A) How many mosm solute will 1 gram of NaCl yield? Show your calculations. (1gNaCl/1)*(1000mg/1gNaCl)(2/58mg)=34.5mOsm. 3. Mixed Solutions: If 1 mmole of glucose (180mg=1mOsm) and 1 mmole of NaCl (58mg=2mmOsm) are put into a beaker and distilled water added to make 1 liter, the osmolarity is 3 mOSm/L.
Pollan’s enticing style of the book kept something that could have been extremely boring very engaging. He also took a complex subject and made it easier for readers to understand what he was trying to convey. You can say it is a modern twist to a dietary guideline book of dos and don’ts with a little bit of politics involved. Pollan explains that the government, scientist, and even nutritionist have been distorting, and confusing consumers with the foods that are out in market these days. For example, Pollan talks about margarine, and how scientists “claim” that it is a better, and cheaper substitute for butter, but it contains all these unnecessary ingredients that could be more harmful to the human body.
False advertising is also another unpleasant practice that fast food companies use to lure in costumers. Some of these practices include no warning labels on advertisements like there are on dangerous things like tobacco and confusing labels on food served that lead customers into eating more calories than intended. David Zinczenko advocates that it is some of the fast food companies fault for the decline in America’s general health. At the end, David chooses not to complain about the legalities, but instead encourages us to let the justice system do its work. In the article David Zinczenko discusses “Shouldn't we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants” we the people of America should know by now that it is
The third viewpoint is from the United Kingdom found that the adverse effects of food dyes on symptoms of ADHD were moderated by histamine degradation gene (HNMT). And food additives can trigger histamine release and the HNMT can impair the histamine clearance (389). The author’s purpose in writing of this article was to address the role that food additives and artificial dye in ADHD. There was research done by Dr. Benjamin Feingold in the 1970’s that did not provide enough convincing evidence. More rigorous empirical studies were done over the last twenty years and they were still not conclusive.
Ingesting. As learned in this essay, the flavor industry is very secretive, and they don’t really have to tell us the exact formulas of the flavor compounds being used. As Schlosser explains,” The Federal Food and Drug Administration does not require companies to disclose the ingredients of their color or flavor additives as long as all the chemicals in them are considered by the agency to be GRAS” (532). Might this be a violation of our right to know? We are the ones purchasing the food and ingesting them, therefore; it simply seems unfair.
Many companies selling these products make claims, for example, that creatine monohydrate is poorly absorbed and or poorly metabolized by the body. This is simply untrue: research has found that creatine monohydrate is highly absorbable. Some claim less “bloating” or other supposed effects of monohydrate, but don’t have a drop of data to support the claim, or even a feasible theory as to why their form would not have the effect vs. the monohydrate form. They often claim dramatically improved absorption over monohydrate (without data), fewer side effects (without data), the ability to reduce the number of non-responders to creatine (without data), etc. Are you starting to see a theme here?!
Public health officials requested that the government ban trans-fat and reduce sodium levels, but the government made no attempt at changing or stopping the release of fatty foods. At one point the government had ideas of how to control sodium which would save on health care costs and lengthen lives but decided against it due to financial consequences. The government’s inactivity gave way to the increasing level of health issues and obesity in Canadians. Some Canadians realize that they are unhealthy, but don’t realize the food they eat is the cause. Because of the absence of labels most Canadian’s don’t even know the nutritional value of the food they eat.
Fiber, also known as roughage, contains many properties that aid our digestion tract, and allow us to process waste products more efficiently. According to Nutrition.gov (2013) fiber can be found in many of our favorite foods including whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibers dissolve in water, and when digested, “form viscous solutions in the intestines” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006). “Fibers that cannot be digested by bacteria in the large intestines are called insoluble fibers because they do not dissolve in water.” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006) High fiber diets can produce many benefits, including higher nutrient absorption levels, and better waste output.
ENG. 100-P01 Regular Coke vs. Diet Coke Is Diet Coke taster than Regular Coke or Regular Coke has a very sweet tasty flavor then Diet Coke??? Regular Coke has a very sweet and strong taste; Diet Coke has water, bitter taste with less sugar. It is important to remember that it is one thing about drinking diet soda people genuinely enjoys the taste, but it is another thing is to drink it solely, because some people feel that they will lose weight from drinking it.
Even though many would argue that diet drinks are healthier, the truth is that diet drinks are very harmful to one’s health. Diet drinks have been created in order to offer a drink with fewer sugars. The sugars have been replaced with an artificial sweetener called Aspartame. Aspartame is compiled of aspartic acid, Methanol, and Phenylalanine (Gold 2-5). Each of these acids alone is a dangerous force so one can only imagine what can be accomplished when they combine.
