I picked the second quote‚ “trans fats should not be banned. Consumers should make their own choices about what they eat. The government should educate the population about the risks of eating foods with Trans fats‚ but then let people make their own decisions.” The way I look at this situation is‚ we do a lot of bad things to our bodies. We eat fast food‚ sugars‚ drink alcohol and plenty more. Everything that we take into our body systems‚ has some type of effect on our bodies‚ whether it be causing

Ban Trans-Fat Although fats are considered to be a part of our health‚ there are certain types that should be ignored. One of which has drawn controversial issues is trans-fat. Trans-fat is mostly found in many food sources such as vegetable oil‚ crackers‚ cookies and margarine. It increases blood levels of low density lipoprotein that is considered to be bad cholesterol‚ and decreases level of good cholesterol‚ high density lipoprotein. Trans-fat is created when oils are partially hydrogenated

Institute a State-wide Ban of the Use of Trans Fat? Trans fats are a type of fat often used in preparation of fried foods in order to enhance the flavor and‚ in some cases‚ increase the shelf life of a product‚ but these inexpensive‚ artificially produced fats have been liked to heart disease because they increase levels of bad cholesterol in the body while lowering levels of good cholesterol and that is why I agree that we should ban the use of trans fats in New Jersey restaurants and food establishments

Trans Fats There is lots of controversy going on about should the trans fats be banned by the government or not. On one side are people who are for ban of trans fats‚ while their opponents think that they should not be prohibited. What are the trans fats? Are they really bad for our health‚ should they be replaced with another substance and why there are so many people against them? Producers have the power over us‚ as well as opportunity to put trans fats into food in small amounts‚ without

The literature value for the melting point range for Trans-9-(2-phenylethenyl)anthracene is 130-133 oC. The obtained range was lower than that at 120.3 to 123.8 oC. Because it is lower than the known value‚ this means the obtain product is not completely pure. Impurities in the compound can result in a decrease in the compounds melting point‚ which is observed here. The impurities could be 1-propanol due to an insufficient drying. If the experiment was performed again‚ the product would need to be

CHEM3412 Synthesis of a Porphyrin Porphyrins are hetereonuclear‚ macrocyclic compounds that play an important role in living organisms. Examples include the non-protein heme portion of hemoglobin in animals whereby the lone pairs on nitrogen can bind to the oxygen-carrying iron. In plants‚ chlorophyll uses the vast conjugation to allow absorption of light for photosynthesis. The characteristic colors of porphyrins is also due to the conjugation. An examination of the porphyrin structure

Synthesis of trans-9-(2-Phenylethenyl)anthracene Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to convert carboxyl compounds into alkenes. While this reaction yields both the E and Z isomers‚ it is preferred over other reactions due to the lack of uncertainty of where the double bond is positioned. Also the stability of an ylide determines which isomer is the major product. 1 Experimental: Compounds Benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride 9-Anthraldehyde 50% Aqueous NaOH DCM Product Formula weight

I. INTRODUCTION Synthesis Acetylsalicylic acid is an acetyl derivative of salicylic acid which appears as a white and crystalline and a weakly acidic substance with a melting point of 135°C and is also known to be aspirin. It is one of the most widely used drugs that can lower fever and is used as a painkiller. According to (Escobel‚ 2011)‚ Aspirin is synthesized through the reaction of salicylic acid with acetyl anhydride that causes a chemical reaction that turns salicylic acid’s hydroxyl group

This experiment involved a substitution reaction to perform synthesis of 2-phenylethanol to get (2-bromoethyl)benzene. Using NaBr in an acidic solvent of H2SO4 with H2O present‚ this synthesis was possible. Subsequent evaluations using TLC and then analyzed samples by Gas Chromatography were done to evaluate the results. Using SN2 reactions‚ primary alcohol is going to be converted to alkyl halide. Since the reaction can be reversed‚ the strong sulfuric acid was to make sure the product would indeed
