Maize in the Columbian Exchange During the period of 1450- 1750, there was an exchange of diseases, ideas, and food called the Columbian Exchange.

Corn contributed to both the old and new world economies by taking part in the slave trade. Corn also became an important part of the diets of the people of the regions it spread to.
Chemistry in beer by Trent O'Driscoll In this essay I will be exploring chemistry and its place in the production of beer. To do this, I will look at a brief history of beer, what it is used for and the process behind making it. Beer is one of the oldest beverages made by man, it dates back to the ancient Egyptians and ancient Mesopotamia. In ancient Mesopotamia the beer Brewers were mainly women, they were fairly well respected. "Beer was made from bippar, (twice-baked barley bread)"(http://www.ancient.eu/article/223/) Beer is used for a wide range of activities, these including drinking it, serving it in bars for people to drink, buying it from the bottle shop to drink, to put in cups for beer pong so it can be played and later drunk and finally to put with fish to batter it, creating beer-battered fish.

High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) was introduced back in the 1970’s and quickly filled the demand within the soft drink industry. Sodas depended heavily on the sugar cane as a natural sweetener; unfortunately it was unstable and volatile. HFCS provided consistency and was easily accessible when it was introduced and financially made more sense when compared to the unsteady cost of sugar. Before you knew it, HFCS found its way into foods and was no longer just for the soft drink industry. Today, HFCS can be found in just about every food product that you can think of.
Heineken Beer Marketing Research Spring 2012 Group 1 [pic] Abstract In our research, we chose criteria based on our literature which is important to consumers, including: Packaging/design, taste, image of brand, price, calories, lifestyle of consumer, and social/economic factors. As a group, we researched these criteria, making connections with our points and the empirical evidence that was found. There are many factors and alter the consumers' perceptions of different beers and different brands, and often times each individual consumer's criteria is not weighted the same way as the next person. One thing is for certain though; Americans love to drink beer. Because of this phenomenon, Heineken wishes to reposition their flagship brand as a younger, trendier beer and capture more of the 21 to 30 year old beer-consuming market.
In an age of obesity and sedentary lifestyles, individuals quickly accept easy ways to promote better health. Over the last several decades, many fad diets have come and gone, and hundreds of diet pills have been on and off the shelves. For years, a popular measure taken to help trim the waistline has been the consumption of artificial sweeteners. Replacing sugar in everything from soda to pudding mix, sugar substitutes are widely used to provide sweetness without providing calories. While artificial sweeteners tempt the public with sugar-free sweetness, their use poses confirmed risks for serious health problems.
It is known universally, that the English enjoy their alcoholic beverages and that they have established a strong drinking culture that is socially accepted and part of their national identity. Taverns, pubs and alehouses are a fundamental part of English culture and foster a long-lasting tradition. Over time, the nature of drinking in England has become somewhat of a stereotype; this paper would look at the function of ale and the alehouse, which inevitably led to the way we associate English drinking today. In his article, Cedric C. Brown discusses drinking around the festive season and makes special reference to “the greatest concentration of festive occasions” the midwinter festive season, which allows for liberal distribution of holiday drinks such as Burgundian wine, wassail and strong ale . The main argument he makes seems to be that celebrating special moments of communal ritual festivity in society should be sealed by drink.
