You May Poison Yourself Accidentally

In Taiwan , a woman suddenly died unexpectedly with signs of bleeding from her ears, nose, mouth & eyes. After a preliminary autopsy it was diagnosed death due to arsenic poisoning death. Where did the arsenic come from?

The police launched an in-depth and extensive investigation. A medical school professor was invited to come to solve the case.

The professor carefully looked at the contents from the deceased's stomach, in less than half an hour, the mystery was solved. The professor said: 'The deceased did not commit suicide and neither was she murdered, she died of accidental death due to ignorance!'

Everyone was puzzled, why accidental death? The arsenic is of the U.S.military for carrying rice seedlings H Gao. The professor said:
'The arsenic is produced in the stomach of the deceased.' The deceased used to take 'Vitamin C' everyday, which in itself is not a problem. The problem was that she ate a large portion of shrimp/prawn during dinner.
Eating shrimp/prawn is not the problem that's why nothing happened to her family ever though they took the same shrimp/prawn. However at the same time the deceased also took 'vitamin C', that is where the problem is!

Researchers at the University of Chicago in the United States , found through experiments, food such as soft-shell shrimp/prawn contains a much higher concentration of - five potassium arsenic compounds.

Such fresh food by itself has no toxic effects on the human
body!However, in taking 'vitamin C', due to the chemical reaction, the original non-toxic - five potassium arsenic (As anhydride, also known as arsenic oxide, the chemical formula for As205) changed to a three potassium toxic arsenic (ADB arsenic anhydride), also known as arsenictrioxide, a chemical formula (As203), which is commonly known as arsenic to the public!

Arsenic poisoning have magma role and can cause paralysis to the small blood vessels, "mercapto Jimei"??, inhibits the activity of the liver and fat necrosis change Hepatic Lobules Centre, heart, liver, kidney,intestine congestion, epithelial cell necrosis,
telangiectasia. Therefore, a person who dies of arsenic poisoning will shows signs of bleeding from the ears, nose, mouth & eyes.

Therefore; as a precautionary measure, DO NOT not take shrimp/prawn when
taking 'vitamin C'.

Alcohol and Sex

In many ways, the relationship is very similar between levels of sexual enjoyment and alcohol comsumption.

Many people report that having a mixed drink or a glass or two of wine before becoming sexually intimate helps them relax and provides for a mild emotional loosening of inhibitions.

But at extremely high levels of alcohol consumption, the person doing the drinking is often sexually dysfunctional as a result. That's because alcohol, a powerful nervous system depressant, disables the natural sexual response of the autonomic nervous system and overrides the brain's cortical pleasure centers. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to be sexually excited and extremely drunk at the same time.

The inverted U-curve, or bell curve, is a good graphical representation of the relationship between alcohol consumption and sexual arousal and enjoyment. Such a curve reflects that sexual enjoyment increases as alcohol consumption begins to rise from zero, but the trend soon reverses, with diminishing sexual returns from more than a drink or two.

Another unfortunate manifestation of excessive alcohol consumption is that it can affect moral judgment, which normally keeps more aggressive sexual urges in check.

A very large proportion of reported date rape incidents involve excessive alcohol use on the part of the male involved. Many times the female has also been drinking so heavily she cannot resist unwanted advances or even communicate her wishes.

The difficulty is that few of us know exactly how much alcohol is too much in these situations, leading to the adage that moderation is best. Of course, abstaining from alcohol doesn't preclude great sex, and there is no requirement that any alcohol be consumed to make sex enjoyable and satisfying.

Predictability and sameness in a person's sexual scenario can easily lead to boredom and lack of sexual excitement. However, while a little wine with sex may enhance novelty, it is important to stay in control and not go too far with alcohol.
