Q1 If a hybrid leopard and tiger can mateand produce hybrids, why can't the great apes and human beings do the same? A1 Claire Jordan Degree inbiology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper 23h Because lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards and jaguars are much more closely related to eachother than humans are to other surviving great apes. Modern humanswere able to hybridise with now-extinct other members of genus Homo, but we split from the other great apesjust too long ago. We can’t hybridise with them, and a lion can’t hybridise with a cheetahor a puma. Q2 How does chemotherapy know which is acancer cell? A2 Franklin Veaux part-timemad scientist12h It doesn’t. A drug has no concept of“cancer cell” or “normal cell.” Generally speaking, hand waving over details, chemotherapy drugs kill cells that are in the processof dividing, by disrupting the process of cell division. They don’t carewhat kind of cell it is. They don’t know if the cell is healthy or cancerous. They interfere with cell divisionand kill dividing cells. Cancer cells divide like crazy without stopping. Unrestrained division ispretty much the definition of cancer. Normal cells usually don’t divide, or ifthey do, they do so slowly. There are exceptions. Bloodstem cells in bone marrow divide frequently… …and chemotherapy drugs often cause anemia and immune suppression. Hair follicles work by dividingrapidly……and chemotherapy drugs often cause hair loss. The cells in the lining of the stomach and intestines divide rapidly……andchemotherapy drugs often causevomiting and diarrhea. Chemotherapy drugs don’t kill cancer cells, they kill rapidly-dividingcells. Q3 Does drinking lemon juice in themorning on an empty stomach help in reducing belly fat? A3 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals Fri Drinking lemon juice on an empty stomach in the morning has the effect of losing weight,but it does not ensure that only belly fat is reduced. The "lemon weight loss method" is related to the Nobel Prize. Lemon juice is rich in citric acid. Citric acid is an important compound in the process ofconverting fats, proteins and sugars into carbon dioxide. British-German biochemist Hans-Adolf Krebs discovered this scientificevidence, for which Krebs won the 1953 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Lemon juice is very low in calories, only 14 calories in 100 grams, andits fat content is almost negligible. Drinking a glass of lemon juiceon an empty stomach in the morning can inhibit fat synthesis, promote the decomposition of fat and decrease bodyweight. Fresh lemon juice is acidic, with a PH value of about 2.5, so people withhyperacidity and gastric ulcers should not drink lemon juice on an emptystomach.

A8 Christopher Stanton FormerChef and Catering Operations Manager Sat They watched which animals didn’tdie after eating whatever was in bloom during that season. Sweet merciful crap!

A9 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals Dec 15 Not all leafy vegetables aresuitable for eating raw. Leafy vegetables that can be eatenraw include lettuce, cabbage, spinach, leeks, cilantro, celery, spinach and soon. Leafy vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, some vitamins will belost during the cooking process. For example, if heated for 20 minutes to 30 minutes, vitamin C will losemore than 60%. Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant. It has anti-oxidant,anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral effects, which is very importantfor health. Eating raw leafy vegetables canmaximize the absorption of the nutritional value of vegetables. In addition, raw leafy vegetables contain nutrients such as betacarotene, lignin, volatile oil, enzymes, etc. These nutrients are absorbed bythe body, can significantly increase the vitality of macrophages, strengthenthe immune system, and avoid the risk of various diseases. My note- I read elsewhereMalayalam actor Mammottyeat more raw vegetables Q10 What is ‘South India’ according toNorth Indians? A10 Ajit Kurup Have travelledacross India Mon South is the feet of Bharat, all Indians must touch once. I have lived 2 decades each in both parts of the nation. I have alsocriss-crossed across all major cities cities of India. India is like no other.The chaos, the charm, the diversity, the uniqueness, the profoundness- justeverything. So, to North Indians, South India in one line is educated, intelligent, cultured, more developed,with ample natural resources. Educated like Kerala Has great culture like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka Has tech supremacy with cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai Has great vegetarian food and not behind on non vegetarian too. Has offerings of fantastic geo-tagged products to the world like theKanchipuram silk, Aranmula Mirror, Tirupati ladoo, Coimbatore Wet Grinder,Palakkadan Matta Rice and Thanjavur jewelry North Indians also admire: Backwaters of Kerala Ancient temples of Tamil Nadu Mysore Silk, Sandalwood and Chanapatna Toys of Karnataka Largest film city in the world in Telengana Amazing hanging pillar temple, in Andhra. They see pilgrimage centre's of immense value in: Velliangiri Hills Sabarimala Tirumala Some of the most amazing energy centres: Chidambaram, Five elements temples, Dhyanalinga, PadmanabhaswamyKshethram, Guruvayur, the all women managed Linga Bhairavi temple,Vadakkunathan, Hampi, Madurai, Rameshwaram, Ranganatha, Venkateshwara and somany many more. Food I am not going into listing food as it will take me a few pages to writeabout the food in one district of on state in South. That is Kozhikode in Kerala.So you can imagine how long an answer it would be to write down how much anyonein the world would love to eat in South India. Having said this, there's an element of error in answering to thisquestion. The error is in the generalization. First of all who is a NorthIndian? According to peopleliving in Kerala, TN, Andhra, Telengana and Karnataka a North Indian is anyonewho speaks Hindi that includes Maharashtra, Orissa, UP, Bihar, Delhi, Gujarat,MP, Rajasthan, Punjab and others. So, as you see, anyone who is not from the southern 5 states is a NorthIndian. In geographical terms Kashmiris are true North Indians followed byPunjabis, people from UP, Himachal, parts of Rajasthan. Ok then, what is South India? Kerala and Tamil Nadu are definitely South. Major parts of Andhra,Telegana and Karnataka are also geographically and liguistically South. So as you see this is all a bit too vague. But that's the beauty of India. The states have been formed basislanguages, but cultures clearly overlap. One thing we can be sure of is that, South is blessed with seas as aboundary, mountain ranges as shields, rivers to nurture, backwaters asornaments, education as a weapon, devotion as juice of life, greenery forhealth, and above all an amazingly welcoming inclusive culture for making lifehere wonderful.
