Great Book! If you like all of the little snippets of history thrown into little 1-2 page synopsis, then this is the book for you! Lewis's work is well-researched and always interesting! Highly recommended for lovers of history! Some of the topics he explores seem completely random, but they all tie in in some way or another.

Whether offered to 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th grade, the Guinness Book is always avidly sought by my students. Year after year, it's my key to converting boys from reluctant to avid readers!

I was so hopeful. I have fine, curly, color-treated hair that is hard to manage, and I thought this product would help keep my crazy hair a little healthier. It didn't.

I am convinced the bacteria in our mouth is a major cause of diabetes (and other diseases) if allowed to enter the bloodstream. I became diabetic a few months after having 4 cavities filled and I could never figure out why. I'm not overweight, it does not run in my family, and always ate fairly healthy. After much research I have undoubtedly concluded it was due to the dental work I had. Studying oral microbiology I learned oral bacteria have evolved mechanisms to sense their environment and evade or modify the host. Bacteria has one goal, to survive. Bacteria needs sugar to survive, it's what feeds it (btw it's not sugar that causes tooth decay, it's the acidic excrement from bacteria. Sugar simply feeds the bacteria which causes the bacteria to multiply rapidly and eventually tooth decay). Once this bacteria enters the blood stream it then has an avenue to wreak havoc on the rest of your body. Since it's goal is to survive, and with it's ability to modify the host (your body) it makes complete sense that it would create an environment most favorable for it to survive by attacking the pancreas in order to raise sugar levels in the host. But don't take my word for it, a study done in 2000 verifies the link between oral bacteria and systematic disease such as diabetes.
