WHAT IS IT? Magnesium is a naturally occurring mineral found in almost every living organism. Our body contains a lot of minerals, but magnesium is the fourth most abundant in our bones. The other half is found inside the cells of our soft tissues and organs.

Sausage, ham, deli meats although have sodium nitrates are high in fat in what makes it unhealthy.

Since only 7% of the sodium nitrites we consume come from added sodium nitrate sources our consumption from non-natural source are very small. “The
The calculations showed that on average Cheetos contain 1.7 kcal/g (figure 1) which is more calories than Rice Cakes which contain around 1.4 kcal/g, and Marshmallows which we found to contain 0.9 kcal/g. Alcohol, with just 0.8 kcal/g, has the least amount of calories. From looking at the nutrition facts of cheetos, rice cakes, and marshmallow I calculated the amount of calories per gram each of the foods had. I did this because it is more precise than just using the general nutrition facts since
leaves, juice, sugar cane syrup, and oil. (Colin, 2014)” Haitians tend to have high blood pressure and diabetes due to the high salt and sugars in their diet.

Macromolecules- The Chemistry of Life Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to test for macromolecules consisting of starch (carbohydrates), lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Testing for the macromolecules occurred by using specific reagents on each macromolecule. If a color change occurred, then the sample would prove to be positive for that macromolecule. For simple sugars, the Benedicts solutions was used as the reagent; for starches, the iodine solution was used as the reagent; for lipids
