War is a bad thing for the world, be it between nations, or between individuals. It affects the economy, the overall state of the world and in most cases, innocent casualties. To prevent war, creating awareness is the first step.
To prevent war, we must first try to understand what causes it. We need to learn more about the history, culture, religions and economies of those war-stricken parts of the world. And address our attitudes about these conditions. It seems everything from early colonialism through global economic changes and geopolitical rivalries, have contributed to poverty, desperation, hatred and, mostly, the religious fanaticism that seems to contribute to war-like circumstances. Though there has never been an actual shooting war between two nuclear powers, the possibility of a new "Hiroshima" is a reality. Issues of national sovereignty and religious reign somehow seem worth the risk of nuclear war. We can only hope that the leaders of these nuclear-arms-holding countries see no conceivable justification of that risk.
Wars, disease, social problems and lack of infrastructure prevent third world and developing countries from being able to gain the insights needed to prevent war-like strife. War breeds poverty like nothing else in existence. One in every five Africans lives in a country strewn with armed conflict. From dealing with the local warlords seeking to expand their control, to organized national armies clashing with their neighbors, the people can barely grow food enough to feed themselves as a result. War destroys the infrastructure and prevents a buildup of anything beneficial that may help their people out of their impoverished condition.
It may be hard to admit but, part of how we've gotten here is the West's tendency to impose our own cultures, values and expectations on these regions without taking the time to tolerate and understand the people we're impacting. People interested in ways to prevent war cannot afford to repeat that mistake. Men are continually, and mistakenly so, inventing bigger weapons of mass destruction. The world continues to get smaller. And countries are becoming more and more dependent on one another for the things they need. The distinction between those starting wars and those fighting wars has been obsolete. These are some of the biggest causes that have made war so gruesome. Since we, people of Earth, are still unable to find the way to peace, our human intelligence has gone bankrupt. People have tried before to find a way to prevent war, but haven't succeeded. If the problem is to be solved at all, one thing is certain: It will not be solved without a lot of collective, hard thinking. Want to help prevent war? Reduce your dependence on oil.

Grapes increase iron deficiency risk: Research

Despite the benefits reported for antioxidants, a new study suggests some of these compounds may place the consumers at risk of developing iron deficiency and anemia.
Previous studies have pointed out the various health benefits of polyphenols including their capability for fighting prostate cancer and leukemia, reducing the risk of heart disease, improving bone health, and preventing glaucoma and other eye conditions.
According to a recently released study, some polyphenol antioxidants, commonly found in legumes and fruits as well as chocolate, green tea and olive oil, are responsible for iron deficiency, the most common nutritional deficiency in the world.
Polyphenol antioxidants grape seed extract and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) found in green tea interact with the mechanism through which iron is absorbed in the intestinal tract.
In other words, the combination of polyphenol and iron cannot pass the intestinal cells to enter the bloodstream, resulting in iron deficiency in high-risk individuals, such as pregnant women and young children.
Scientists therefore urged individuals particularly those who are at risk of iron deficiency to keep an eye on the polyphenols they consume.

The United States must find an option, using the aforementioned instrument of diplomacy to limit North Korea's nuclear capabilities and eliminate all possible present and future creation of nuclear weapons by the state. This applies to the core national interest of protecting the United States and its citizens from physical harm. Even with the U.S outside of weapons range and North Korean having extremely limited capabilities, the deployment of a nuclear weapon will cause global panic. Once the button has been pressed no one can know where the fighting will end, and, especially with the technology of the present the ramifications of such a war would be catastrophic.
The best possible course of action the United States can pursue is that in which North Korea stands to benefit financially. This is where the comparatively powerful economies of the United States, Japan, and South Korea can play a major role. By pursuing the possibility of a trade agreement North Korea is likely to be attracted to the potential assistance this would provide to the struggling state, even casting a favorable light on the current government. It has been established that although North Korea seems opposed to economic benefits in the situation and appears unlikely to agree to dismantle its nuclear weapons for such, successful negotiation could easily highlight the gains the state could acquire. Early on in the opening negotiations it would not be necessary to make North Korea incapable of generating legitimate nuclear power for domestic purposes, which could be monitored later on to make sure the state does not overstep boundaries. Eliminating the legitimate means of nuclear power North Korea has at the present could come across as an insult to the government (not that they don't deserve it) and make it less likely for North Korea to agree to negotiation talks. If the focus is placed on preventing the creation of nuclear weapons however, the United States and its allies can communicate their concerns more effectively as opposed to coming across as too intrusive.
Yet another upside to a diplomatic agreement through economic means would be the benefits all states involved besides North Korea would experience. The possible trade agreement would not only open new markets for North Korean goods, but also Japan and the U.S specifically would gain the benefits of a hungry North Korean market yearning for foreign goods. Once it becomes apparent exactly how much of a boost the North Korean economy could potentially experience, and this is weighed against the relatively unsuccessful demands that would follow a further North Korean nuclear build-up, this option will likely seem attractive to the state. Assuming a successful negotiation and the consequential dismantling of North Korean nuclear weapons measures such as U.N involvement can be put in place to prevent future rearmament. With a higher standard of living and more tolerable conditions in North Korea, the states the population once viewed as enemies may take on a more friendly aspect, further preventing any future capitalizing by the North Korean government on citizen's desperation, to instigate hatred of the United States and its Asian Allies
