In this article I present you some interesting facts about antibiotics and discovery date of essential vitamins. Hope this is helpful to you...
1) Virtually all types of antibiotics act only on replicating bacteria.
2) Antibiotics can't distinguish between the "good" and the "bad" bacteria
3) The worst thing one can do is to take only a few of the antibiotic prescribed
4) How antibiotic resistance happens?
5) Antibiotics are not completely metabolized in the body and are released as active compounds into the environment
6) Bacteria subsisting on antibiotics
7) The dosage is a very important factor in antibiotic effectiveness
8) Who prescribes antibiotics inappropriately? Foreign, extra-busy and older MDs
9) Virtually no new classes of antibiotics have been discovered in recent years.
10) Antibiotics may act as growth/obesity promoters in humans as an inadvertent result of antibiotic pollution
11) Green tea boosts the bacteria-killing activity of the antibiotics
12) Antibiotics may interfere with immune system development
13) Antibiotic "spectrum of activity" and "potency" are not the same
14) Antibiotics are life-savers
15) Penicillin is the #1 cause of life-threatening anaphylactic shock
16) More antibiotics are used on animals than on humans
The discovery dates of the vitamins and their sources (year is approximate, depending on definition of "discovery.")
