1. New Data Show Ice Loss in Greenland Accelerating November 17, 2009 Metling ice in Greenland. New data confirm the Greenland ice sheet is losing mass at an accelerating rate.  The new calculations, based on state-of-the-art satellite observations combined with models of Greenland's changing icescape, are further evidence, scientists say, of the impact of global warming.  Greenland has lost about 1,500 gigatons of ice mass between 2000 and 2008, according to a new report, resulting in an average sea level rise of 0.46 millimeters per year.  A gigaton is one billion tons.Between 2006 and 2008, the authors say the rate at which Greenland's ice shee...

2. Increase Your Fish Oil HDL Levels With Omega 3 And Lower Your Cholesterol November 10, 2009 Scientists first discovered the cardio protective effect of fish oils when they were studying the Greenland Eskimo’s. the scientists were amazed to discover that the Eskimo’s ate large amounts of fat, yet had a low incidence of heart disease. The scientists eventually worked out that they were eating fish rich in Omega 3, which lowered their cholesterol and increased their fish oil HDL levels. As you know, fish oil HDL is the good cholesterol. It is when your LDL gets high that you have a problem. LDL cholesterol sticks to your artery walls and causes hardening of the arteries or atherosc... (read more) Author: Gordon Hall

3. The Eskimos Ate Pure Omega3 - You Can Have A Low Incidence Of Heart Disease Too October 27, 2009 We used to obtain most of our fatty acids from eating two or three meals of fish per week, now however we are unable to consume so much fish because the oceans as well as the fish are polluted too. Now we are forced to take a pure Omega3 capsule each day to obtain the essential fatty acids that we require on a daily basis. It is getting to be quite a few years ago now, but when scientists started to study the Greenland Eskimos, they made quite a startling discovery, the Eskimos had a high fat diet consisting of whale blubber, fatty fish etc. Yet they had a remarkably low incidence of hea...

4. How to Compare Fish Oils October 19, 2009 If you compare fish oil, you will see that there are three basic kinds on the market. The one that has been around for more years than any other is the natural triglyceride form. Triglycerides are a kind of fat, composed of three fatty acids and a glycerol or glycerin molecule. High triglycerides in the bloodstream are a risk factor for heart disease and other health problems, which is why we are told to limit our intake of dietary fats. But, in the 1970s, researchers reported that the Greenland Eskimos had a very low incidence of heart disease (practically non-existence), even t... (read more) Author: Laurel Cohen

6. Advantages and Disadvantages of Green Energy October 05, 2009 The United States produces 6 billion metric tons of CO2 annually. Yes that is Billion! Forty percent of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated in the US comes from the generation of electricity. We are certainly not the only offender, but we are one of, if not the largest, contributor to the greenhouse gas problem. The accumulation of greenhouse gasses is causing the earth to warm, reducing the size of ice deposits in the Arctic, Antarctica, and Greenland. This has already caused severe problems for small Pacific Island nations and threatens costal areas all over the world. The reduction of ... (read more) Author: Susan Ozmore

8. The Columbian Exchange Beginning with Spanish Colonization August 10, 2009 The Europeans’ so-called discovery of the so-called New World goes down in history as one of the most important and earth-shattering moments in human history, ranking right up there with the advent of agriculture, the domestication of animals, and the discovery of the use of fire. Although the Vikings made it to Newfoundland around the year 1000, they apparently decided that Greenland would make for a much better colony and scrammed, leaving the Spanish with all the glory almost five centuries later. The ensuing exchange of plants, animals, people, and diseases has since been named the “Columb... (read more) Author: Paul Thomson

17. Cold Snap leads to Rise in Car Accident Claims January 23, 2009 As England languishes in the grip of a ferocious cold spell, bringing temperatures of -10, colder than current temperatures in Antarctica, Greenland and Iceland, the icy conditions have contributed to a rise in the number of car accidents. The below freezing temperatures mean that there are more cars on the road as the option of walking or cycling seems highly unattractive. At the same time, driving conditions are unpredictable and dangerous. The combination of extreme cold weather leading to slippery icy roads along with higher traffic volumes, leads to an increase in the number of ... (read more) Author: Carys Robshaw

18. The Medieval Greenland Viking Association with Pre-historical Indian Tribes of North America January 16, 2009 Between 986 and 1425, the generally accepted 500-year longevity of the medieval Norse settlements on the island of Greenland, a gradual assimilation process began with the native peoples of the Arctic and present-day North America that culminated in the disappearance from history of all 4000 of the Norse settlers. What happened to them has been a source of contention ever since-nobody knows to this day. We know three aspects of their disappearance with fair certainty: they did not die out, they did not voyage back to Europe, and they did not simply disappear. A process of gradual assimilatio...

20. Advanced Omega provides you with essential fatty acids November 18, 2008 Some of the fatty acids are vary much essential for our body. Essential fatty acids provide an abundance of health-promoting properties. Many years ago, scientists were puzzled by an apparent "paradox" that existed among a tribe of Greenland Eskimos. It was observed that despite the high levels of fat in their diets, the population had remarkably low levels of cardiovascular disease. Scientists found that the agents responsible for the low levels of disease were the Omega-3 fatty acids, unsaturated fats which are found in high concentrations in northern cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel...

21. Getting Away from it All September 03, 2008 There is a lesser-known small island in the North Atlantic called Iceland where you can still get away from it all and experience nature in a near pristine state. That is just what I needed. Iceland is a country roughly the size of Kentucky but with a lot fewer people. It is located a little below the Arctic Circle roughly between Greenland and the United Kingdom and about a 5-hour flight from the East coast of the US. It has a population of just over three hundred thousand people which means that the population density is very low. Population numbers and geography aside, Iceland...

23. Complete Information on Acidemia propionic with Treatment and Prevention April 23, 2008 Acidemia propionic is an organic aciduria produced by the deficiency of propionyl CoA-carboxylase, producing a ketotic hyperglycinemia and recurrent metabolic imbalance. In this disorder the body is unable to process certain parts of proteins and lipids properly. The condition appears to be more common in several populations worldwide, including the Inuit population of Greenland, some Amish communities, and Saudi Arabians. Death can occur quickly, due to secondary hyperammonemia, infection, cardiomyopathy, or basal ganglial stroke. Acidemia propionic is characterized almost immediately in newb...

25. Tips for Selecting Snowboard or Ski Goggles April 09, 2008 The earliest use of snow goggles starts with the Inuit people who lived in the coastal regions of what are now Siberia, Greenland, and Alaska. Archeologists have uncovered prehistoric sites thousands of years old with snow goggles in them. The Inuit version of the snow goggle was a carved piece of bone, shell or driftwood, with horizontal slits for eye holes about an inch and half wide. The goggles were held in place by sinew, and were used to cut down on sun’s glare and ultraviolet rays, thus preventing snow blindness (snow blindness is in effect a sunburn in your eyes, and is an painful ...
