Oreos, Coca Cola, Campbell's tomato soup, Honey Nut Cheerios, Hershey's chocolate syrup. What do all of these things have in common besides being something edible? Today I would like to inform you about artificial and natural flavorings. Although they may seem different, one healthier than other; they are truly the same thing. I firmly believe awareness of artificial and natural flavorings in food is a good idea as the FDA, or Food and Drug Administration, does not require that all flavors in food

Azodicarbonamide is a chemical substance included in foods such as bread because of its whitening and dough conditioning effects. It has proteins that can bond flour and speeds the fermentation process. Azodicarbonamide is also an oxidizing agent that can create tiny bubbles for a “foamy” result but is unnecessary for bread-making. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clarified the substance to be safe, its material may be dangerously effecting people without their knowledge. To be on

Background: In my experiment, I am trying to see how different solutions varying in pH levels will affect the shape and weight of gummy bears. The main ingredient in most gummy bears is gelatin. Gelatin is a collagen. It is derived from animals such as pig skin, cow skin or bones. In the United States, gummy bears are made of gelatin. In other parts of the world where eating pork is not accepted, gummy bears are made with a substitute of gelatin. Some ingredients used to make gummy bears include

Spencer Marron#15 Science February 1, 2018 Miracle fruit There is a plant called Synsepalum dulcificum and the berry that grows on it has the ability to turn acidic food into a sweetness that is unlike anything else. The berry contains a molecule called glycoprotein, and a carbohydrate chain called miraculin. When the berry is consumed, the fleshy part reacts with your taste buds. The miraculin in the berry blinds and blocks the receptors and your taste buds in your mouth.Miraculin is like a substitute

In the introduction of the journal article “Hyperactive Ingredients?,” Julia Barrett addresses the question of whether food additives influence hyperactivity. She explains that this question has been a constant debate over the past three decades. Barretts objective of her journal article was to highlight how research studies, such as the Lancet study, currently suggest that there is in fact a link between the two. In the Lancet study, Jim Stevenson, along with other researchers, further investigated

things we should not be eating. “Eating things like pink slime, bleached flour, beaver anal glands, silicone filler for breast implants, rodent hair, and lac bugs, are food processing techniques that enter chemicals into our food.” “Pink slime is an additive or a filler that’s added to ground beef to make it leaner and less expensive”. The filler pumps up the meat. It’s also a term used to describe ground beef that is used in a most disgusting manner. Pink slime is one of those inconvenient little details

In today’s culture, people judge food by its convenience and taste. Processed and fast foods are quick, easy, and taste fairly good. Children, especially, enjoy fast food and packaged snacks. While this may seem a good solution to this fast-paced society, it is actually a dangerous habit. Fifteen percent of children ages six to nineteen are overweight, and the number is growing (Back to School). Even if a child is not obese, he often does not eat healthy and faces the danger of becoming overweight

parts for jet engines. In fact, Boeing uses 22 thousand different 3-D printed parts across the broad range of their military aircraft. (Christopher Winnan) Healthcare is right behind in the race to implement additive manufacturing into medical practices. A recent ASME presentation on additive manufacturing exhibited images of stents

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an exciting feat of modern human innovation emerging at the dawn of a new industrial uprising, however as we all know, with all beneficial revolutions come vindictive consequence. 3D printable firearms are a stain in a revolution that could potentially change the world as we know it. These weapons are a reality and they are under much scrutiny in the engineering and technological world with major implications on public safety and loopholes in federal regulations

have flocked to the idea of 3-D printing. First, it is important to know exactly what 3-D printing really is. 3-D printing has many names, but is mainly referred to as additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping. An Article defines 3-D printing as “A process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file… in an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the
