Dear Dr Health, I think too many people take
weight-loss pills without really knowing that
they can damage their health. I read about a
Canadian actress who had to go to hospital
because she took some weight-loss pills. She lost
7kg in two months. However, the pills contained
something that causes liver failure, so she had
to get a new liver. A young Chinese man donated
part of his liver to save her life. Recently, my
cousin read about a new weight-loss pill and she
really wants to try it. Ive told her the story
of the actress, but she wont listen. Shes only
12, but has become a girl who is worried about
her figure and how she looks. She often refuses
to eat. My aunt is worried that my cousin will
buy the pills in secret. She says health is
priceless. She thinks that children must eat
properly as they are growing all the time. What
do you think I should do? How can I help my
cousin? Best wishes, Guo xilin

Animals can move from place to place, but plants
cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can
run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot
run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But
plants can defend themselves by using both
physical and chemical means.Some plants have
their own ways to keep animals away. For example,
the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines
(?) that discourage grass-eating animalsMany
plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants
produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an
unpleasant reactionMany plants depend on both
physical and chemical defenses(05??????D)
