Question 1

Spices and norvasc (amlodipine): There are no adverse effects of spices and norvasc (amlodipine). Eat to them to your heart's content.

Question 2

who donates organs in china?

Accepted Answer

Politically charged: China has a reputation for executing prisoners on schedule to harvest their organs.  I don't think this qualifies as "donation".  There probably is a smaller, more traditional donation market there.  Japan, which does transplants on their people, have a tradition of not donating organs, so they are a ready market for organs of chinese origin.

Question 4

why should i add spices to my food?

Accepted Answer

Your taste-buds: You don't have to add anything if you don't want to. Often spices add flavors to your foods and people want to taste different things. Some makes food smell good which can enhance appetite. For the most part, adding spices don't really add much health values to your foods, they just add flavors and make food less boring to consume--good food = a pleasure of life! good luck.

Question 5

is china lily soya sauce good for you?

Accepted Answer

Not especially: Soy sauced tend to be loaded with salt which contributes to hypertension in some (not all) people. There's little magic in food choices. Health is more likely to come from a sensible, balanced diet, staying physically fit, and avoiding tobacco, illegal drugs, and excesses in alcohol use.

Question 6

are allergic reactions hereditary?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: Allergies to specific triggers, like peanuts, shrimp, dust mites, etc., are not inherited from one generation to the next. However, the general state of "being allergic" (atopy) can be hereditary, so children of parents with asthma or seasonal allergies may have increased risk to develop those or other allergic conditions. See an allergist for more information.

Accepted Answer

Depends: An allergic reaction usually occurs within 20 mins after exposure to an inhaled allergen but it may occur as late as 2 hrs with food allergy and 6-8 hrs with red meat allergy. For allergic skin reactions, it is usually from a different immune mechanism when the contact is on the skin. The reaction may not develop until 1-3 days after the exposure (poison ivy is one such example).
