Vitamin D warning: Too much can harm your heart
New research by scientists show that higher than normal levels of vitamin D in your blood can make your hear beat out of rhythm, a condition knows as arterial fibrillation. These high levels occur when people take supplements, as people don’t realize the risk of taking too much vitamin D. They advise you to acquire vitamin D from natural food sources and especially from the sun. They also advise people diagnosed with arterial fibrillation to regularly check blood levels of nutrients.
I am very happy that I came across this article and I encourage everyone to read it. It makes you realize that even things that are healthy aren’t good if you over use them. People have a misconception that if something is health, you can eat it as much as you want. The truth is that there are limits for everything, even for foods that are healthy. This article will clear the misunderstanding for many people that think “healthy” has no limits. They need to understand that everything is good but only when you mange the amount you take and take it according to your requirements. Getting extra isn’t always the best thing. Many people don't realize that sunlight is also a great source of vitamin D. You don't need to take supplements and waste when all you have to do is go outside for free! The supplements should be for winter and fall months when sunlight is limited but in summer and spring you have no excuse. You should be outside getting a bit of exercise and at the same time absorbing the Vitamin D.

Termites' Digestive System Could Act as Biofuel Refinery
This article talks about the research done by Mike Scharf on biofuel. His laboratory discovered enzymes found in termites that may help get around the barriers that stop fuel production from woody biomass. The symbionts in the termites do a lot of the digestion but many have overlooked the enzymes created by the termites. They found 3 enzymes that work on different parts of biomass. Two of the enzymes are responsible for the release of two different sugars and the other is enzyme is responsible for the breakdown of lignin, the most significant barrier that prevents the access of sugars in biomass. They were also able to synergistically produce the sugars they needed access to.
This research is great for everyone on this planet. The pollution created by fossil fuels is very bad for our environment and we are in need of an alternate source of fuel. This is one of the solutions, as it does not harm the environment. There are already biodiesel-powered vehicles but not a lot. With the barrier in the production of biofuel gone, we will now be able to create more biofuel. This will provide us with an alternate, more environment friendly fuel. This fuel can also educe the affects of gasoline by improving emissions. A disadvantage is that biofuel needs specific fuel sources such as corn and sugar cane to produce it. There aren’t enough fields of these sources to meet the demand. Using these sources will also reduce our food supply. A few of the sources are corn, sugar cane and soybeans. There are food sources and if they are used for the production of fuel, we will have less food to eat. For many of the fuel sources such as wood residue, switch grass and algae, our technology is not ready which limits us to the sources which we commonly use a s food. We have a decision to make and it needs to be made quick.
