Writing Task 1
The line graph above is telling us how sweet foods can cause tooth decay. Tooth decay is caused by the high level acidity which is below 5.5 ph level in our mouth which is produced by those sweet foods. The graph shows us the relationship between the ph level of acidity and the time elapsed after eating sweet foods. At this graph, there are 3 tested sweet foods: fruit sugar, cane sugar and honey. These sweet foods could cause different acid levels in mouth when they are consumed.
In the first 5 minutes when somebody consumes honey, the acidity level will increase approximately 2 levels of ph, while when the other consumes fruit, it will dropped around 3 levels of ph, and even 3.5 level of ph when eating cane sugar. For honey consumption, the next 5 minutes the ph level will remain constant at ph level of 4.75. At 15 following minutes, the ph level will increased gradually and will be stabilized at ph level of 7 in the next minutes. Whereas, if someone eats fruit sugar, it will need about 30 minutes for the ph level to rise slowly and level off at ph level of 7, yet cane sugar needs around 35 minutes to get ph level of 7.
To sum up, the most destructive effect to the teeth comes from cane sugar which takes the ph level below 5.5 at approximately 32 minutes. At the next minutes the ph level is projected still to rise slowly and not yet stabilized. When somebody consume sweet foods, especially candies, it is better to brush the teeth as soon as possible to make our mouth acidity stay normal for the avoidance of tooth decay. (285)

There are many countries in the world, therefore there are also many laws and customs. Some country has one law that forbid people with maximum constrain of working age to work. These countries have their own limitation based on their own society. But based on my country, I believe that people could work well until they are 60. I make 60 as the limitation because I think our

    Honey synthesis begins with bees collecting nectar and pollen from flowers but only nectar is used to make honey. Nectar is mostly water with dissolved sugars and the amount of sugars varies greatly and is usually 25-70%. Nectar is sucked by honeybees by inserting its proboscis into the flowers nectary and passes it through the esophagus and then to the honey crop, which is used as temporary storage and transportation. Nectar passes through physical and chemical process to ripen as honey. Some of the physical properties of the honey can be moisture and aw, pH and acidity, color, electrical conductivity, specific rotation,…

    As a result we found out how chemicals and HCL combine, changing the water’s pH levels. When pH levels are too high, the water is labeled as being too acidic meaning it is too hazardous to drink or touch. AST International claims that “Most of us automatically classify lemons, rhubarbs and vinegar as acidic solely because of the way they taste. We don’t realize that strawberries and tomatoes and plenty of other foods are acids too” (Tanasescu). The release of hydrogen ions is how we determine if foods are classified as acids or…

    People may think of fruit as a sweet, healthy option for a snack. What those people do not know is that some of those fruits can be very damaging to their teeth and to their bodies. One reason for this is that a variety of commonly digested fruits are extremely acidic. This experiment will test the pH level of everyday fruits to see how acidic they actually are. When eaten, which fruit will have the lowest pH (be the most acidic)?…

    Many older people continue working in various ways well past when most others retire. And if you can think of an example of someone who can't, then you have meet 1 but I assure you that there are millions out there that can. Personally I really admire them. I have seen people on their 70 still working, doing their groceries, driving, cooking, going to the gym, running errands, taking care of their house, in general living a great active life like any other person does. Here in Austin we do have tons of examples of this. For us to be witnesses all we have to do is to visit our farmers markets, parks and local events to see old this older people full of life and energy. I am a true believer in the reason for younger people to have this misconception of our elders is due to the social disconnection that we have today. In today’s world not many people take time to be with our elderly. Maybe if we spend more time with them we will notice that they are not helpless just because of their age. They just learned to think differently than we do and to do their thing differently than how we do…

    Food/drinks that have been given to children should be always supervised to know the consumption of sugar. excessive sugary drinks and food can result in tooth decay. The other way in which dental decay can be prevented is brushing teeth twice a day. Supervising children while brushing teeth encourages them and is very effective. again, we must constantly have the parents/carers on board to know what type of toothpaste they use and how they brush their teeth so we can follow the same way and don’t make the children uncomfortable, for children under three just smearing the toothpaste is good enough and for children above 3 to 6 not more than a pea sized amount should be…

    From 1985 to 1997, school districts decreased the amount of milk they bought by nearly thirty percent and increased purchases of soda by one-thousand and one-hundred percent. (Roberts) About fifty-six to eighty-five percent of school age children consume at least one soft drink daily. (Roberts) Children these days are not getting enough calcium, mainly because of the large consumption of soft drinks. Instead of grabbing a glass of milk, most kids, teens and adults would rather drink soda. The effects of the preservatives and artificial sweeteners can break down the enamel on your teeth, making them prone to rotting. The reason that most people who drink to much soda have or are more prone to rotting teeth, cavities, etc., is because sugary drinks coat you teeth, gums and tongue for hours after you drink them, and most people don’t rinse or brush their teeth right after drinking soda. (Anne) When tooth decay starts to reach the nerve, the root, and the area at the base of the tooth, the tooth may die and, if let untreated, an abscess can develop. (Term Life Insurance) Drinking soda through a straw can help prevent corroding your teeth because the beverage goes straight into the back of your throat. (Anne) Soda has a pH of 2.5 to 3.0, or around…

    The Age Discrimination Act of 2006 is legislation passed by the UK parliament in London. It is intended to discourage ageism in the workplace; in other words, the discrimination against persons on the basis of their age. Instead, all employment decisions must be passed on competencies and skills. The retirement age in the UK is 65. Under the 2006 Act, workers have the right to request to continue working beyond the retirement age. Employers must honor this request unless there are legitimate reasons to insist on retirement. Employers must follow a particular procedure when considering a request to continue working beyond the retirement age, or risk consequences.…

    Too much sugar can cause cells to become “resistant” to it which can lead to metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, and obesity. It can also cause nutrient deficiencies and is terrible for the teeth since it offers simple, eatable energy for unhealthy bacteria in our mouths. A cup of orange juice has 21 grams of sugar or 4.2 teaspoons. If you were to drink one cup of orange juice for 365v days, you would be drinking 7665 grams or 1533 teaspoons of sugar! Popular sports drinks that are designed to replenish what was burned contains a large amount of sugar. A 20 ounce Powerade has over seven teaspoons of sugar.
