There are many of them listed in the chapters for those macros. (Do not do diabetes please-select something more obscure or rare). (also do not pick atherosclerosis or marasmus and kwashiorikor) Write a 1-2 page, single spaced article about the disease and what causes it. Include 2 minimum scientific peer-reviewed references-your book is not one of the 2 references but could be reference # 3. Check out the references at the end of the chapters for that disease.
