That fact that so many people still believe that they could handle any chemical formula that they want without significant consequences speaks to the fact how poorly educated so many people are as it relates to toxins, the handling of poisons and product chemistry in general.
Ideally this would be standard knowledge people would learn while growing up as teenagers.
This comes down to learning how to read labels.
This is ultimately the job of parents and other caretakers.
To me this is one of those topics that pertains to the basics of mentoring.
As usual, we should not be relying on regulations.

Week 13 - Biochem - CRISPR gene editing technique commentary
As it relates to the CRISPR tool that we discussed, as it relates to gene editing, in particular for genetic disorders like Sickle cell anemia, I am definitely a proponent of these type of efforts.
Considering how problematic Sickle cell is and how many people suffer from it, the potential rewards out weigh the risk.
Compared to other medical procedures, this one is relatively non-invasive.
We are putting cells of various kinds almost everyday through our diets, so this type of cell-transfer therapy feels like common sense to me.

Week 13 - Biochem - 4 NOVA Classificatons - Vadim's proportions
In reading the article "NOVA food groups: definition according to the extent and purpose of food processing, with examples" I see these four classifications in my own diet breaking up into the following proportions:
1) Unprocessed or minimally processed: 50 %
2) Processed culinary ingredients: 12%
3) Processed foods: 18%
4) Ultra-processed foods: 20%

Week 12 - Biochemistry - Radiation as a marker for wine veracity / Optimistic about radiation
The article "California wines contain Fukushima radiation, and it's not a bad thing" speaks to the fact that any given problem or negative situation could eventually be used to the benefit of society. Although I am not a wine drinker, I could appreciate people wanting to know the accuracy of their vintage wines' origins.
Since we are living with radiation we might as well be optimistic about it, learn how to leverage it and try to transmute or transform whatever negativity it may be causing. As we become a "Type 1" civilization that fully understands how to harness the energy of our planet responsibly, radiation in all of it's forms will become a de facto common sense tool that will help us way more than hinder us.

Week 11 - Biochem - pollution in the hearts of city dwellers topic
Besides the biochemical aspect of this unfortunate situation, there is something also metaphorical about this situation that speaks to the fact of how so many people living in big cities are feeling disconnected from the power of their own hearts.
As much as people are being damaged by pollution in the cities, people are also benefiting economically from this pollution. The trade-off is not always clear. I suppose for some it is worth it, and for some it is not.
Weekly detox is important for this reason and other reasons.
The algae nutrients that I presented on are a big part of the solution.
Zeolites and other types of clay and negatively charged soil particles are a big part of detoxing from particulates and pollution in general.
Sweating by way of saunas and other methods is important as well. A lot of these particles first lodge in the fat cells before entering organs.

Week 11 - Biochemistry - favorite definition
Biochemistry: is the study of the structure, composition, and chemical reactions of substances in living systems.
This definition really speaks to what is really being studied within this discipline. This definition has broad application and meaning across all of the professions that use biochemistry.
