Q1 Where did mangoes originate from? A1 Lucia Garcia Worked at Hospitals Thu Mangoes are native to India and have a history of morethan 4,000 years. Currently, Indiaremains the world's largest mango producer, accounting for 42.2% of the world'stotal production. Mango is known as the "King of Tropical Fruits"due to its delicate flesh and unique flavor. Mango trees canlive for hundreds of years, and trees that are 200 to 300 years old can stillbear fruit. A single mango tree can bear hundreds of fruits each year. Mango is one of the fruits with the highest vitamin Acontent, and its vitamin A content is as high as 3.8%, which is twice as muchas apricot. Vitamin A is essential for eye health and is key toenhancing and protecting vision.

Q4 How did our ancient ancestors keepthemselves sane when the only thing they could ever do was survive, hunt,gather, and reproduce? A4 Matt Riggsby MA Archaeological Studies,Boston University Mar 11 Those are, for astart, pretty comprehensive areas of activity. How much time do you spend working at your job, shoppingfor food, and cooking? That’s probably a substantial portion of your day,which is equivalent to that whole hunting and gathering thing. How much time doyou spend on doing things around the house like laundry, tidying up, and homerepair? That’s more or less equivalent to other daily “maintenance” tasksperformed by hunter gatherers. And how much time do you spend looking afterkids? (Or, if you’re not a parent, how much time do you see parents spendlooking after their kids?) We’re all busy with doing stuff just to get throughthe day and the year, just different tasks.That said, hunter gatherers could have a lot of leisuretime. In relatively comfortable times of year, when edible plantsare growing nicely and game is plentiful, the average hunter gatherer spendsmaybe a couple of hour on subsistence tasks, and they’ve got the day to…well,just kind of hang out. Theymight sing, tell stories, play games, pursue romantic entanglements, and so on.And really, that’s what most of humanity has done with their free time throughhistory. Certainly, there were also times of year when it was much harder tomake a living, and there was less leisure time then, but it wasn’t just aconstant grind to survive. Q5 What points are considered beforebuying a laundry detergent? A5 Gopala Krishnan , former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966-2004) Answered justnow I am answering fromChennai, India. Alldetergents are equally good and priced almost same. Now detergent liquidis suggested for automatic washing machines. Some internal parts get corroded by using powder, it istold by technicians. Some detergents provide good fragrance afterwashing. I suggest such detergents Q6 Why don't whales or other large animalsget cancer? Can we be "inspired" by this phenomenon to treat cancerin humans and other creatures? A6 Ken Saladin Former professor ofhistology (microscopic anatomy)1y At first I doubtedyour premise, but I poked around a bit and found it’s correct—large mammals such as whales andelephants do have a significantly lower incidence of cancer than would bepredicted from their body size. The chance of acancer developing increases with number of cell divisions and length of life,both of which favor the occurrence of cancer-inducing mutations. The large size of whales and elephants is because of a lot of celldivisions, and they also live much longer than most mammals—so you’d expectthem to have more cancer. Yet they don’t; they have significantly lowerrates than other mammals. This is known as Peto’s paradox. Geneticists havefound that some parts of the whale genome, especially genes concerned with cellproliferation and DNA repair, have evolved faster than others. Many forms of cancer in humansresult from mutations in protective tumor-suppressor (TS) genes. Thehumpbacked whale genome has evolved multiple copies of these genes—maybe acting like backup if oneor more of them mutate and lose their protective function. That may give theseanimals a level of protection we don’t have. The extra protection afforded by these redundant genes isperhaps necessary for the animals to grow to such sizes; they perform anecessary “housekeeping” role. These animals’ unusually low level ofcancer may be a side benefit of this. So yes, this hasexcited a line of research looking into anticancer mechanisms in whales andother long-lived animals including sharks, bats, tortoises, and crocodilians. Thanks for thequestion. You turned mycurmudgeonly skepticism into interest on this point and I’ve sparedyou the barbs of my sometimes half-baked cynicism Q7 Are tomatoes good for weight loss? A7 Lucia Garcia Worked at Hospitals12h Tomatoes are one of the best weight loss foods. Tomatoes are extremelylow in calories, with only 18 calories in 100 grams of tomatoes, much lowerthan most vegetables and fruits. Tomatoes are rich in citric acid. Citric acid canaccelerate fat burning, inhibit fat accumulation, and promote caloriemetabolism. Most importantly,tomatoes are the best source of lycopene, and 100 grams of tomatoes containabout 3 mg to 4 mg of lycopene. Different varietiesof tomatoes have different lycopene content. The redder the tomato, the higher its lycopene content. Studies have shownthat lycopene can stimulate the secretion of adiponectin in the body. As aspecific adipokine, adiponectin plays a key role in increasing the rate of fatburning. Clinical studies have found that obese people have muchlower levels of adiponectin than ordinary people. The journalNutrition published a study in which 25 Taiwanese women drank 280ml of tomatojuice every day for two months. The results showed that after two months, the women's waistcircumference decreased and their adiponectin levels increased significantly. Q8 Can someone be born without pituitarygland? A8 Ken Saladin Former professor ofhistology (microscopic anatomy)Oct 25 Yes—this is acondition called congenital panhypopituitarism—congenital meaning present from birth, panmeaning “all” because all of the pituitary hormones are lacking. My grandson wasborn with this. He’s now 7 years old, very healthy, lively, and smart, but hehas to take daily injections of growth hormone and others such as thyroidhormone orally, with the regimen to be changed atpuberty (testosterone, for example) and in adulthood. He has to have anemergency cortisol injection kit close on hand at all times (and his teachershave to be educated on its use) in case any stress brings on an “adrenalcrisis.” Without immediate treatment, that can be life-threatening. He’ll haveto live with this his whole life. Q9 Why is evolution referred to as ascientific theory and not a fact? A9 Claire Jordan Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaperThu Evolution is anobserved fact, and the Theory of Evolution is our current bestunderstanding of what drives evolution and how it happens. In thesame way, gravity is an observed fact, and then we have a theory about what’sgoing on to cause it - except that we understand evolution *much* better thangravity.
