This allows your body to pass starch through without turning it into glucose. Without starch, fat cannot be stored in the form of carbohydrates and less weight will be gained. This may sound too good to be true. Though carb-cutter does actually block amylase, there are many other factors that go into the breakdown of the carbohydrates. Students at the University of Georgia have taken it upon them to test this rumor and see if carb-cutter really stops the breakdown of starch to helps weight loss.
Vitamin losses can occur through chemical reactions which lead to inactive products. With regards to food chemistry, the main concern is to maximize vitamin retention by minimizing aqueous extraction (leaching) and chemical changes such as oxidation and reaction with other food constituents for a small vitamin deficiency can already cause diseases in humans (Fennema, 1996). Vitamins are mainly classified into two based on solubility: the fat soluble vitamins and the water soluble vitamins. Fat soluble vitamins are composed of Vitamins A, D, E and K while
Vitamin B helps the release of energy from other food and is good for the nervous system. Vitamin C (is fragile and easily destroyed by cooking)this is needed for forming bones, teeth, blood vessels and skin. Vitamin D helps maintain bones and teeth and helps to prevent blood clots. Vitamin E has links to fertility and offers protection from cancer and heart disease. Vitamin K helps prevent blood clots.
Changes in pH break the delicate bonds that maintain an enzyme's shape. An enzyme will unravel, or denature, and become useless in a different pH. The FDA should not approve this enzyme to be safe for people. I say this because for the FDA to approve it, Lactex must be able to survive a wide range of pH and temperatures that it will be exposed to within the digestive tract. The path a drug travels from a lab to your medicine
Vitamin-C is unable to be stored (due to its water solubility) or synthesized by the human body and therefore must be acquired from dietary sources; primarily citrus fruits and vegetables. Vitamin-C is a mild-reducing agent, a beneficial chemical property allowing it to play the important role of an antioxidant (additional information on Vitamin-C’s role as an antioxidant in the body is provided in Appendix ___)in the human body. Redox or oxidation-reduction reactions generally involve the transfer of electrons between two chemical species. Within an oxidation-reduction reaction, the compound that loses an electron is said to be reduced while reversibly the compound that gains this electron is said to be oxidised. A reducing agent is therefore known as the chemical species in
“Diabetes can be tackled in different ways- by insulin and diet” (Rudy, 1999, page 19) Diet, when someone had diabetes it is best for their health to cut right down on the unhealthy foods, and stick to the health foods, this is due to the effectiveness of the medication you are on. If you eat junk food and do not eat healthy then your medication will not be as effective as it could be. Sticking to regular mealtimes is also another thing that could help you feel better as it will keep your “blood glucose levels under control”. (Rudy, 1999, page 20) There are 2 types of carbohydrates, 1 that is good for controlling diabetes and 1 that is really bad, these are starchy and sugary. Sugary- this is the 1 that people with diabetes should stay clear of, this is due to the “glucose getting into your bloodstream fast, this could cause a sudden rise in blood glucose levels”.
Experiment-Specific Questions Experiment 1: Monosaccharide Test Fill in the table below with the results from the monosaccharide test experiment, and your conclusions based on those results. Results Monosaccharide Test Solution Initial Color Color with Benedict's Solution Color After Heating Monosaccharide? glucose solution clear blue orange yes water clear blue blue no sucrose solution clear blue blue no fructose solution clear blue orange yes Benedict’s solution is added to white grape juice and heated. The color changes from blue to orange. Based on this result, what biological molecules are present in the white grape juice?

Since vinegar is an acid, you know that vinegar was not in the solution and it must be something else. You decided to investigate if the new wave of Vitamin Water is pH neutral: neither too acidic nor too basic. Using BTB (bromothymol blue), you select five flavors of Vitamin Water to rest. Three of the flavor-samples turn a murky green, indicating the likelihood of acid/base balance. Of the two remaining, one turns slightly yellow, while the other remains blue.
Therefore, it is important to work on healing the digestive organs in order to heal deficiencies in the system. We do this by avoiding the foods that aggravate digestion which include: fried food, hydrogenated oils, pork, cow dairy products, city water, artificial ingredients including colors, preservatives and sweeteners, dark colored sodas, oranges and orange juice as well as caffeine and chocolate.
