However, since the article by Dr. Bray was posted, the scientific community sought to find the truth as to whether high fructose corn syrup could really be responsible for this dramatic spike in obesity. Dr. John White is a leading opponent of Brady's hypothesis linking HFCS with obesity. Since the HFCS-obesity hypothesis was introduced by Dr. Bray in 2004, as White (2008) put it: ... it quickly took on a life of its own. This once mundane ingredient [high fructose corn syrup] became vilified in scientific circles and then in the public arena when the hypothesis was translated as fact through leading nutrition journals, weekly and specialty magazines, national and local newspapers, and an endless number of television news programs.…

What if you walked into an old abandoned house, and met an interesting old man? In the story, ¨Treasure of Lemon Brown¨ by Walter Dean Myers, he uses dialogue and figurative language to develop characters and character relationships. In the text it states, ¨look into the moon and see anything you want.¨ This dialogue shows that Lemon brown is trying to tell Greg what his boy looked like. I think he is trying to tell that his son was hopeful, young, naive but by doing this he used a hyperbole.…
Since my last post, I have been thinking about alternate food desert perspectives. In the PBS article I found, Sarah Corapi lists the factors of ingrained eating and shopping habits throughout America. The article suggests these habits could explain the reason the national initiative to fight food deserts appears to be making little difference. Corapi summarizes the findings of a small scale study by Steven Cummins about why the accessibility of healthy food is not always a factor in shopping for it. Corapi states the study “suggests that merely adding a new grocery store to a neighborhood won’t be enough to motivate individuals to shop there for healthier foods.”…
It is very important for a correct selection of tissue salts as it is essential if full benefit is to be derived. It is also important because one should not deprive their body from vital tissue salts as they could lead to a deficiency and then lead to a disease. This is why tissue salts are so important as healing occurs due to correct tissue salts and these tissue salts are provided to the body to correct the imbalance within the body. Also a supplementation of tissue salts can also be considered to be essential as supplements help if a person body’s lacks in tissue…

Introduction Debates concerning the health effects of artificial sweeteners are relevant not only for scientists and dieticians, but also for diabetics and individuals who are trying to lose weight.

In experiment 2.1, absorbance readings for both heated and unheated corn and tapioca starch were taken. For both starch’s the heated results came to be much higher then the un-heated as seen in Table 2.1. Iodine reacts with the amylose compound in starch where it gets trapped in the amylose coils and blue-ish colour is formed after the addition of Lugols reagent (Fennema and others 2008). The absorbance readings came out higher for heated corn starch because iodine had more amylose to react with. As corn-starch is heated gelatinization occurs where amylose is released since the starch granule is disrupted.…
