Bread would be flat if it weren't for farts. Little critters called yeast are put into bread dough. When the yeast eats the sugar in the dough, it gives them carbon dioxide gas. They fart the gas which causes the bread dough to rise. Think about that the next time you bite into a peanut butter sandwich.
Link to parasites grows stronger
Link to parasites grows stronger New research has added to the evidence that a
major cause of the large number of frog deformities across the
United States is a parasitic flatworm, or trematode. The trematodes
are not killing the frogs, only deforming them, and the presence of
the worms where there is deformity does not rule out other causes
for frog deformities and deaths. The high incidence of frog
deformities across North America in recent years is of growing
concern to scientists. 24 DECEMBER 1999, P. 2434
