One of the fiercest battles between brands through the years is the battle between Coke and Pepsi. How effectively these brands market their products determine their market share. We learned in our lesson that a brands marketing strategy is comprised several components called a marketing mix. The marketing mix is composed of four areas; product, price, placement and promotion. Through many years of success and failure these brands are ripe with illustrations of marketing successes and…

发自我的iPad Key concepts Chemistry Physics Materials science Carbonation Physical reactions Explosions Introduction Have you ever seen the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment that is all over the Internet and wondered what makes the reaction work? You might think that there is some ingredient in a Mentos candy that causes a chemical reaction with the soda pop, like the way baking soda reacts with vinegar. But the amazing eruption that takes place when Mentos are dropped into Diet Coke or other…

While watching this movie, I was shocked to learn about sugar and how it metabolizes. I knew before watching the film that sugar was bad for, but I did not exactly know why. The man in the film made an interesting comparison between a 20oz Coke and almonds. Each item both had 160 calories, but they digested completely different. Almonds metabolize slower because of the fiber they contain. Coke on the other hand, metabolizes much faster in the liver and your body gets a sugar high. When your…

Basmati rice is long grained aromatic rice which is traditionally grown and cultivated in India and Pakistan. The aroma of basmati rice is typical and is due to the aroma compound 2-acetyl-1 pyrroline. Basmati rice contains about 0.99 ppm of this aromatic chemical compound naturally which is about 12 times more than the content of this compound in other non - basmati varieties of rice. There are several varieties of basmati rice that are produced in India as well as Pakistan. Cooking basmati…

Danica Schlome Grade 12W Life Orientation CAT Part A Activity 2: Visual Diary "Banting for Babies": Professor Tim Noakes Trial 1 "Banting for Babies" - Professor Tim Noakes Trial Banting is a high fat, low carbohydrate (LCHF) diet (Ketogenic Diet) that is named after William Banting.

The aim of the diet is to break people's addictions to sugar, which they obtain from the…

I strongly believe that chocolate milk shouldn’t be served in schools. I believe this because there is too much sugar. Also, chocolate milk can lead to long and short term health problems. Jamie Oliver says that chocolate milk is liquid candy. Schools should be banned from serving chocolate milk. Ann Cooper, the head of nutrition services for the Boulder Valley School District in Louisville, Colorado says,“Chocolate milk is soda dressed up.” This is true because of the sugar content. In the…

While two differing food items obviously don’t have to be similar, two foods that you can associate as being similar can actually have a lot of differences often because of three reasons. The reasons are size and type of serving suggestions differ, the nutrition facts greatly vary, and one is made from organic ingredients while another is not. The two food items I have decided to compare are Bob’s Red Mill Organic Brown Rice Farina and Nabisco/Mondeléz International’s Breakfast Belvita packs.…

be broken down into glucose and fructose to produce energy. • Glucose is broken down into a pathway called “glycolysis” which produces pyruvate. Pyruvate then goes into the Citric Acid Cycle and produces ATP which is the energy needed in our bodies. • The first 2 steps of fructose breakdown is unique to fructose. • When Fructose is broken down, the enzyme fructokinase converts fructose to fructose-1-phosphate. An enzyme called Aldolase-B converts fructose-1-phosphate into…

Dr. Lustig’s talk about how fructose is basically a poison was something that I never heard before. I have heard that we should limit our sugar intake, but I did not know that fructose was so bad for you. Dr. Lustig believes that sugar is a poison based on observations of current obesity trends, especially in children, and based on the pathways of the chemical breakdowns of different types of sugar. He shows the different pathways that glucose, ethanol and fructose are broken down and the…
