The year is 1878 in Baltimore, Maryland. Constantin Fahlberg had come home from his job as a chemist and was about to have a delicious meal. He had spilled something on his hand while working in his lab earlier but that didn’t concern him. Instead he grabbed a roll off of the dinner table, plopped it into his mouth, and sat down to eat. To his amazement the roll tasted amazingly sweet, too sweet to just have been a roll his wife made. Realizing it was from the substance he spilled on his hand, he dashed to the lab he worked at and tasted everything at his worktable, especially tasting the vials, beakers, and dishes he used for his experiments. Finally he found the source of the sweetness: an overboiled beaker in which o-sulfobenzoic acid had reacted with phosphorus (V) chloride and ammonia, producing benzoic sulfimide or as what most people know as the synthetic sugar called saccharin (Hicks, Jesse).

This product was the first artificial sweetener to be publicly sold and through its distribution there became monstrous effects on the old customs of sweetening. Before Sweet N’ Low was invented, people primarily used sugar and molasses as sweeteners, but other ingredients such as honey, maple syrup, and brown rice syrup were still in high use. These substitutes for sugar were great for its time but Sweet N’ Low was able to satisfy the modern era through its many advantages that these products did not have. Sugar cane was difficult due to the agricultural restrictions, since it required a warm, rainy climate to be able to grow (The Pros and Cons of Biofuels). Maple syrup and honey were inefficient since they could only be retrieved during certain times of the year and then once retrieved it took a lengthy period of preparation before it could be sold (Foreman, Diana). With the advantages Sweet N’ Low had, companies, stores, and businesses quickly began to get involved with the idea of artificial
What’s my natural high, you ask? My natural high is music. I chose music as a big part of my life. I chose that because I am so pattinite for it. I love music and it has been a big part of my life. My brother and I grew up in music.
“Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.” –Hippocrates, 460-377 BC. If a Greek physician could make this statement over 2300 years ago, why is it such an under-exposed theory today? As stated in Chiropractic First, written by Dr. Rondberg, a chiropractor of 35 years and founder of the “Chiropractic Journal,” Hippocrates “believed that only nature could heal and it was the physician’s duty to remove any obstruction that would prevent the body from healing” (8-9). These “physicians” are called chiropractors today, and their goal is to remove subluxations, the displacement of two or more spinal disks that causes
On May 2, 2012, the National Football League lost one of its elite players to suicide: Junior Seau. Seau played for the Chargers, Dolphins, and the Patriots during his professional football career and was a 12-time Pro Bowler before retiring in 2009. Three years after his retirement however, Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a gun. This greatly shocked the football world and its image of Junior Seau as a person, but it soon realized the cause for his action. Shortly after Seau’s death, researchers examined Seau’s brain and found that it contained a disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is formed
Yaez Mon was a small island that had little to no contact with the European states until the 1400’s. Although it was close enough to see from Europe, nobody really payed attention to it until the continent began colonizing the “new” world. Yaez Mon was colonized by Great Britain under the rule of Henry VIII, in 1515. The people of Yaez Mon (Monians) did not take lightly to this invasion after a few years of oppression took to the streets and rioted in what is now known as “The Ten Year Rebellion.” This revolutionary period led to Britain retreating and a constitutional republic formed led by rebellion kickstarter, George Smithe.
The use of artificial sweeteners in beverages and food has been on a steady rise since 1969, the year it was authorized in the United States of America. The popularity of artificial sweeteners has been on a rise because of the benefit that it is a zero calorie sweetener .Even though artificial sweeteners have some great benefits many scientists believe that it causes adverse effects such as cancer, weight gain and depression. I strongly believe that consumers are not aware of the side effects of artificial sweeteners hence the increase in consumption since 1969.
Hey Guys, I am in the fifth grade and I like P.E because we play all of fun games and my favorite part about P.E is probably Basketball because we do hoops for heart and we also do knock out and other cool stuff. Also in basketball at P.E we also practicing dribbling to test how fast our hands move and we do a drill where you pick a partner and you guys just pass to each other for the hand eye coronation. Also when we do a game where you have a couple people on your team and you guys have to make as many baskets to beat the other teams and there are 3 pointers which if you shoot those and make it then you get 3 points for your team and then there are two ways to get a 2 pointer which are, if you shoot it below the 3 points line then
Sugar in its many forms is as old as the Earth itself. It is a sweet tasting thing for which humans have a natural desire. However there is more to sugar than its sweet taste, rather cane sugar has been shown historically to have generated a complex process of cultural change altering the lives of all those it has touched, both the people who grew the commodity and those for whom it was grown. Suprisingly, for something so desireable knowledge of sugar cane spread vey slow. First

HFCS is such a cheap sweetener and preservative that many manufactures like to use this sweetener to make more profit. For three decades, HFCS
Constant improvements in technology allow products to be produced more cheaply and quickly, which now make it possible to produce profitable products containing 47% fructose (Inglett, 93). High fructose corn syrup has numerous advantages that make it so much more economically competitive. Firstly, high fructose corn syrup, on a dry substance basis, has the same
I enjoy helping out around the server and it's very chill moderating on the server. I enjoyed interacting with other players on the server and I want to have that experience again. I also want to be on to moderate 3.0 because the big release has got me super hyped up. Pretty much helping out around the team makes me feel amazing. I want to help with all the cheaters, and most importantly I want to make sure all the toxicity is to a minimum and I will try my best to stop the toxicity. I am pretty lenient when it comes to being staff and I try my best to dedicate as much time as I possibly can. I love helping out whether it is online, or in real life. I am always a happy and cheerful guy when it comes to helping out, and I am always around
How are you? I hope that you are doing well. I can't believe we are in another term already. I can relate to you because I love to stick in my comfort zone as well. It is so much easier to do things that you already know how to do rather than learning new. I feel that when writing a paper if I am given a topic that I already know a lot about then it is much easier for me. When having to research something and then write about it is so much harder for me because I am always thinking is this what I am asked to do. I am always caught second guessing myself when it comes to something new. I am going to have to learn how to open up my horizons a little and learn new things when it comes to my writing. I have no problem with learning
“Squawk!” Woah! Was that an Ae’o? The Ae’o is an endangered bird that can also be called the Hawaiian Stilt. The Ae’o needs our help to increase it’s population. It’s such an amazing animal and it would be a shame to see it go extinct. So, I will be talk about it’s habitats, needs, threats, adaptations and how to help conserve the Ae’o.
While society is still developing and susceptible to change, it is important to analyze the effects of artificial sweetener use on the human body and
Controversies, Infobase Learning, 26 July 2010, http://icof.infobaselearning.com/recordurl.aspx?ID=2311. Accessed 20 Feb. 2017. This source was written in order to discuss the benefits and harms of using artificial sweeteners in place of sugar. This article was published in the Issues and Controversies database; therefore it has been used in academic writing previously. We can conclude that the source is unbiased and credible. It compared the high health risks of sugar to the very low health risks of artificial sweeteners. Also extensively covered, is the history and development of artificial sweeteners, and the opposing opinions on both. This source is lengthier than many similar ones, and contains more factual information and research-backed claims. Of all the sources, this one supports the thesis the most by providing
