Children’s primary (baby) teeth have thinner and often less resilient enamel that does not provide as much protection from the bacteria that, in conjunction with sugar, causes tooth decay. Sharing feeding spoons with your baby should be avoided for as long as possible! Research shows that bacteria can be transmitted from parents to the baby through saliva by sharing eating utensils, dummies or even kissing on the lips. Infants’ first teeth begin to erupt at around six months of age. As babies often fall asleep with milk, formula or food in their mouths, this leaves their teeth more susceptible to dental decay. But decay only occurs if tooth tissue, carbohydrates or sugar and cariogenic bacteria – the bacteria that causes tooth decay – are together in the mouth. So the longer we can keep infants from being inoculated with harmful cariogenic bacteria, the better. Decay in the primary teeth can cause abscesses that harm the permanent teeth developing inside the gums. In the case of advanced tooth decay where dental extraction is required, children are more likely to develop orthodontic problems as the premature loss of primary teeth can affect the alignment of permanent teeth. #THIS FOR YOU...: Fizzy drinks are acidic in nature and studies show them to be the biggest factor in causing dental erosion among teenagers. Erosion, caused by acidic substances, is a wearing away of the enamel coating of teeth. While drinking 'diet' versions of fizzy drinks reduces sugar consumption, these are very acidic and can still cause erosion. Enamel in teeth can start to dissolve when the pH of any liquids consumed is 5.5 or lower. Fizzy water can have a pH as low as 3.0, while flavoured fizzy drinks can have pHs of as low as 2.0, though this is about the same pH as gastric acid! -www.blaksun3000..com

Nigeria will face Senegal in a friendly match at Barnet's The Hive on Thursday Ticket sales for the match have been poor, with one stand seeing just 11 sold Barnet are expecting a League Two-sized attendance - between 1,400 and 1,900 The last time Sadio Mane pulled on a shirt for Senegal, the eyes of a continent were on the Liverpool man. In the lead-up to the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final against Cameroon, Mane had been one of the players of the tournament, and Senegal, undoubtedly, the team of the competition. But after a goalless draw with Cameroon, it came to Mane to take the decisive penalty. He saw it saved and proceeded to break down in tears, to such an extent that he couldn’t stand and had to be half-carried off the field by his team-mates. Two months on, Mane, back to form with Liverpool and with the memories of that painful night in Gabon fading, will be back on international duty – but the setting will be very different. Mane and his Senegal team-mates – featuring Premier League stars Idrissa Gueye, Cheikhou Kouyate, Alfred N’Diaye and Mame Biram Diouf – play their first game since the Cup of Nations on Thursday, at Barnet’s Hive stadium in north west London. There they will meet a star-studded, but inconsistent, Nigeria team, who failed to even qualify for the Cup of Nations but are on course to make it to the World Cup in Russia. They too are full of Premier League talent, with young forwards Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho an exciting prospect at international level, and Leicester’s Wilfred Ndidi and Ahmed Musa are both still of interest, at least for their country, even if their club form has not always hit the heights. Chelsea’s Victor Moses is a doubt for Thursday’s game, but is training with the squad. It as a strange prospect – two giants of African football clashing in a cold corner of north west London. Nigeria have previously played friendlies at Fulham’s Craven Cottage, but this is a first for the Barnet ground. In some ways it makes sense – both squads are predominantly based in Europe. Nigeria have just one player from their domestic league in their squad, Senegal two. It is far more convenient for top players to play in London or Paris – where Senegal meet Ivory Coast in their next game – than flying them to west Africa for a few days. And The Hive, being a League 2 grounds, is not only far less expensive to hire than some of the bigger stadiums, it also has on-site training facilities, which make it a one-stop shop for travelling teams. Coupled with a large British-Nigerian population in London – the 2011 census suggested over 100,000 Nigerian-born Brits live in the capital – it seems a decent prospect. Indeed, you might expect a large appetite to see their stars in the flesh playing for the Super Eagles against top quality opposition. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. If you thought attendances were bad for tournaments like the Cup of Nations, where stadiums are often under half full, Thursday’s ticket sales are something of a shock. With entry as little as £10 for adults in some areas, and £5 for under-14s, and such a plethora of Premier League stars on show, you would hope for a decent turn-out, given the dearth of quality football available during an international break. The Hive holds a little over 6,000 fans, is incredibly easy to access by public transport, and is convenient for many of London’s vast number of football supporters. Surely it should be full for a showpiece fixture, even if it is a friendly? But sales have been sluggish, perhaps because few fans know the game is even due to happen. Behind the goal at one end, in the most central block, just 11 of the 480 tickets have been sold, while along one side of the pitch there are blocks where not a seat has been taken. A Barnet spokesman told Sportsmail that they are hopeful to be around their usual League Two attendance, between 1,400 and 1,900, which would still leave 4,000 empty seats. There is still time for those sales to pick up, of course. The game doesn’t kick off until 8pm on Thursday, and there ought to be plenty who just show up on the door. But given fans of Barnet are unlikely to witness the likes of Mane, Iwobi and Iheanacho in the league any time soon in a different context, it’s something of a surprise so few have sold so far.

A recent court case in Nigeria has highlighted concerns that locally made soft drinks may be considered unsafe for human consumption elsewhere, as Ijeoma Ndukwe explains. There has been uproar in Nigeria after it emerged that the company that manufactures Fanta and Sprite, the Nigeria Bottling Company (NBC), has been ordered by a court to place warning labels on its products, stating that they are unsafe when consumed alongside vitamin C. The drinks are said by critics to contain high levels of the preservative benzoic acid and the colouring sunset yellow. NBC is challenging the ruling. The case has caused deepening concern in a country where Fanta, Sprite and Coca-Cola are probably the most widely consumed soft drinks. Barbara Ukpabi owns a grill restaurant which serves local food in Oniru, Lagos. She says she might stop buying Fanta and Sprite for the restaurant and also has concerns about giving the drinks to her children. "I was thinking of reducing how much I drink of it. I'll be thinking of drinking less of it or going to other substitutes like juice." Although like many Nigerians, the habit is hard to break. "I just had my lunch and I had Coke and water." Security guard John Uloko didn't see the reports about the soft drinks in the newspapers but heard about it via WhatsApp and hasn't drunk any since. 'Flexing their muscles' The ruling was the result of a nine-year-long court battle initiated by Nigerian businessman Fijabi Adebo. In 2007, Mr Adebo shipped Nigerian-made Fanta and Sprite to the UK to sell at his chain of shops in Manchester. His shipment was confiscated by UK customs, originally because of concerns about the authenticity of the beverages. But when the UK health authorities tested the products, they were declared unsafe for human consumption and destroyed. Mr Adebo sued NBC, Coca-Cola's franchise owner in Nigeria, which had sold him the products. They had refused to take financial responsibility for the incident. He later extended the case to include the food standards agency Nafdac, on the grounds that it had allegedly not performed its duty. Last month - nearly 10 years after he filed his case - a Lagos high court ruled against Nafdac and ordered the Nigerian Bottling Company to place written warnings on its Fanta and Sprite bottles.As NBC is appealing, the labels have not yet been added to the bottles. Mr Adebo told the BBC: "Initially they were flexing their muscles, which dragged [out] the process. I went to court to compel Nafdac to do its duty. "We shouldn't have a product that is considered substandard in Europe." His viewpoint is echoed by many, angered that products considered unsafe for consumption in the UK are legal in Nigeria. The case has prompted discussions about accepted standards in the country. Although benzoic acid is widely used as an antibacterial and antifungal preservative in acidic foods and beverages to extend their shelf life, studies have shown that the chemical can cause health problems in certain circumstances. 'Toxic' A scientist based in Nigeria, who has dealings with Nafdac and asked to remain anonymous, says some human toxicity studies have shown that benzoic acid may react with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in soft drinks, forming benzene. "While benzoic acid itself is relatively non-toxic, when benzene is formed in the presence of ascorbic acid in foods it is particularly dangerous, as benzene is widely known to be toxic and linked to many forms of cancer. These include leukaemia and other cancers of the blood," the scientist said. The secretary-general of the Nigerian Medical Association says it is impossible to make a judgement about acceptable levels of benzoic acid without conducting a local study looking at health implications over a long period of time. Dr Yusuf Sununu Tanko says there are a number of examples where evaluations are different between countries because of differences in physical constitution, diet and environment. "Each country has its own acceptable value of what is considered normal for what is fit for human consumption," he says. Nigeria's health ministry published a statement in response to the public outcry, reassuring Nigerians that the drinks are safe for human consumption. However, the ministry advises that medicines are taken with water to help "prevent unexpected drug-food interactions". Although the government has not spoken of enforcement, it "encourages" all bottling companies to include advisory warnings on all relevant products. The Nigerian Bottling Company has appealed against the court ruling. It says the levels of benzoic acid in its soft drinks are "well within the levels approved" by both the national regulator and Codex Alimentarius, an international food standards body. The company also says the ingredient levels set by countries for their food and beverages are influenced by factors such as climate, with drinks in hotter countries needing higher levels of preservative. It also says there was "no proven case of negligence" or finding that the company had breached its duty of care to consumers. The government's Consumer Protection Council has formally requested documents from the Nigerian Bottling Company ahead of an independent inquiry. With an appeal in motion and a government inquiry under way, this case is far from over. www.blaksun3000..com

A religious TV channel in Senegal has broadcast a hardcore porn movie, causing shock among many viewers. Touba TV inadvertently aired the explicit content in the middle of the afternoon yesterday, between 13:10 and 13:30 local time. The embarrassing slip-up has not escaped the attention of the authorities either. The National Audiovisual Regulatory Council has demanded an explanation from the channel. Touba TV has said that a troublesome "network bug" had caused the material to air.

A court in northern Indian has given the Ganges and Yamuna rivers the status of "living human entities". The high court in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand said this would help in the "preservation and conservation" of the highly polluted rivers. It added that the "legal status" ensures that polluting the rivers would now amount to harming a human being. Both rivers are considered sacred in India and are considered goddesses by the majority Hindu population. The ruling comes a week after the Whanganui River in New Zealand became the first in the world to be granted the same legal rights as a person. The court said in its ruling that Hindus had "deep faith" in the two rivers and they "collectively connect with them". "The rivers are central to the existence of half of the Indian population and their health and well being. They have provided both physical and spiritual sustenance to all of us from time immemorial," it added. It went on to add that both rivers had become heavily polluted due to industrialisation and rapid urbanisation. Two top state officials have been appointed as the "legal guardians" of the rivers and will represent their rights. Activists say the order is likely to fast track efforts to clean the rivers.

Sperm swimming technique 'all down to simple maths' How an individual sperm swims, against all the odds, through fluid to reach the fallopian tubes has been revealed - and it's all about rhythm. Researchers from the UK and Japan found that the head and tail movements of sperm made patterns similar to the fields that form around magnets. And these help to propel sperm towards the female egg. Knowing why some sperm succeed and others fail could help treat male infertility, the researchers said. More than 50 million sperm embark on the journey to fertilise an egg when a man and woman have sex. About 10 reach the finish line - but there can only be one winner. The journey is treacherous, says study author Dr Hermes Gadelha. "Every time someone tells me they are having a baby, I think it is one of the greatest miracles ever - but no-one realises," says Dr Gadelha, a lecturer in applied mathematics at the University of York. Image caption The swimming technique is all based on a simple maths formula He and his team measured the beat of individual sperm cells' tails to try to understand the flow of fluid around the sperm. It turns out that a "simple mathematical formula" explains the rhythmical patterns created, Dr Gadelha says. And these movements help selected sperm cells move forward towards their holy grail - the female egg. The study, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, says the next step is to use the model to predict how large numbers of sperm move. Prof Allan Pacey, a sperm expert from the University of Sheffield, says a successful sperm is more than just about swimming prowess. "The more we know about sperm the better. This might help infertility treatment in some small way but there are lots of other factors to consider too." They include the number of sperm available, getting them to the right place at the right time and the DNA present in the head of the sperm. Race to the egg - what sort of journey do sperm face? When a man has ejaculated, 50 million to 150 million sperm are produced, and these cells immediately start swimming upstream towards a woman's fallopian tubes. But it's not an easy journey - there are lots of hurdles to overcome for the male sex cells, which are just 0.065mm in length. Only one sperm can penetrate the woman's egg and fertilise it, so the race is on. First, they have to survive the vagina, where conditions mean most die. Then they have to avoid dead ends and being trapped before reaching the uterus. On the way there are marauding white blood cells ready to kill them. Finally, the remaining sperm arrive at the fallopian tubes, where they are fed and nourished. But has an egg been released at exactly the right time to welcome the winning sperm? If not, the journey has all been in vain.

You don't run around school blocks to attend classes again, you aren't pressured to play ball on the field or follow friends to the gym. You now start sitting behind desk for hours, eating junks because you don't have time and you can now afford them. The only thing you do to pass time is to start drinking after work. As a result your tommy is now protruding, you are now forming Man and feeling old. I was at an interhouse sport yesterday, I couldn't run a hundred meters before I got a serious muscle cramb in my right thigh...I envy those young lads |

I like Putin, but his idea of banning religion, I don't support. YOU CAN IMAGINE THOSE COMMANDO STYLE POLICE INVADING JW WITH ARMS? No that is too much, we all know they wount even find a breadknife with this people. So what warrant that excessive show of force? Those it point to share hatred and ignorant fear? |
When I see people like you, I feel so sad on how the Devil as really succeeded in BLINDING THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE. It doesn't amaze me rather it hurt me when I see your like arrogantly try to twist simply plain English. A passage that potrays Jesus like a prince with royal rights to do what others might not normally have the right to do. A passage that portrays Jesus as an obedient and acute learner that does what he sees his father do. A passage with a promise; that shows their are something's that only the Father knows but that he will eventually make known to his Son. A passage that dismiss the notion that Jesus was just some prophet but instead reveal who he his a ever willing, hardworking and Obedient SON of the FATHER. Hmmn...can you stop to think of how you might have offended Christ with this post on how you have unwittingly advance the agenda of his Arch enemy the Devil? |
