Included on the label that is required by the FDA will provide consumers with the Total Fat, Saturated Fat, Trans Fat, Cholesterol, Sodium, Total Carbohydrate, Protein, different vitamins and other necessary information about food content.

How do you convert calories to kcal?
k signifies "multiplied by one thousand", so 1000 calories is one kcal.
Note, however, that dietetic "Calories" are already equivalent to kcals.
They are actually exactly the same.
kcal is kilocalories. Sometimes the term Calories is also used with "C" in uppercase. Both are correct and 1 kcal = 1 Cal. When we loosely say 1 Calorie, actually we mean 1 kilocalorie.
How much sodium can a person have?
It depends on many factors, but to keep it simple:
- The minimum required intake for an average human is 500 mg sodium per day
- The U.S. RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) is 1500 mg sodium per day
- The U.S. UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level) is 2300 mg sodium per day
Sadly, many Americans who consume the standard American diet often exceed that upper limit quite considerably.
Can lack lack of vitamins cause blurred vision?

How many grams of protein does a person working out need?
usually about 70-90 % of your weight. so i am 145 LBS. so i need to eat about 80 grams of protein 10-15 minutes after a work out. =========================================================== Actually... : Your body can only use a certain amount of protein per meal. If you are exercising, obviously your body will require more protein. : If you are eating 80grams of protein after you exercise, lets hope you are Mr. Olympia. Or your body will not use most of that. : The calculation is - the typical healthy person require 0.8 grams of protein per kilo of body weight (2.2lbs). So if you are 145 pounts, you would only require 60g or protein after a workout, as an above normal intake. : If you think about it, a typical protein shake only has 20 or 30 grams of protein each scoop. And 1 protein shake of 2 scoops with milk should be more then enough after a workout.
Well, I would rather say 'Grow more food' to feed the hungry billions in Asian and African countries. I am not arguing about the nutritional value of the food. In fact, wheat and paddy are the two staple foods all over the world. Efforts should be made to cultivate these two foods more,by better seeds, irrigation facility to enhance the per acre yield. I dream a world where all people can have two square meals a day and it should be declared their basic right by United Nations.
What is green fluorescence protein?
This is a fluorescent label used in fluorescent miscroscopes. It is a protein that is produced by the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea victoria; used to trace the synthesis, location, and movement of proteins of interest in cell biology research. It is used to label live cells; passively difuses across plasma mebrane. It is called Aequorin; it is a Luciferin.
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) glows in ultraviolet light.

However, it's important to remember that individual skin types and genetics play a significant role in complexion, and maintaining a balanced diet is key for overall skin health.

How are artificial sweeteners compared with natural sweeteners?
The calorie-free sweeteners permitted now in Britain
Saccharin
Discovered in 1879, this molecule (formula C7H5NO3S) is about 300 times as sweet as sucrose. It has a bitter aftertaste.
Aspartame
The molecule is two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine, linked by a methyl group. It is about 200 times as sweet as sugar and has no aftertaste. It breaks down slowly at room temperature, and rapidly at higher temperatures, making it unsuitable for baked foods. People with the inherited disease phenylketonuria cannot tolerate phenylalanine
Acesulfame-K
The molecule contains sulphur and nitrogen, is up to 300 times as sweet as sugar and is rapidly gaining a foothold on the market in soft drinks, desserts and puddings.
Thaumatin
Derived from the plant Thaumatococcus daniellii, this is a large peptide polymer whose taste builds up slowly. Less than 1 per cent of the British population currently consumes it. It can be used to sweeten a variety of products, such as chewing gum, jam and soya sauces.
Sweeteners that will probably be permitted in 1992:
Cyclamates
These are the calcium and sodium salts of cyclamic acid. They are only 30 times as sweet as sugar, but are widely used in foods, drinks and pharmaceuticals. Britain banned them in 1969.
Neohesperidine DC
A substance derived from oranges, now used for speciality beers in Belgium. No other country currently permits it to be used as an additive.

How much potassium is in a egg?
Chemistry professor Charles Weber offers a list of potassium-containing foods
http://charles_w.tripod.com/table3.html
in his book suggesting potassium as a possible curative agent in the treatment of hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
Foods are listed as mg numbers per calorie. He lists an 80-calorie egg (frozen or unfrozen) as 0.8, so the multiple is 64 mg of potassium.
Weber's site contains many links to his and other works.
Why aren't genetically modified foods good for you?
Becuse of certain food alergies. If someone is severly alergic to fish and say peas are geneticlly alertered with fish genes to make it grow faster, then that preson could have an alergic reaction to the peas. How do we know we'r not going to eat something that is personally bad for us. People with peanut alergies can die if they eat them and sometime food that was made in the same facility as peanuts.
