may experience withdrawal symptoms twelve to sixteen hours after the last
dose, such as: drowsiness, headaches, lethargy, irritability, disinterest
in work, depression, occasional nausea and vomiting.
How caffeine affects you depends on what and how much you drink.
Strongly brewed coffee or tea has much more caffeine than a weakly brewed
drink. Age and size make a difference too: A caffeinated soft drink
consumed by a child can have the same effect as four cups of coffee for an

It effects how you react and how you see things. Depressive illnesses often interfere with normal functioning and cause pain and suffering not only to those who have the disorder but also to the ones who care about them. Depression can rip apart families and destroy the life of an innocent person.

Euthanasia: An Overview
Number of Words: 1599 / Number of Pages: 6
... of euthanasia generally point to three main arguments which I
will mention only for the purposes of refuting them. First, many cite the
Hippocratic oath which reads, "I will give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked,
nor suggest any such counsel" as a reason to oppose euthanasia. Clearly, the
Hippocratic oath does condemn the practice, however, I do not find this as
reason enough to reject the moral permissibility of euthanasia. If the premise
of the oath is flawed (i.e., if it is morally permissible for a physician to
assist in suicide), then a physician should n ...

... AIDS
testing. Mandatory AIDS testing is theoretically very effective, however, when
it is applied, it is not practical at all because one is dealing with human
nature, the odd nature of the virus itself, and also all of the stigmas that are
attached to AIDS. Therefore, not only will mandatory AIDS testing not prevent
HIV infection, it will indirectly increase HIV infection because of the adverse
effect it will have on voluntary testers. One of the major flaws of mandatory
AIDS testing is that "it provides people with a false sense of security."(Greig,
p68) When one goes for AIDS testing or m ...

... first recorded some 5,000
years ago (Myers,1995). The most popular case is that of Phineas Gage a
railroad worker that had severe frontal lobe damage. This happened when a rail
road spike was shot through his head by a piece of dynamite. Miraculously he
lived through the experience, but with a severe change in his personality. From
this physiologists learned that personality was largely controlled from this
point namely by removing a persons inhibitions.
For the most part the brain has been a mystery that is waiting to be
opened. The last two decades have witnessed a period of research on ...

... in the world. This fact is alarming because although the mild carcinogenic has been deemed safe for human consumption, several studies have linked the chemical to bladder cancer. If the chemical were truly safe, it would not require a warning label on products that contain it.
Despite the fact that the United States government has deemed saccharin safe, in actuality, it should be banned until its effects on the human body are completely understood. Saccharin is an organic petroleum-based compound that is three to five hundred times sweeter than sucrose. It is non-nutritive because the human body ...
