What is Canola Oil? Canola is a plant that is a member of a large family of plants called crucifers. Crucifers are easy to identify because the four yellow flower petals form the shape of a cross. Canola plants grow to a height of one to two metres. The yellow flower produces seed pods that are about 5 centimetres in length. There is an average of 60 to 100 pods per plant. Each seed pod contains 20 to 30 tiny, round seeds which are 1 mm. in diameter.
May 6, 2008 (Washington) -- The antipsychotic drug Seroquel may help battle major depression and generalized anxiety disorder, two new studies suggest. Seroquel is already approved to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (formerly called manic-depressive illness). The new studies were presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. Major depression, which affects 15 to 19 million Americans, is not just your typical blues.
Seroquel acts as a mood stabilizer; regulating the imbalance of serotonin and dopamine, which are two of the primary chemicals that are found in the brain. Many researchers believe that a chemical imbalance is the root of most psychological disorders.
