Moken Sea Gypsies and their underwater Adaption
The Moken people of Thailand have lived for centuries as hunters of the ocean. They hunt with traditional methods, using no modern day equipment. The Moken people have spent so much time in the water that they have developed the ability to see clearly underwater. There vision is twice as good as normal human vision. Normal human vision underwater is blurry do to the combination of water and oxygen which reduces the refractive power of the eye's corneal surface.This refractive power is what allows humans to see clearly. The Moken people have developed the ability to change the muscular shape of their eye lens allowing them to see more clearly underwater.

A Brighter Future???
Antioxidants are substances that may protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Free radical damage may lead to cancer. Antioxidants interact with and stabilize free radicals and may prevent some of the damage free radicals might otherwise cause. Examples of antioxidants include beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamins C, E, and A, and other substances.
It is believe that antioxidants can help prevent many disease such as cancer. Considerable laboratory evidence from chemical, cell culture, and animal studies indicates that antioxidants may slow or possibly prevent the development of cancer. However, information from recent clinical trials is less clear.
What are thoughts? Do you believe that these antioxidants could help minimize future cancer cases? Leave a comment!!!
