I found this to be a very interesting subject. There is quite a bit of controversy on this issue. Some people believe that the measles virus in the MMR vaccine is the cause of many children obtaining autism. There has also been documentation of the live polio vaccine causing paralytic disease. The number may be low on these cases, but it’s still worth looking into.

I found this article by going to google.com. From there I looked for articles from credited sources. This article gives information on both sides of the issue. It goes into detail about the benefits and potential danger that can arise from vaccinations. It is a credited journal with case studies. This article would be beneficial because it gives examples of people who have had adverse affects to vaccines.

Eating Disorders
This is something that hits close to home for me. I’ve gone through a stage in my life when my eating/thinking was extremely unhealthy. I also know a lot of younger girls who struggle with body issues. This issue is becoming more and more prominent in our society. I believe that the world of entertainment plays a large role in swaying girls’ thoughts to think that they have to look a certain way and if they don’t then the answer is to starve themselves. I would like to research the causes of eating disorders, and the effects it has on the mind and body.

Superbugs
Lately in the news we’ve been hearing about a string of bacteria that cannot be easily killed. They are known as Superbugs. With the extraneous use of antibiotics, bacteria has mutated into forms that are extremely resilient and resistant to even the strongest antibiotics. I’m really into health and taking care of my body, so I think that this would be a really interesting topic
