consumption. British Journal of Nutrition. 2001;1 S23±S30. According to a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, consumption of liquid erythritol by healthy volunteers, even in high doses (20 to 35 grams), was well tolerated and did not appear to cause any negative gastrointestinal symptoms. Storey, D, Lee, A, Bornet, F, Brouns, F. Gastrointestinal tolerance of erythritol and xylitol ingested in a liquid. European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 2007;61(3):349. The Drawbacks of Other Sugar Alcohols When it comes to natural sugar substitutes, erythritol is the ideal. Other sugar alcohols just don’t measure up. Let’s take a closer look: • Sorbitol - Most people are intolerant and experience bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Jain NK, Rosenberg DB, Ulahannan MJ, Glasser MJ, Pitchumoni CS. Sorbitol intolerance in adults. Am J Gastroenterol. 1985;80(9):678-81. • Mannitol – This sugar alcohol may cause an allergic reaction and has a laxative effect. • Maltitol – Maltitol causes gas and bloating. It is also very high on the glycemic index and spikes your blood sugar just as much as sugar! • Xylitol – Xylitol still contains calories, and it is not ideal for baking due to its “minty” taste. Moreover, it is toxic to dogs and cats. Wait. What About the Fruit Flies? You may have heard somewhere that erythritol was shown to kill fruit flies. It’s very important to note that in the exact same study where the fruit flies were reported to have died during…

Chewing is normal and healthy activity of dogs; it's part of their natural behavior. This behavior though becomes destructive and annoying which is completely unnecessary because there are ways to stop them from chewing. Owners must understand that their dogs may be chewing to sooth their sore teething gums, trying to relieve tension and anxiety, are bored, and they may be having dental problems. Here are the top 5 ways to stop your dog from chewing: #1. Dog-proof (chew-proof) your house. This…

Each memory is used to make up one whole experience or event that your brain can classify or identify. Memories are distributed throughout the brain and aren’t stored in one particular spot or location. With memories being scattered throughout the brain, sorbitol in chewing gum wakes up the brain as a whole, which causes memories to become more obvious when on a sugar high(Abel “Does Chewing Gum Affect," n.d.). Cognitive information is then more easily remembered due to it being strictly…

bring selected carbohydrates to their cells. In this experiment we tested the effect of different carbohydrate substances on yeast fermentation. We researched how efficient yeast used certain carbohydrates and the rate of between various carbohydrates. Method I done a lab testing to see the effect on water, sucrose, fructose, lactose, sorbitol and glucose on yeast fermentation. This was carried out by adding 3g of dried yeast to 100ml of liquid carbon source whilst mixing thoroughly. I made…

Studies have proven that chewing gum helps one concentrate; however, which flavor of gum can help someone concentrate the most? Chewing gum contains an immense amount of sugar. Increased amounts of sugar intake in a short period of time can increase the amount of glucose traveling to the brain (Onyper, Carr, Farrar, & Floyd, 2011, p. 326). The heightened amount of glucose creates more energy, which helps a consumer to stay alert and focused. The effects of the ingredients of gum, the effects of…

that produces a strong scented aromatic oil. Whereas Spearmint grows more upright and does not produce an oil and has a different flavor. The website "http://bonnieplants.com/growing/growing-mint/" states that mint is a fast growing plant that spreads. You must give it space or grow it in a pot. The plants like frost free climates and damp areas. They are vulnerable to many bugs when the plants are young. “Ice Breaker Frost” sugar free mints from the Hershey company are the only mints with an…

Write a short summary with conclusions about the trypan blue and SDH results. Do the class results agree with the expected effects of the various treatments? Trypan blue exclusion is a method in which the blue dye is a crucial tool used to stain the nucleus of a cell that is non-viable or damaged. This shows early stages of toxicity whereas, the SDH leakage indicates a later onset of toxicity. The SDH leakage method requires the cell to have larger holes in the membrane to allow the sorbitol…

until they have an affected baby with another carrier (biochemistry basis). The frequency of HFI is 1/30000 to 1/20000, and the affected population mainly concentrates in Europe (biochemistry basis). This paper discusses about the genetical cause and biochemistry consequences of HFI as well as current research on HFI diagnosis method. Fructose exists as either a monosaccharide in fruits or vegetables or half of the components in the disaccharide sucrose. In addition to dietary fructose, sorbitol…

will prevent the body from burning the fat when it is excessively consumed. If this happens, the blood sugar level will go high. It may not instantly increase the blood sugar levels but it is a warning that should not be ignored. 2. An apple still has calories and contains high content of fructose – a natural sugar present to all fruits. Too much fructose is too much. Too much sugar can damage the skin. Consuming more than three apples a day can lead to weight gain, and several serious health…

up of water and protein, primarily collagen. The protein helps to the lens clear and allows light to pass through the lens. However, typically with age the protein within the eye will start clustering together and cloud the eyes. With time, the cataracts make grow and cloud the lens even more. Certain habits like, smoking and health conditions like, diabetes can cause cataracts as well. The len’s gets its nutrients like oxygen and glucose from the aqueous humor. However, when glucose level are…
