coli or a human cell, one glucose molecule forms 36 ATP molecules (in something like a yeast cell, which lives its life without oxygen, only glycosis occurs and it produces only two ATP molecules per glucose mo
About the only way to do that is to supplement your diet with omega-3 vegetable oils or to start eating fish in a big way (meaning two or three times a week). Summarizing all of this information, the current scientific thinking on fat consumption goes something like this: Limit your fat...
One end of the surfactant molecule is hydrophilic -- it likes water. The other end is lipophilic -- it likes fats. The lipophilic end is also referred to as being hydrophobic. In Play-Doh compound, surfactant combines with lubricant to reduce stickiness. If you add a solution of surfactant...
Alpha-amylaseandbeta-amylase, theprimary starch-converting enzymes, exhibit optimal performance within a specific pH range, generally agreed to be between 5.2 and 5.6. Beta-amylase, which favors a slightly lower pH around 5.2, tends to produce a more fermentable wort, leading to a drier beer. ...
Resistant Starch:As the name implies, resistant starch (RS) is a type of carbohydrate that resists digestion. It’s not digested in the small intestine and moves on to the large intestine, where it’s fermented. These fermented fibers act as a prebiotic — food for the good bacteria in yo...
Over the past two decades, it has become clear that this relationship is far more complex than originally thought. Perturbation of the microbiome, referred to as dysbiosis, can affect a remarkable array of different host systems, particularly metabolic and immune processes. This phenomenon blurs ...
They begin to tangle and mix until the substance is less like the liquid you started with and thicker and rubbery like slime! Slime is a polymer. Picture the difference between wet spaghetti and leftover spaghetti the next day. As the slime forms, the tangled molecule strands are much like...
This diagram shows one fat molecule. When you eat fat, you are eating collections of molecules like these. The choice of the fatty acids in the fat controls many different things about the fat, including how it looks, whether it is a solid or a liquid at room temperature and how healthy...
At the core of the starchy substance and toward the pointy end of the kernel is the germ. The germ contains a small amount of oil. If you cut a popcorn kernel in half, you can see the husk, starch and germ. If you cut out the tiny piece of germ and squeeze the germ on a ...
I know that many of you have low stomach acid, but might not recognize that you do. Raising my levels of stomach acid was actually a big breakthrough for me, that led me to getting my years of fatigue, acid reflux and Hashimoto’s into remission. We know from the research thatlow sto...
