A recent study has confirmed that diabetic patients may benefit from regular intake of capsules containing Moringa oleifera (malunggay) leaves. The study says that malunggay not only reduces blood sugar levels, but also lowers the risks of stroke and heart attack.

High blood sugar reading is just the tip of the “metabolic syndrome” iceberg associated with diabetes.

Less attention has been given to the diabetic’s chronic inflammatory state. That’s why even with controlled sugar, many diabetic patients suffer the high risks of stroke and heart attack.

The call comes as interest grows in the swarm of asteroids and comets that orbit the sun in the Earth's immediate neighborhood. The concerns were sparked in part by several recent false alarms about impending impacts.

"In some sense, it's something we know we need to worry about, but we need to decide at what level we need to worry about it -- and that's a question for everybody," said Daniel D. Durda, a research scientist in the department of space studies of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo.

In recent weeks, a paper written by Durda and fellow scientists Clark R. Chapman and Robert E. Gold has been making the rounds among experts who study impact hazards. The goal, they write in the 19-page paper, is to encourage discussion of how to replace the "haphazard and unbalanced'' way the world now addresses any potential impact. 

"They are spot-on that this is a problem. They are also right on time in terms of this just now being recognized as serious enough a topic so as to go to the next step in terms of 'what if,''' said Richard Binzel, a professor of planetary science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who developed a scale to rank the potential danger of an impact. "We have now overcome the giggle factor.'' 
QUESTIONS:
1. How do scientist believe dinosaurs were led to their extinction?
2. Is an asteroid or comets impact ever totally predictable?
3.  Should the danger of asteroids be the top priority of any nation? Why or why not?
4. Why do we need to create a plan of action for asteroid impact?

4. We need to create a plan for the biggest asteroid impact or even just the ordinary impact on Earth. Because many life can be ruined if don't make a step on how to slip away on that Asteroid impact. We need a review or even a short review on the last Asteroid impact so that we can use it to be a guide or it can help us to be ready on the biggest Asteroid impact or even without a Asteroid impact we can know on how to escape when there is the time that the Asteroid is approaching on Earth.
