- Almond
carved work (Exodus 25:33-34; 37:19-20). There are two forms of the plant, the one (with pink flowers) producing sweet almonds, and the other (with white flowers) producing bitter almonds. The kernel of the former contains a fixed oil and emulsion. As late as the early 20th century it was used internally in medicine, with the stipulation that it must not be adulterated with the bitter almond; it remains fairly popular in alternative medicine but has fallen out of prescription among doctors. The bitter almond is rather broader and shorter than the sweet almond, and contains about 50% of the fixed oil

- Amygdalin
Closely related to these glucosides is dhurrin, C14H17O7N, isolated by W. Dunstan and T. A. Henry from the common sorghum or "great millet," Sorghum vulgare; this substance is decomposed by emulsin or hydrochloric acid into d-glucose, cyanide, and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde. (from an old encyclopedia) Amygdalin is also called laevomandelonitrile, or Laetrile for short, and used to prevent cancer, though this is not approved by the FDA. The US government's National Institutes of Health reports that two clinical trials with laetrile have been published. One Phase I study found that amygdalin caused minimal side effects; the side effects that were seen were similar

- Antioxidant
chemical that prevents the oxidation of other chemicals. In biological systems, the normal processes of oxidation (plus a minor contribution from ionizing radiation) produce highly reactive free radicals. These can readily react with and damage other molecules, but the presence of extremely easily oxidisable compounds in the system can "mop up" free radicals before they damage other essential molecules. The following vitamins have shown positive antioxidants effects: Retinol, Vitamin A or beta-carotene. It has been discovered that beta-carotene protects dark green, yellow and orange vegetables and fruits from solar radiation damage and it is thought that it plays a similar role

If the cells are smaller than normal, the anemia is said to be microcytic; if they are normal size, normocytic; and if they are larger than normal, the anemia is classified as macrocytic.

- Ancient Mesoamerican agriculture
still a mystery. Teosinte has been proposed as the ancestor of maize, but teosinte looks nothing like modern maize and many molecular botanists do not agree with this theory. The origin of maize aside, it became the single most important crop in all of Mesoamerica. Maize is storable for long periods of time, it can be ground into flour, and it easily turns into surplus for future use. Maize became vital to the survival of the people of Mesoamerica, and that is reflected in their origin myths, art work, and rituals. The second most important crop in Mesoamerican agriculture is the
