor of a woman with genital herpes may suggest a cesarean delivery so the baby does not have to pass through the infected birth canal.

6. Women who are infected with genital warts or herpes may develop cancer of the cervix

7. Condoms help protect against many STDs, but are not 100% effective.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. If two people are free from STDs and have no other sexual partners, they will likely never have any STDs.

2. Chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which can lead to infertility.

3. Genital warts are caused by a virus and spread by sexual contact.

4. An individual who has been exposed to genital warts may not notice any symptoms for 6-8 months.

5. Some STD strains are becoming resistant to present medications which are available.

6. Many STDs lave latent stages where no visible symptoms are present.

A baby born to a mother with active genital herpes may not survive, or be physically or mentally damaged

Emerging Diseases and Pandemics

Good Morning! (or afternoon)

Go here:

http://www.who.int/csr/disease/en/
OR
http://www.usaid.gov/what-we-do/global-health/pandemic-influenza-and-other-emerging-threats

Do This:

Summarize two different diseases in notability.   Write about a disease that is considered a communicable disease that could become a pandemic or large scale illness.   Use your own words to summarize this article.  PLEASE do not copy and paste.

A few of you will be asked to "peer teach" your disease to the class tomorrow.  Please have pictures on your presentation.  Make this a presentation as if you WILL be teaching it.  You don't know who will be picked!

Some things to consider:   How is it spread? What is the likelihood that it will occur?  Has it occurred before?  Do we have a vaccine?  Can we keep it from spreading? Where are the "hot spots" or places where this illness have a high rate of infection?  What is the likelihood that this WILL occur?

Your presentation should be five minutes in length.
