★★★★ My kids loved this book! By L. Markovitz This book is very easy to understand for kids and helpful if you want them to understand why you want them to eat certain foods. It also explains food groups on a level they can understand. ★★☆☆☆ Mostly good By Sycamore Sewing The book explains the nutrition（营养）you get and which part of your body it feeds. The book is great except the page that says most of your food should be grains（谷物）and you should get all of your energy from the things like cereal and bagels. It doesn't look right. I just don't agree on it. ★★★★★ Recommended（推荐） By Ellen I would recommend this to any Mom! It tells Moms what is healthy food. |

According to a US study with 1,932 people, friends have a kinship coefficient (亲缘系数) that is 0.0014 higher than in strangers! The kinship coefficient is an easy way to see how genetically related two people are – the higher the number, the closer the relation.
Don’t look down on this number. The kinship coefficient between parents and children is about 0.25. For first cousins, it’s about 0.0625, while for fourth cousins, it’s around only 0.001. This means you might share more genes with your best friend than with some distant family members.
The question is – why are people with a high level of kinship coefficient more likely to become friends? The research team found that many of the top one percent of similar genes are related to the sense of smell. This means that close friends may have a similar sense of smell.
A study in Science Advances also showed that people who become close friends usually have similar body smells. Researchers collected sweat samples from 20 pairs of friends. They all became close in a short time. Using an e-nose and human volunteers to study the smells, they
