7.What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry,art,or mathematics during pregnancy seem totally impossible.How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child?There is no connection between their nervous systems.Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child,because it changes the activity of her glands (腺体) and so the chemistry of her blood.Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse.But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior.It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics.It may be,however,that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence.If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics,they will probably make a success of that study.
As for musical ability,it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear,a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute,and particularly vigorous emotions.If these factors are all organized around music,the child may become a musician.The same factors,in other circumstance might be organized about some other center of interest.The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry.The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery.It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited,then nor even the love of it,but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill.Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.

Each type of oil has what is called a"smoke point."The smoke point is the specific temperature at which the oil starts to break down,or in more technical terms,its molecular structure begins to change.These molecular changes result in; changes in flavor,as well as changes in nutritional value,specifically,the nutritional value of the oil starts to reduce;changing what once may have been considered an especially healthy oil,like Olive,into one that is unhealthy.
The higher an oil's smoke point is,the higher the temperature of the oil can be.As a result,each type of oil should be used for the cooking method that is most appropriate to its individual smoke point and heat tolerance.Here is a quick guide for the next time you reach for your favorite oil.
Heat During Cooking | Oil | Best Use |
Low to Moderate | Coconut | Baking (low heat ) Light Sauteing Pressure Cooking Salads |
Corn | ||
Olive | ||
Peanut | ||
Sesame | ||
Walnut | ||
Medium Heat | Macadamia Nut | Baking Sauteing Stir-Frying |
Safflower | ||
High Heat | Grape-seed | Deep Browning Deep-Frying |
Sunflower | ||
