...with an estimated 300,000 attributed deaths per year (NIH, 2012). We learn in healthcare that any disease spreading at a rate faster than expected is considered epidemic. There has been great consternation about the rise in obesity and other health-related problems that is out of proportion with our increase in population. This paper will question whether the addition of fructose and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in beverage and food items has contributed to this problem. There are popular theories about decreased physical activity or perhaps the dissolution of the nuclear family mealtime as possible sources for increased obesity rates. Yet time and time again scientific food research has observed changing trends in eating habits, food choice, and ingredient additives as likely causation. The data that I have found through researching credible sources supports the theory that HFCS additions have contributed to obesity (as measured by BMI) and gout in addition to other health-related problems such as high blood pressure and visceral abdominal fat collection. The public is poorly informed in regards to the actual amounts of HFCS that is added to typical food items and correlative potential for untoward...

...Presence of glucose, proteins and fats in foods Introduction- Complex foods are eaten on a daily basis, which contain mixtures of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Glucose (also known as dextrose) is one of a group of carbohydrates known as simple sugars or monosaccharides. Glucose has a molecular formula C6H12O2. It is mainly found in fruits and honey and is the main free sugar circulating in the blood of higher animals. Glucose is the source of energy in cell function, and regulation of its metabolism. Molecules of starch are the main energy-reserve carbohydrate of plants consists of thousands of linear glucose units. Another major and linear compound composed of glucose is cellulose [Glucose]. Protein is found throughout the body in the...

...CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND RELATED STUDIES Related Literature Adhesive is any substance that is capable of holding materials together in a functional manner by surface attachment that resists separation. “Adhesive” as a general term includes cement, mucilage, glue, and paste—terms that are often used interchangeably for any organic material that forms an adhesive bond. Inorganic substances such as portland cement also can be considered adhesives, in the sense that they hold objects such as bricks and beams together through surface attachment, but this article is limited to a discussion of organic adhesives, both natural and synthetic. (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/5823/adhesive) Fish glue is often made by heating the skin or bones of fish in water. It can also be made from part of the fish’s air bladder which, in the case of glue made from sturgeon, is called isinglass. Adhesives made from fish, as well as hide glue made from other animals, were sometimes used in ancient Egypt. They are still used in art, for shoe and furniture repair, and to preserve old manuscripts. Hide glue is typically manufactured from the skin of non-oily fish. During medieval times in Europe, fish glue was often used to repair animal-based sheets called parchments, which were used for writing. It was also used in painting materials by some artists in China. Paintings and drawings were often coating with fish glue in the 1800s. While the glue by itself is typically brittle...

This paper will discuss lactose intolerance form a molecular level to the evolutionary level. Also, this paper will outline an experiment designed to show the various levels of lactose and glucose in various samples of milk. First we must understand, what is lactose intolerance? To do that we must first understand what happens in the human body that defines lactose intolerance. The first step is learning what takes place in order to have a chemical reaction. Then, what happens during that reaction to make someone lactose intolerant or non lactose intolerant. Finally, what happened during evolution that makes some people lactose intolerant and some not. Enzymes are proteins that make reactions happen faster. (National Enzyme Company 2015). Enzymes regulate chemical reactions. They do this by binding to molecules called substrates. Enzyme activators are molecules that start or speed up an enzyme’s activity...

...sweeteners over natural sugar. They think artificial sweeteners will not add extra calories to the body and help them to control their weight. However, many health experts doubt the safety of artificial sweeteners after doing research about it. They have discovered several dangerous elements in artificial sweeteners. This paper reports the types of common artificial sweeteners, the reason why they are harmful, their bad influences on the body, and why they are not helpful to control our weight. The first artificial sweetener, saccharin, was discovered in 1879 in America. In the beginning, artificial sweetener was only used by diabetics who couldn’t absorb too much natural sugar (de la Pena, 2010). Since 1980, people have started to use chemical sweeteners to control their weight and improve their health. Suddenly, artificial sweetener products became very popular in the United States (de la Pena, 2010). Millions of Americans use chemical sweeteners instead of natural sugar in order to enhance their health. However, it does not mean that chemical sweeteners are health foods. Actually, they are not. They are not like vitamins, whole grains, or proteins that can contribute to our health (de la Pena, 2010). In fact, investigators found many potential dangers of using artificial sweetener. Sucralose is one kind of chemical sweetener that is used most extensively in the marketing of products such as cakes, cookies, and breads, because it tastes most like sugar (“The Sweet,”...

...Trans fat on the other hand are considered bad fats. “Saturated fats are solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature. This is because saturated and unsaturated fats differ in their chemical structures. Saturated fats have no double bond between molecules, which means there are no gaps and the fat is saturated with hydrogen molecules.” (Sheehan) Just like fats, carbs are quite important to regulating the system. They are broken down to simple and complex. Simple carbs are sugars. While some of these occur naturally in milk, most of the simple carbs in the American diet are added to foods. “Complex carbs pack in more nutrients than simple carbs, because they are higher in fiber and digest more slowly. This also makes them more filling, which means they’re a good option for weight control. They are also ideal for people with type 2 diabetes because they help manage post-meal blood sugar...

...the chemicals. If people realize that the food that they eat every day is harmful to our body because the amount of sugar that is being dumped in the food, they will stop eating that kind of food and start to eat healthy fresh organic food. The food that we eat on a daily basis will affect our long-term health specially the students; also, the food industry does not care about people’s health instead it cares only for money. In this paper, I will show that food industry is destroying people’s health on one hand by putting an enormous amount of sugar and on the other hand making low-fat products. What are the people really eating? Once in my human biology class Dr. Walter Hoeh said: “The food that you eat every day will not kill you now but it will kill you after twenty to thirty years from eating the food, however, eventually you will die from the food.” He explained how food affect us, when we heard the explanation we were shocked because we buy food without reading the ingredient. When you eat processed food it tastes delicious and you crave for more, but you are only eating sugar and harmful fats and that type of sugar and fats are harming the human body. According to Ms. Epel in the skinny of obesity episode 2, she said:” I'm suspicious a anything that says low-fat diet because you know that that means that they had to compensate with a lot these added sugars there's more than five ingredients its probably a processed food and there's probably not much real food in their it...

...invaded American television broadcasting. I was not aware of the positives of the negatives of high fructose corn syrup, and honestly didn’t even know what it was. The advertisements started my line of questioning. After reading part on of The Omnivore’s Dilemma my position on the topic of HFCS is beneficial because the production of the product allows for the development of low cost food items, due to the American government subsidies to corn production. HFCS also allows for the productions of a variety of many low cost food products, which sustain American farmers business with the use of subsidizes. Although many argue HFCS is less health than other types of sweeteners that cost more to produce, research has shown that high fructose corn syrup is chemically similar to table sugar. (Insert Cite) High fructose corn syrup is created when the “molecular composition of glucose and convert it to fructose” (oukosher., 2012). Essentially it’s a process that combines one glucose molecule with one fructose molecule that is fixed with fructose, and to add more “sweetness” to the product one way is to add slightly more glucose than fructose. The two researchers responsible for this process go by the name of Marshall and Kooi were the creators in 1957. Corn refiners in the United States were in love with the process do to the federal subsidies that could help this endeavor. With the establishment of...
