These are the biological equivalent of a template.They can develop into any kind of mature functional cell andthus help cure many degenerative and auto-immune diseases.The other kind of cloning is much derided in popular culture -and elsewhere - as the harbinger of a Brave, New World. Anucleus from any cell of a donor is embedded in an egg whose ownnucleus has been removed. The egg is then implanted in a woman'swomb and a cloned baby is born nine months later. Biologically,the cloned infant is a replica of the donor.Cloning is often confused with other advances in bio-medicineand bio-engineering - such as genetic selection. It cannot - initself - be used to produce &quot;perfect humans&quot; or select sex orother traits. Hence, some of the arguments against cloning areeither specious or fuelled by ignorance.It is true, t...]]></content:encoded>

What is leftis a concentrated unnatural substance which the human body isnot able to handle, at least not in anywhere near the quantitiesthat is now ingested in today's accepted lifestyle. Sugar isaddictive. The average American now consumes approximately lbs. of sugar per year. This is per man, woman and child. The biggest reason sugar does more damage than any other poison,drug or narcotic is twofold: a It is considered a &quot;food&quot; and ingested in such massivequantities, and b The damaging effects begin early, from the day a baby isborn and is fed sugar in its formula.
