National Pots De Crème Day National Pots De Crème Day in the United States is celebrated on the 27th of August. The day recognizes the delicious French dessert custard by the same name. The dessert delicacy was created in the 17th century in France. The translation of the name pots de crème is pot of crème (cream) or pot of custard. This refers to the fact that the custard is cooked and served inside small porcelain cups. Pot de crème is a loose custard that’s consistency is looser than crème…

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…

In 1957, biochemists Richard Marshall and Earl Kooi developed the chemical process for making high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). HFCS is an alternative sweetener to sucrose originally derived from corn. Through a chemical and enzymatic process, corn is broken down through the molecular levels until the monosaccharide fructose is produced (Parker et al, 2010). The product was adopted by the food and beverage industry in the 1970’s. Due to it’s diversability and cost effectiveness, it was embraced…

The 3 main ingredients are: Gum base Flavorings Sweeteners Gum used to be made of the sap of a tree. Gum contains long molecules what helps make the gum stretchy and good to blow bubbles. Thousand of years ago scientist have discovered human teeth marks in wads of gum. All gum is made of gum base. A gum base is made out of 3 ingredients, these 3 ingredients are Wax, Resin, Elastomer. The wax softens the gum, the Resin is tree sap, and its the part you chew, and the Elastomer is rubber, and…

How the Rock Cycle Works by using Chocolate We did a chocolate lab that represented the rock cycle. We used white and dark chocolate in this lab that was the rocks. Than we made the rock into sedimentary which we squashed it together. Than we wrote down what it looked like and we went to stepping on the chocolate which made metamorphic rock. Than we went to the heat plate and we put the bag of chocolate in the hot water and it turned the chocolate into a warm/liquidy substance that is called…

In a new study published in the Journal of Functional Foods, researchers reveal how exposure to excessive amounts of green tea impaired the reproductive function of fruit flies, as well as the development of their offspring. While it is unclear whether the beverage has the same impact on humans, the team says their findings warrant caution against consuming large amounts of green tea and other nutraceuticals. Green tea is made from fresh leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Because green…

In today’s day and age it is very easy to access foods with magnesium. For example, you can simply walk into Metro and buy green vegetables, whole grain cereals, nuts and beans, and seafood. We have the privilege to go to a pharmacy and simply buy supplement to help us improve our intake of magnesium. Some additional food items that maintain magnesium are mackerel, boiled spinach, bran breakfast cereal and almonds. Foods with the highest magnesium per milligram are cocoa, bran breakfast cereal,…

Although many people believe that Diet Coke and Mentos causes a chemical reaction, scientists believe it is a physical reaction. Carbon dioxide is drawn to the Mentos, and it creates many small bubbles in the soda. All of the bubbles build up and create pressure within the bottle, causing the soda to shoot out. The explanation for this process is called nucleation. This process consists of bubbles forming in any place where there is a high surface area and a very low volume, places called…

Hydnellum peckii goes by many common names. It is commonly known as Strawberries and Cream, the Bleeding Hydnellum, the Red-Juice Tooth, and the Devil’s Tooth. The fungus earns this name from the look of its fruiting body. The newly fruited mushroom body is a cream color with blood red secretions. Tooth-like projections emerge from the underside of the fungi’s cap. These teeth are slender, are less than five millimeters long, and are the structures that produce the spores on the fruiting body.…
