certain compounds can be listed on the nutrition label and we can’t even taste or see them. Butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene‚ also known as BHA and BHT‚ are both phenolic compounds that are added to certain foods in order to preserve fats and oils. Even though these compounds are used to preserve the foods we eat‚ how do we know that BHA and BHT aren’t bad for us? Even though BHA and BHT have minimal negative effects‚ they are outweighed by many beneficial attributes and are not bad

Fat Chance for the “Fat Tax” Our bodies and what we put into them is our own business unless someone else is harmed in the process. I can understand a tax on drinkers and smokers because drinkers can harm others when they get behind the wheel of a car‚ and secondhand smoke is a killer of many‚ but a tax on what people eat is preposterous. People are still going to eat junk food no matter what the cost is; look at smoking‚ the price of cigarettes keeps going up but people continue to buy them

body first uses the amino acids circulating in the blood for glucose production; after this source is depleted‚ the body begins to break down protein in muscle to produce needed energy. Ongoing breakdown of protein may cause growth stunting because fats and proteins are being used for energy instead of as building blocks for new growth and

1. Explain how carbon’s electron configuration and valence result in its ability to form large and complex organic molecules. These covalent bonds can be single‚ double‚ or triple bonds‚ but one carbon atom is limited to only 4 covalent bonds. It can bond with other carbon atoms and different atoms (H‚ O‚ N‚ P‚ S) to form long chains‚ ring shaped molecules‚ and branched/irregular shapes. 2. Explain why the combination hydrocarbon backbone +functional group(s) accounts for the unique functions

Adrenoleukodystrophy is transmitted from parents to their children as an X-linked genetic trait. ALD is an inborn error of metabolism that causes the degeneration of the brain because of abnormally high level of fat in his blood‚ certain long-chain saturated fats .There is an enzyme that metabolizes these fats is defective in ALD patients. There is also liquefaction of white matter in the brain. This causes degeneration of the brain and the body loses its functions and death within two years of diagnosis.
