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.…

Most cereals geared toward children sell energy, excitement, adventure, and the potential for fun…” (Luntz 356). The vivid example of children’s cereal allows me to agree with his point that marketing provides different experiences with cereals. That is just one of the many ways Luntz uses logos to explain and confirm his ideas. The first main idea Luntz presented was that, “The company persona is the sum of the corporate leadership, the corporate ethos,the products and services offered, interactions with the consumers, and, most importantly, the language that ties it all together” (Luntz 354).…
Have you ever been befuddled to the point where you feel trapped and not able to move on with your life? In the short story, “Star Food,” by Ethan Canin, a boy named Dade lets an old woman steal from the family business and catches her, but only to let her go in the end.

Even though Dade is a hard worker and a strong believer, he is alone in the process of figuring out his life, which confuses him about what he is capable of doing. Dade constantly changes his mind in “Star Food,” unable to decide what to do with his life.…

Healing and Beauty Benefits of Cocoa Butter Cocoa butter is the natural fat extracted from cocoa beans. The process involves fine-grinding the cacao nibs (the seeds inside the cacao pods) which causes friction and melts into liquid known as the chocolate liquor. The more grinding, the smoother the chocolate liquor becomes. Cocoa oil is extracted by pressing and straining the liquor. What remains after pressing and straining is the solid mass of chocolate called the cocoa presscake which is broken down in small pieces and pulverized to powder form.…
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.…
