The Immediate Effects of Ingesting Sour Versus Sweet Candy on the Heart
Introduction In this particular study we observed the immediate effect that sweet candy (Skittles) versus sour candy (sour SweetTarts) has on heart rate and blood pressure upon ingestion and the time that was required for these statistics to return to basal measurements. This study does not infer the long term effects that these treatments have on the heart but can be considered a baseline for future exploration of these effects. The rate and blood pressure of the human heart varies based upon several outside and internal sources. Specifically, the ingestion of any materials will have an immediate and altering effect on the heart based upon its composition (DiNicolantonio and Lucan 2014). How the ingested substance alters the heart is based upon the molecules it is composed of as well as the amount ingested. There are five categories of “taste” that the human tongue detects: sugary, tart, saline, bitter, and the flavor of glutamates known as umami. These “tastes” lead to specific physiological responses—including varying heart rate and blood pressure (Iwata et al. 2014) For example, it is a well known fact that glucose (sugar) can improve “mental effort” while

The independent variables were the two treatments (group one—sweet, group two—sour) given to half of the class each. The dependent variables were the systolic blood pressure, the diastolic blood pressure, and the heart rate. The standardized variables were the room in which the experiment occurred—including temperature, humidity, etc., the equipment used such as the same kind of sphygmomanometer, and the time that each measurement was taken—30 seconds after chewing the designated candy, followed by another measurement at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 minutes intervals or until the measured rates retuned to
Constant: the dependent variable was the size of the gummy bear after it was soaked in regular water, salt water, baking soda water,and vinegar.
The essential points of the green-frosting are the concentration and absorbance value in each diluted which the process of serial dilution. The standard curve of Blue#1 and yellow #5 provide the equation of the trend-line in order to calculate the concentration in the diluted solution of the green frosting. The mole of dye in 100mL green stock solution, mole of dye in 5 gram and 1 gram of frosting, the Beer –Lambert Law, and the compare to amount desired by the company can be determined. The Beer-Lambert Law is the relationship between color and the concentration and equation A=Ebc. The “A” is absorbance, the “C” is a concentration in molarity, the “E” is a molar absorptivity and “b” is the path-length. The goal of the lab is to use the absorbance and the Beer-Lambert law to determine the amounts of blue#1 and yellow #5 in the green frosting.
The purpose of this experiment was to identify which brand of mint gum holds its flavor the longest. The four brands I chose were Orbit, Trident, Ice Breakers, and Wrigley's Doublemint My hypothesis was that Trident brand would last the longest and Wrigley's Doublemint would last the shortest. I did not use any people in my test. I chewed the same amount of gum at a time and the gum was all the same flavor, mint. All the gum was bought at the same time from the same store. I chewed the four brands of gums between periods of time. When chewing, I timed myself with a stopwatch. When I believed the gum ran out of flavor, I stopped the timmer and recorded the time. My hypothesis was incorrect. Instead of Trident, Orbit lasted the longest. However
Dependent variable: We are measuring the time taken for the pink indicator to turn clear when hydrochloric acid is added to it. Independent variable: We are changing the molar of hydrochloric acid we are adding to the gelatine cubes. The molars range from 1-3.
The overall average of the control Daphnia’s heart rate is 249.38 bpm. 0.01% caffeine’s average is 327.93 bpm, and the caffeine at 0.005% has an average of 268.90 bpm, both making the heart rate speed up. Ethanol had the opposite affect, 0.01% ethanol’s average heart rate for this experiment is 159.58 bpm and 0.005% ethanol had an average of 183.4 bpm. Caffeine has a positive percent change while ethanol has a negative percent change in the data chart. The percent change for 0.01% caffeine is 31.50%change, for 0.005% of caffeine it is 7.83% change and for ethanol 0.01% it is 36.01% change while 0.005% ethanol has a 26.47% change. The standard deviation for the treatments all relatively close. Caffeine 0.01% had a standard deviation of 49.77, 0.005% caffeine’s standard deviation is 58.95. The standard deviation for 0.01% ethanol is 54.19, ethanol 0.005 had a standard deviation of 49.47, and the control groups is 33.31. The p-tests show if and how significant the data
Then there was a total of 30 Pixy Stix. The test subjects were each given 3 Pixy Stix and a paper that gave instructions and for them to record results. First, the test subjects recorded their mood 1-5. Next, they ate the Pixy Stix and waited 30 minutes. During those 30 minutes the test subjects did not consume any food. After the 30 minutes was up, the test subjects recorded their mood. The test subjects did this a total of 3 times to complete the 3 trials needed for the experimental group. For the control group, the same 10 test subjects were used. They recorded their mood 1-5 and waited 30 minutes. During this 30 minutes they did not consume anything at all. After the 30 minutes was up they, recorded their mood
There was a series of people used in this experiment to look at blood pressure. The first step was to take the subjects normal blood pressure, then after showing them a scary clip retakes the blood pressure. While taking blood pressure consider age, weight, family history, commitment and gender to see if the subject has low or high blood pressure normally. After receiving all the data the charts that were made were based on age and gender.
The inquiry science lesson that was chosen was Candy Heart Science Observations. Students were asked to determine if candy hearts will sink or float. Students were also asked to
Abstract: Marshmallows have more Calories per gram. Marshmallows have .2079 J/g℃ and cheese puffs have 1.08x103 J/g℃. My hypothesis was that marshmallows have more Calories per gram and my results confirmed my hypothesis because there is a .2068 J/g℃ difference.
For years doctors have been saying that refined sugars are empty calories and consist of absolutely no vitamins or minerals that people need to survive. Dentists warn that sugary foods encourage tooth decay. Many people avoid sweet food because it can lead to obesity, heart problems, diabetes and cancer. These negative responses by people’s bodies are actually warnings. Maybe people eat sugar for other reasons than the sweet taste. The human body's negative responses to sugar may be a similar purpose to the reason kids feel pain when they are playing too roughly. People’s consumption of sweet foods might also serve as a sign of defiance against their bodies’ health limitations. What many people do not realize is that their tasty treats can affect their mind and emotions.

It tells us about the life of Korean society for the past twenty years through the adventure of a protagonist, Young-ho. Throughout this film, we can understand why the main character Young-ho, has a twisted personality and how the choice of technique can influence the story of the film.
The delicious smell of chocolate chip cookies is known to everyone across the nation. Americans thrive on deserts and chocolate chip cookies happen to be one of the many favorites. As there are many different types of deserts, there are also many different brands of chocolate chip cookies. Most Americans have their own preferences about which chocolate chip cookie they consider the best. I made it my goal to go out an find the best chocolate chip cookie by surveying people and testing three popular brands of cookies for flavor, chewiness, and appearance.
Meta: Candy is the theme of the moment within the world of slots, with Mobilots jumping on the trend with its latest release. Promising to deliver a taste worth savouring, is this game as sugary sweet as it proclaims?
There are many myths and misunderstandings about chocolate. For example, chocolate is not addictive. Many people might consider themselves “chocoholics”, but the fact of the matter is that there is now actual chemical addiction. Researchers, instead, insist that chocolate cravings are stimulated by the “sensory properties”, such as the smell, taste and texture, of chocolate (Brody Pars. 26). In a study concerning the satisfaction of a chocolate craving, one group was given a milk chocolate bar, one group was given a white chocolate bar that contains no actual cocoa, one group was given a capsule of cocoa powder, a...
These sweets can direct our health to diabetes, heart disease, and cancers later in life. Many sweet desserts will increase our blood sugar and our triglycerides. Triglycerides are a type of fat in the blood. If someone who is diabetes or a diabetes-related condition, he or she will have a risk of heart disease due to the sugar. According to Rachel Johnson, a professor of nutrition at the University of Vermont in Burlington, “What we know is that added sugars put you at a higher risk for a poor lipid profile . . . A poor lipid profiles increase your risk for coronary heart disease” (Cox). Diabetics need to avoid having lots of desserts. Besides being diabetic, most Americans are having long-term health issues because of too many calories through sugary foods. A person who is receiving the sweet is not getting any fiber, vitamins, or minerals. This cause crucial health development to him or
