Apple Cider Vinegar, Folk Remedy Or Legitimate Health Aid?

Apple cider vinegar is an old folk remedy claimed to be beneficial in treating a long list of ailments. It is sold today by “health food” companies and others who claim it has remedial properties. Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made by the fermentation of apple cider. Unlike white vinegar, apple cider vinegar is a light yellow-brown color and is often sold unfiltered and unpasteurized with a dark, cloudy sediment called mother of vinegar (consisting mainly of acetic acid bacteria) settled at the bottom of the bottle.
Over the centuries, vinegar has been used for countless purposes: making pickles, killing weeds, cleaning coffee makers, polishing armor, and dressing salads. While many of the folk medicine uses of vinegar are unproven (or were disproved), there is some medical research backing them up.
The main ingredient of apple cider vinegar, or any vinegar, is acetic acid. Apple cider vinegar is also said to contain an abundance of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber. Do not use a metal container when making vinegar or storing it; acid in the mixture will corrode metal or aluminum objects making the solution unfit for consumption. […]

Was Neanderthal Man The Missing Link?

Whenever I hear the words missing link I cannot help but think of the time a family member misplaced a cufflink and could not find it. Or the time at a barbecue when someone lost a link of prime sausage and could not find that either.
Those were truly missing links!
Now here is an irony for you. As far back as the 1950’s anthropologists using real science as their guide proved that Neanderthals were 100% human. Yet, even today, many Darwinists still claim them as a missing links.
Neanderthal Man was the name given to human bones found in 1856 in Germany’s Neander Valley. Many Darwinists still depict Neanderthal Man as a half-witted link between ape and man who lacked language skills and creative abilities.
Others say he was a dead-end in human evolution from our supposed ape-like ancestors.
However, the evidence has been around since the early 1900’s which proves that Neanderthal was a variation of modern humans, and he has been reclassified as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, a particular kind of modern man.
The renowned pathologist Rudolf Virchow presented evidence that the Neanderthal specimens which showed a hunched-over stance and other features were influenced by rickets and arthritis. […]

Industrial Flooring Can be Fun For Feet

It is an integral part of daytime telly advertising; the obligatory scene of some poor soul slipping on a wet surface and snapping an ankle, or a poor old dear with arthritis who can barely lift her legs tripping over a wonky paving slab. Then the words ’sue them for all it is worth!’ or something like that anyway. The point is, for all the expenditure of albeit very low budget adverts, (come on, it looks like some of them are done by an A level film student who has enlisted the likes of Aunty Doris to perform the disastrous slipping deed and asked granddad to do the voice-over!) there must be a lot of money to be made from slips and falls in the workplace.
An obvious answer one would think would to be adequately insured against such clumsy footed people. Maybe that is a bit mean, and if were I the boss of all bosses I’d be making sure that even the sloppy steppers could cope with the workplace flooring. A budget option could be duct tape to stick down the carpet tiles that are coming loose at the corners. Or get a roll […]
