Could a carbohydrate curb calorific cravings?
ConclusionThis study found that mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with inulin gained significantly less weight and ate significantly less food than mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with cellulose.Additional experiments with inulin and the major product of fermentation of inulin in the gut (acetate) found that they affect the activation of certain regions of the brain, the production of brain signalling molecules and the activity of certain enzymes.These findings give us some insight into how fermentable carbohydrate may suppress appetite.Previous research also suggests there are numerous benefits of fermentable ca...

St. Patrick's Day Science
St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th, so you still have time to plan some holiday fun that incorporates chemistry!
Play pranks on your family by coloring the water in the faucets green. You do this by unscrewing the screen filter from the faucet and inserting green (or blue and yellow) tablets used for coloring bath water (tub tint). Don't use food coloring or Easter egg dye unless you want the coloring to stain whoever touches it.
Along similar lines, copper compounds in algicides will turn blonde hair green. I'm not suggesting anything... just throwing it out there.
Eat green eggs for breakfast.
Start a green f...

8 pronunciation errors that made the English language what it is today | David Shariatmadari
Think hyperbole rhymes with Super Bowl? Don't worry, it could be the start of something beautifulSomeone I know tells a story about a very senior academic giving a speech. Students shouldn't worry too much, she says, if their plans "go oar-y" after graduation. Confused glances are exchanged across the hall. Slowly the penny drops: the professor has been pronouncing "awry" wrong all through her long, glittering career. We've all been there. I still lapse into mis-CHEE-vous if I'm not concentrating. This week some PR whizzes working for a railway station with an unusual name unveiled the results of a survey into frequently g...

What Foods Contain Carotene?
Discussion
Carotenemia is a common problem in infants as carotene containing foods are often the first solid foods for infants. This is a benign problem and families can be reassured. It resolves in weeks to months depending on the diet. Carotenes are not synthesized by humans and are obtained through the diet. Carotenes are ingested as amorphous solids and crystals and breakdown of cellular membranes increases the bioavailability of the carotenes. Breakdown of the walls is often mechanical (e.g. grinding up of the food), but absorption is also affected through pancreatic lipases, thyroid hormone, bile acids, dietary fiber...

If you can't use an apostrophe, you don't know your shit | Mind your language
Greengrocers – and big supermarkets – may struggle to tame the 'apostrofly', but it's not actually that hardI used to think "weer" in the song Mama Weer All Crazee Now was Slade's idiosyncratic spelling of "were", in Black Country dialect (which I am allowed to make fun of because my family originally came from there): "My mother weer a bit croizy, loike." It turns out, more prosaically, to be Slade's idiosyncratic spelling of "we're" as in "Mother dear, we are all rather eccentric these days." If only they had used an apostrophe, the meaning would have been clear.It's easy to smirk at the "greengrocer's apostrophe" â€...
