Some cloned milk or steak?
Food derived from cloned animals may be safe but the jury is still out on the safety of genetically-engineered animals. S O, HOW do you feel about a glass of 'cloned milk' or a juicy piece of 'cloned steak'?...

Ganja - the facts
T HE USE of ganja has been the focus of much discussion and is highly controversial. This is the first of a two-part series, in which I shall attempt to present some facts on ganja.


Antibiotic misuse is drug abuse
NOVEMBER IS Drug Awareness Month and during this period, there will be greater national attention to the problem of drug abuse. Some drugs, such as Cannabis Sativa (marijuana), are frequently in the news.


Alternatives to sugar
FOR MANY persons, reducing their sugar intake is a challenge given our acculturation to sweet foods. These people welcome the many alternatives, known as sugar substitutes, which are provided by the manufacturing industry.


'Buck teeth' blues
M OST PEOPLE think of cosmetic changes when we talk about orthodontics. The orthodontist is the dentist who specialises in the proper alignment of the teeth and this is vital for good oral health.


Cervical infection
THE CERVIX is the ring-shaped opening to the uterus from the vagina. An infection or inflammation of the cervix is called cervicitis. The signs and symptoms of cervical infection or cervicitis are quite variable.


Love your body
I LOVE to admire women who have a positive self-image. The most attractive thing about a person can be the way that they see themselves. The person who loves their body stands out.
