The mayor of New York City has come up with an idea to combat an ever growing problem. Mayor Micheal Bloomberg has created a ban, a “soda ban” to be exact; his hopes are that it helps to decrease obesity rates.

bubbly beverage itself.

I believe putting a tax on sugary drinks would be a good way to combat obesity since “Soft drinks account for more than 10 percent of the caloric intake, representing a doubling since 1980” (Nestle, 2006); this is of huge concern because soft drinks provide empty calories, or calories that only bring with them a high-density of energy but not of nutrients. If 10% of your calories consistently does not provide the nutrients you need, the amount of optimum nutrients is curtailed and could eventually

As stated in the USGS, of our four water samples, Nick’s sample from State College, PA. should have had the highest concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, making it the hardest water, yet it wasn’t. A reason as to why it wasn’t maybe that his sample had to be diluted two times in order

When doing the experiment of coke and mentos, most people know that when you put the mentos in the soda the mentos makes the soda fizz, and the soda comes rushing out like a geyser. However, most people don't know why this experiment works or how it works, they just know you put the mentos in and the soda comes out.
