For instance, when we sit it is a gravity force in action, which one might think that it takes little effort to sit, but contrary to the notion, it is adding a lot of weight to the spine and disk.

Toxicology is a hybrid of physiology and chemistry that deals with drugs, poisons, and other toxic materials, and how these substances change or harm living beings, especially humans. The very first toxicological test dates back to 1775 when Swedish chemist, Karl Wilhelm Scheele, found a way to prove that arsenic (As) was to blame in a suspicious death.
