with these compounds and their effects on humans. Organic Compounds and Human Health - General The phrase "organic compounds" applies to thousands of structures, many of them harmful.
An article entitled "Volatile Organic Compounds Affect Human Health" discussed the potential for harm caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are "a precursor of the particulate matter which,
together with ozone, creates smog, a contributor to global warming" (Cole, 2005). The article is an update as of spring, 2005, of a presentation Sheila Cole, a member
of the Environmental Health Association of Nova Scotia Advisory Board; gave in 2003. It is available on the Internet at http://www.environmentalhealth.ca/s05orc.html. The article reveals the fact that "at least
70,000 chemicals in regular daily use impact our lives on a continuous basis, challenging our immune systems" (Cole, 2005). Some of the terms used to describe what happens to
us as our bodies deal with this continuous assault are "total load concept" and "body burden," both of which refer to the cumulative load these chemicals have on us (Cole,
2005). Cole reveals that "VOCs form a large component of ones total body burden" (Cole, 2005). The VOCs that we are spilling into the atmosphere daily are having
a tremendously damaging effect on human health, and Cole argues that we must "cut deeply into the load of toxins" we face daily, or we will pay the price in
billions of dollars in healthcare costs (Cole, 2005). Carbohydrates Carbohydrates, for all the advice we hear about their place in our diet, dont seem to be well
understood. An article by Barbara O. Schneeman appeared in 2001, entitled "Carbohydrate, Friend or Foe? Summary of Research Needs." It was published in The Journal of Nutrition, which
