          'With more and easier access to high-calorie
 
-
foods the worldwide prevalence of obesity has
 
-
been on the rise in the past quarter century. In
 
-
Canada alone, the average rate of obesity has
 
-
doubled from 1979 to 2004, and approximately
 
-
23% of Canadian adults are obese (As estimated
 
-
by Statistics Canada). Obesity is typically
 
-
associated with many adverse health conditions
 
-
and puts an enormous strain on the public
 
-
healthcare system. Our goal is to engineer a
 
-
strain of Lacobacillus to express the enzymes
 
-
required for the synthesis of cellulose from glucose
 
-
in an attempt to reduce the caloric intake
 
-
of obese individuals. Cellulose is a polymer of
 
-
linked D-glucose units that cannot be digested
 
-
by humans. Lactobacillus is a strain of bacteria,
 
-
which is commonly used to make yogurt,
 
-
cheese, beer and other fermented foods, and
 
-
is in fact part of the natural human gut fl ora.
 
-
The idea would be to have an obese individual
 
-
ingest yogurt containing our engineered strain
 
-
of bacteria as a probiotic. That way after they
 
-
have consumed their meal, a portion of the
 
-
glucose from the meal would be converted into
 
-
cellulose in the intestines, effectively reducing
 
-
their caloric intake.

          Li Europan lingues es membres del sam familie. Lor separat existentie es un myth. Por scientie, musica, sport etc, li tot Europa usa li sam vocabularium. Li lingues differe solmen in li grammatica, li pronunciation e li plu commun vocabules. Omnicos directe al desirabilita; de un nov lingua franca: on refusa continuar payar custosi traductores. It solmen va esser necessi far uniform grammatica, pronunciation e plu sommun paroles.

          Ma quande lingues coalesce, li grammatica del resultant lingue es plu simplic e regulari quam ti del coalescent lingues. Li nov lingua franca va esser plu simplic e regulari quam li existent Europan lingues. It va esser tam simplic quam Occidental: in fact, it va esser Occidental. A un Angleso it va semblar un simplificat Angles, quam un skeptic Cambridge amico dit me que Occidental es.
