  1. 🦷🍭 While #sugar is often blamed for cavities, it's actually the lactic acid produced by #bacteria as they digest #carbohydrates that weakens enamel.

    Human saliva typically neutralizes these #acids within 30 mins. but frequent snacking can keep mouth pH levels low enough to cause permanent damage. Experts recommend waiting at least 20 mins. after eating before brushing to allow enamel to re-harden.

  6. "Hypochlorous acid isn’t new. It’s listed as one of the World Health Organization’s essential medicines and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use on food products and in certain clinical applications.
    [...]
    For all its benefits, hypochlorous acid solution has one major weakness: it’s highly unstable."

  11. Can you differentiate between the strength (strong/weak) and the concentration on an #acid? Explore the properties of #acids and #bases using particulate level diagrams, graphs and tools such as a pH meter, #pH paper, and a #conductivity tester.

  12. Most life on #Earth is based on polymers of 20 #amino #acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized #proteins. They catalyze reactions, form #backbone and #muscle and even generate movement.

  13. Funny that the same people who refuse #vaccines because "they don't know what's in there" never had any problems with getting a tattoo with ink they don't know the composition of.

    They also happily use #Chinese #herbs which are known for often containing heavy metals like led, cadmium and plant-based carcinogenics like #Aristolochic #acids.

    The latter is infamous for causing liver cancer in countries where people believe in that stuff, such as Taiwan.

  18. I'm troubled by how some high school textbooks introduce acids and bases. It is what I call the "Step one" problem - authors don't seem to lay out the simplest, most basic aspect of the issue first. Students can learn an entire chapter - but they still have troubling explaining it in their own words - which means that they don't really get it. So I created this resource for any middle school or high school science teachers
