Many people may be unaware of the mercury in dental fillings due to the lack of informed consent. Dental Fillings termed as amalgam are composed of mercury bound to other metals. Although scientific studies have indicated that mercury can be lethal, the mixture of metals is still widely used in dentistry for filling holes in the tooth because it is able to adhere well to the cavity in the tooth.

The annual Earth Hour will occur today, 26 March 2011 at 8.30 p.m, all over the globe. Themed "It's time to go beyond the hour", it encourages everyone to switch of your lights even after the so-called "Earth Hour". Earth Hour is a term to emphasize on the initiative for every individual or household to show their concern for our earth, where various pollution and global warming have constantly

All along, carbohydrates are a main source of energy supplier, alongside with many micronutrients including Vitamin Bs, which are coenzymes, that helps to metabolise the carbohydrates, protein, and fats to provide energy.

The air these days haven't been getting any better. Cloudy sky which seems to be covered by clouds apparently is a thick layer of gas or smoke resulting from burning. It just gets worst in the night time. The layer of smoke will stay pretty stagnant on the skies while the wind would sweep them down onto the earth where we the human beings can smell soot or burnt, woody odour of perhaps the trees,

IT fair 2009 had come to an end. After work, I decided to go to Suntec City for the inaugural IT fair with my friend.

On Wednesday, I was supposed to work but apparently reached far earlier than I'm supposed to. Due to miscommunication of the change to the roster, I ended up having to spend long hours dwelling away from work.

As we all know, Chinese New Year is only 1 week and 4 days away. It's always good to clean up and keep the house neat and free of dust, and especially so to welcome a new prosperous year ahead. This is associated to the belief of bringing luck and fortune into our house, hence everyone will be lucky for the whole year. Another belief is to clear away the bad luck.

What could you think of when you come across the word "antique"? A sewing machine or an antique car? Is that all? The world is growing rapidly, especially so because of today's technology improvement. Have you wonder the things that could be taken over as a result of technology advancement?

Bad exists more than good. This world is never perfect. Neither is the world fair. Everything can happen, good or bad. Bad people are all around you, but they wear mask. They disguise themselves as good-hearted souls. But they are of the opposite character. So, here's a good advice--never judge someone by their appearance, you can't tell. Some people are not evil or real bad, but they certainly

TRANS FAT-Studies showed that an extended shelf-life for products could well mean a shortened life for those who eat them.-WHY?
