Most children might hear their parents telling them to drink at least a glass of milk per day. Why is that? What benefits does milk intake provide for us?
First of all, milk is one of the best sources for calcium. Calcium intake is crucial during early childhood as it contributes to formation of strong bones. Additionally, the vitamin D found in milk facilitates calcium absorption through the digestive tract as well.
Milk also has abundant protein, which is an essential nutrient for growth and repair. Taking enough protein is especially important for children as it is vital to brain development and body tissue growth.
Furthermore, regular intake of milk can lower people's risk of obesity. Some studies found that dairy products might help us lose weight as certain nutrients in milk affect the way our body stores energy in its fat cells.

READ THE ARTICLE
We can see numerous cases in which two species live in close association for an extended time in nature. This partnership, which is called symbiosis, is often categorized into three types.
The first type is mutualism, in which both organisms benefit from the relationship. More often than not, this kind of association is rather obligatory. In other words, both species will have difficulty surviving if they are separated.
In the second type commensalism, one member benefits whereas the other is not affected by the association. They may share food, space, shelter or transport, but one member will not die even if it gets out of the association.
The last type, parasitism is the relationship in which one organism benefits
and the other is harmed. In most cases, this kind of co-existence lasts for the lifetime of one party.

Stem cells have been the center of extensive research due to their certain ability to assist in curing disease.
The most important property of stem cells is that they can grow into nearly any cell type and thus may replace cells lost to disease or injury. According to scientists, stem cells could become a revolutionary treatment for cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's and hundreds of other illnesses.
Next, stem cells have the advantage of being easy to obtain for medical purposes. They can be extracted from embryos before the embryo's cells come to have specialized functions. Each embryo has nearly 100 stem cells, a number which doubles every 2 to 3 days. The cells can then be kept alive forever in stem cell banks.
Finally, using stem cells in clinics could someday save billions of dollars in drug costs. Treatment of disease would be less dependent on the pharmaceutical industry and would be controlled more by the doctors themselves.
