that chemicals that are produced when meats are cooked
at high temperatures lead to inflammation, oxidative stress
– a process that can damage cells – and insulin resistance,
which is when the body does not properly respond to
insulin. These same chemicals may also raise the risk of
high blood pressure as well as developing cancer. Still, the
researchers noted that the new study found only an
association, and cannot prove that eating grilled meat
actually causes high blood pressure or cancer. Future
studies are needed to further examine the link and to look
at other cooking methods.

evaluations. Access to money, school, and medicine can
all change apparent intelligence, but IQ ignores inherent
intellect. It is also wrong to say that a particular race is
superior to another in terms of IQ. The established
correlation between race and IQ doesn’t reveal an inherent
genetic advantage. Research also suggests that the
physical toll of illness prevents proper brain development.
So, it makes sense that people in disease-prone areas with
poor healthcare systems wouldn’t get high scores on these
types of examinations.

including food production, restoration of endangered
species populations, wild stock population enhancement,
habitat restoration and so on. Fish farming is the most
common type of aquaculture. It involves the selective
breeding of fish, either in fresh water or sea water, with the
purpose of producing a food source for consumption. Fish
farming is highly exploited as it allows for the production of
a cheap source of protein. Furthermore, it is much easier to
do it than other kinds of farming as fish are not care-
intensive, only requiring food and proper water conditions
as well as temperatures. The process is also less land-
intensive as the size of ponds required to grow some fish
species is much smaller than the space required to grow
the same amount of protein from beef cattle.

psychologists can share information without the client's
consent. They may disclose private information in order to
protect the patient or the public from serious harm if, for
example, a client discusses plans to attempt suicide or
harm another person. Psychologists are also required to
report ongoing domestic violence, abuse or neglect of
children, the elderly or people with disabilities. They may
also release information if they receive a court order. That
