  1. My guess is that you need to learn (basic) mathematics, calculus and physics first. THEN try to tell that people who did learn all these things and much more forgot something in their theories.

  2.  

     

    On top of the advertising are the outright lies, like promoting lean products as healthy; when a product that contains half the fat, in order to make it palatable, also contains twice the sugar.

     

    Also the label, due to lobbying, displays a percentage of recommended daily intake for everything other than sugar (ergo their trying to hoodwink).

     

    Not trying to be off topic (as I do see merits in your posts), I think one of the related issues can be found in this youtube vid:

     

    To summarize: Jamie Oliver shows a selection of vegetables to small childern. Hardly any of the products are recognized. Not sure how the supermarkets in the US are stocked, but this is how a vegetable rack looks like in the Netherlands:

    So if there are only processed foods available in the US and contain either too much fats or sugars, or worse both, then you indeed have a point.

  3. Agree? Yes in the same way that eating too much arsene will kill you. It's the dose that matters and since no-one is really force feeding you sugar (ergo. look at the label before you toss a product in your cart) I see no problem :)

     

     

    On reflection/hindsight I realise the topic title was a mistake (my apologies), since my intention has been neatly captioned by iNow (thank you), a more appropriate title maybe “More people die from obesity than starvation”.

    A majority of Africa tends to disagree with you, at least those who survived last starvation wave.

  4. Because there is energy stored in C-C bonds, something that formaldehyde doesn't have. Easy peasy.

     

    Also, CH2 does not exist. Why do you think it does?

     

    You cannot exceed -29.92 inches Hg btw. That's because our atmosphere exerts exactly this pressure over an absolute vacuum, which is simply the absence of everything. You cannot go lower than nothing. Also, you cannot reach below about -29.45 inches Hg using a water seal because water simply boils if it reaches that underpressure.

  5. The issue is conductivity. Salt in its solid form does not conduct because there are no ions to conduct. Both salt in solution and salt in molten form has split into ions and thus can conduct.

  6. Although it is in the 4th main group and thus you would expect it to lose four elektrons to gain octet configuration, it has empty orbitals to which filled orbitals of other atoms can bond with. So normally you would expect Sn(OH)4 as a neutral compound, in basic environments it can take up to 2 additional bonds, effectively gaining an elektron from each of them to obtain Sn(OH)62-. Note that the valency of Sn is still (IV).
