    ACHOO Syndrome causes uncontrollable sneezing after you have been in the light & now it is dark

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    ACHOO syndrome, also known as photic sneeze reflex, is a phenomenon where some individuals sneeze when exposed to bright light. This reflex is not triggered by transitioning from light to darkness, but rather by the sudden exposure to bright light. Therefore, the statement that ACHOO syndrome causes uncontrollable sneezing after being in the light and now it is dark is false.

This is due to various factors such as higher rates of high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes within the African American community. Additionally, socioeconomic factors and limited access to healthcare may contribute to the higher risk of heart disease.

    Sunlight

    • Makes Vitamin C

    • Makes Folic Acid

    • Destroys Vitamin C

    • Destroys Folic Acid

    Correct Answer
    A. Destroys Folic Acid
    Explanation
    Sunlight destroys folic acid. Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that is sensitive to light. When exposed to sunlight, folic acid molecules can break down and become inactive. This is why it is recommended to store folic acid supplements in a cool, dark place to maintain their potency. Additionally, cooking foods rich in folic acid for too long or at high temperatures can also lead to the degradation of this vitamin. Therefore, it is important to handle and store folic acid-containing substances properly to prevent their destruction by sunlight.

    You are a Latino, you will most likely die of:

    • Heart Disease

    • Liver Disease

    • Cancer

    • Lung Disease

    Correct Answer
    A. Liver Disease
    Explanation
    The given answer suggests that as a Latino, one is more likely to die of liver disease compared to other causes such as heart disease, cancer, or lung disease. This could be attributed to various factors such as a higher prevalence of risk factors like obesity, diabetes, and alcohol consumption among the Latino population, which are known to contribute to the development of liver disease. Additionally, certain viral infections like hepatitis B and C are more common in this population, further increasing the risk of liver disease and its complications.
