The Substitute

scientific evidence to SUPPORT toxicological safety for consumer use. I am submitting the following evidence to support my position: Stevia is a sweetener that is extracted from the leaves of a plant called Stevia rebaudiana. This is a natural substitute for sugar that “…clinical studies show that they have no effect on either blood pressure or blood glucose response, indicating stevia sweeteners are safe for use by individuals with diabetes.” (SALEEBY, YUSUF). The response that the people…

food. The use of artificial sweeteners is very diverse. People may substitute table sugar for artificial sweetener because for economic and health reasons. The health benefits of artificial sweeteners include the reduction of calories in food thereby serving as a means of managing obesity and diabetes. Artificial sweeteners also generally will not raise blood sugar levels. This…

become more comfortable as well as resourceful with how I approach the topic in the classroom now and in the future. Working as a substitute teacher, I get the unique opportunity to take what I see out in the classrooms and connect it with what I learn in my courses, as well as I get to take what I learn in my college courses and use it to improve my skills as I substitute teach.…

Within the special education setting, students can sometimes act out, or possibly do something that could harm himself or herself or another student. What do we as teachers do? Many teachers have found methods of restraint and seclusion when the student needs it. Over the years there have been many cases of using restraint and seclusion and having it turn into abuse. By more cases of abuse from restraint and seclusion there have been laws set in place in order to make sure the student, teacher,…

"loaf" of gum is sent through a series of rollers that form it into a thin, wide ribbon. Each pair of rollers is set closer together than the previous pair, gradually reducing the thickness of the gum. A light coating of powdered sugar or sugar substitute is added during this process to keep the gum from sticking from each other and to enhance flavor of the gum. Additionally, the gum is scored and cut into equivalent pieces for a varied gum type like, Extra, 5, Juicy Fruit and Hubba Bubba. In…

I found the videos and readings to be interesting and informative. I have previously taken classes on the importance of cultural understanding, but watching these videos and reading through the materials was a helpful reminder as to just how important it is to take students culture into consideration. I have found that while I do attempt to understand the culture of my students, I have not yet met cultural proficiency. Prior to watching the videos and reading the material I did not think about…

The Boy Who Would be a Helicopter Textbook Analysis Student disabilities come in all shapes and sizes and is unique to each child. This is especially true with students who have social disabilities. Some students may find it hard to interact with students, some might be aggressive or emotional, some may not have personal space, and some may want space. Students with social disabilities often find it more challenging to gain the necessary skills to develop their social/behavioral communication…

As I mentioned in my chapter seven reflection, there are nearly an infinite number of reasons why children may act out during the school day. Some more examples include, the amount of free space in the classroom, the lack of down time, too much stimulation, pent up energy, and incompetence when completing assignments, just to name a few. Believe it or not, but all of these can be prevented with just some extra thought and effort from the teacher. For example, he or she needs to consider what the…

Zero calorie sweeteners are just as bad as sugar, but worse. The establishment of the zerocalorie sweetener was intended to replace real sugar and it’s nonessential calories, but actually created more health risks towards our bodies, than real sugar ever did. Numerous zerocalorie sweeteners are formulated artificial sweeteners that have been synthesized in labs. The scary fact is that many of these sweeteners pose even greater health risks than what seems as a mere sugarinduced weight gain…

My entire life I always self-reflect. I constantly asked myself why am I the way that I am, how did I turn out to be the person I am today, and why do I do the things I do. Like David, my teachers would make comments that I am smart but lazy. It was true. I never did my homework and never studied. I would just listen to the teacher’s lectures and do the classwork. I would pass the exams, but since the grades are calculated with more than just test grades, I would make C’s and D’s. In high school…
