Iced Tea Experiment

In the article from USA Today “Eating too much added sugar may be killing you,” Nanci Hellmich reports that people who consume too much added sugar are at higher risk of death from heart disease than normal people. Hellmich says that too much added sugar affects your body in negative ways and leads to heart disease and death. She supports her claim by stating how many calories from added sugar the American Heart Association recommends getting from added sugars each day, then reveals how many calories from added sugar one regular soda contains, then shows many different statistics about people consuming lots of added sugar having higher-than-normal death rates from heart disease. Hellmich writes in a tone that shows she’s interested about the topic for the general public and the readers of USA Today. Her language shows this when she says “Sugar not only makes you fat, it may be killing you” or “That’s far more than the American Heart Association’s recommendation…” In order to inform the readers about the dangers of added sugar, Hellmich shows statistics about people that eat added sugar and how their

Did you know that Americans spent $76 billion dollars on soda or energy drinks in 2013? Teens today consume too much sugar from sugary drinks. The youth today are more unhealthy than previous generations and need to reduce their sugar. The article,”Soda Showdown”, written by Rebecca Zissou, presents two perspectives about taxing sugary drinks.

However, an additional equation, that relates initial concentration and volume with final concentration and volume, is needed for the calculation of Kool-Aid ™ Tropical Punch and Kool-Aid ™ Strawberry. These two solutions were too concentrated, as discovered when the absorbance rate of the solutions was too high compared to the absorbance of the standard solution. The 2-fold serial dilution was done twice on each of these samples. 5 mL of each sample was measured and added into a volumetric flask. Then, 5 mL of deionized water was added to halved the concentration. Then, 5 mL of the halved concentrated solution was measured and added into another volumetric flask. 5 mL of deionized water was added to produce a solution that was a fourth of

Soda can hurt you in many different ways. As it states in the 2 articles about sugary drinks. The 2 author names are Russ Floyd and Evan Cook. Russ Floyd kinda has a point in his article since they do affect you. But Evan Cook has a point to since it is your body. Plus, you can make your own decisions.

The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer.

I would like to thank the people who were involved in my project would be my mom and dad who are helping me by buying the materials i need for my project. They also helped me by testing it at home.

Purpose: To ascertain the decomposition reaction of baking soda using stoichiometry. The purpose is also to find the correct equation for the reaction.

Snap! My can pops as I prepare myself for a glorious taste of bubbly sugar in a can. I had already drunk six cans of coke that day; with no clue my cholesterol was already 23 grams higher than the average 18 year old female. Sugar, as alcohol and tobacco, warrants some form of societal intervention argue Robert H. Lustig, Laura Schmidt and Claire Brindis, scientists in the Public Health Department at the University of California, in their article, The Toxic Truth about Sugar. These researchers are in belief that these sinful grains are the cause to the heightened obesity weight throughout the globe. However, the fact that sugar is now the “culprit” is yet another reason people choose not to blame themselves for their lack of inactivity and

The procedure, from the addition of NaOH to the noting of number of drops, was repeated for the other three beakers. The number of drops for the beaker labelled “tap water” was subtracted from the number of drops for the beaker labelled “tap water with Elodea” and

The second step that you will need to do is to fill the boiled water up in an unblemished glass cup that reaches the exact amount of sixteen ounces. The third step that you will need to do is to get the recording of the water’s temperature. The fourth step you will need to do is to place two tablets of Alka-Seltzer in the water. The fifth and final step that you will need to do is to get either a stopwatch or a timer and calculate the specific amount of time it will take for these tablets of Alka-Seltzer to completely

The press is known to explode with news everyday, informing the people on different topics that are happening worldwide. The newest revelation is on the soda ban in New York. Websites and pages are plastered with information and headlines announcing how “Mayor Bloomberg is overreaching with N.Y.C. large soda ban” or “Banning the Big Gulp Ban”. Reporters are scrambling to join the bandwagon of criticizing or praising this mayor’s audacious decision. There are many factors that influence opinions on the matter, but one of the most popular reasons is because of the high numbers of people that are obese and overweight.

Reasonably sugar is constantly viewed as unnecessary harmful for consumers of all ages. In relations to this wonted view, people often remove sugar from their daily diets. However, the article “sugar controversy” describes the possible risk factors concerning sugar consumption. The article clarified essential utilization concerning sugar along with alternatives. Noticeably this article underlines the harmful effects of consuming excessive amounts of sugar.

Sugary drinks are a major contributor to the obesity epidemic. The term “soft drink” refers to any beverage with added sugar or other sweetener, and includes soda, fruit punch, lemonade and other sweetened powdered drinks, and sports and energy drinks. People who drink sugary beverages do not feel as full as if they had eaten the same calories from solid food, and studies show that people consuming sugary beverages don’t compensate for their high caloric content by eating less food.

The results of the phenol-sulfuric acid analysis conducted in this experiment suggest that the data acquired was relatively precise but inaccurate with respect to the given carbohydrate concentrations of the soda and Gatorade samples. Using a standard curve generated from a glucose solution with a known concentration, the carbohydrate concentration of the samples was determined (in terms of glucose) and a low coefficient of variation was calculated. However, a high percent relative error was apparent in the analysis of both samples. This may have been due to the fact that the analysis was conducted assuming glucose was the carbohydrate of interest, while, in fact, a significant portion of the monosaccharides would have existed as fructose (a
