Diabetes Still Increasing

You know that sometimes young children can find a lot of things. Others just take it because it’s right in front of them. This 3rd grader brought a gun to school and showed it off in the closet. He was caught with gun and had to hand it over. The gun was loaded, but was not yet ready to fire. Where the hell did he get that gun? It’s a little strange that a man or woman would leave their gun for an 8-year old to easily take. The boy has been charged for bringing a gun to school, but they still don’t know who it belongs to. 

And the rate of diabetic Americans have doubled in the last decade in the South! And that is tied in with heart disease. I can’t believe that the stereotype is going around saying that Americans are fat people who watch TV all day and all the medical researches putting up the news on the media still haven’t stopped the 23 million+ Americans realized that they are unhealthy. 

And I’m only talking about this because it has been floating around for almost two weeks! So research have found that women’s hands have a greater variety of bacteria than men. The best theory is that men have more acidic skin than women’s, so they can house more types of bacteria. And the majority of bacteria in women’s hands lie under the skin, which is not accessible to water when washing hands. 

And more study show that we have evolved into smart creatures that are killing ourselves because of our big-hipped ancestors. Otherwise known as the Homo erectus. Their hips have found to be wider than previously viewed. The only reason is because they found the pelvis of one in Ethiopia. And a wider hip means a bigger head for babies. Which means a larger brain capacity. Although their brains were very superior, they still had a hard time developing language skills. Big ouch!
