Q:my mom was recently diagnosed with diabetes, it runs in our family and its made me really wary of what im eating but my problem is i dont know what foods are good and bad and i try to read ingredients on their packets but i really dont know what half the stuff is, its not just sugar intake im worried about, its everything that goes in my food. i want more information on what emulsifiers and food stablizers are, are they good or bad? and which types are good or bad?, if you could give me any help on overall what foods are better for you than others that would help aswel

Egg yolk isn't necessarily good for you. Mustard makes a good emulsifier between oil and vinegar (salad dressing - homemade). But yes, most food additives are not good for you. Best advice I can give - cook from scratch. That way you have complete control of what goes into your food. Oh, and you're probably looking into sugar alternatives. Truvia seems really good, as it's minimally processed, unlike Equal, Splenda, and aspartame (which turns into formaldehyde in your body). Agave nectar is also a really nice sweetener, and it tastes a bit like maple syrup (the real kind), although I'm not certain it's okay for diabetics. Brown rice syrup (can be found at health food stores) is also a really nice, mild sweetener. It's made from brown rice and is also minimally processed. Also, something that I feel that I should point out - weight does play a role in Type 2 diabetes. I'm sure you know this already though. It's best to aim for a BMI of 22, if you're not there already. Also, something that may help you as well is a macrobiotic diet (not a short-term die-t). I'll list a few pages about that below. Hope your mom is doing all right. My family health history consists of diabetes too.

Q:fuelsome bottles say to use every 3000 miles, but then under it, it will say good to use after every fill up. Which one is it, for fuel injector cleaner?oilcan i use Marvel Mystery oil in between oil changes to top off a bit? Is this ok, or do I have to drain in soon like seafoam. Also if I overfill the oil, what will happen?thanks

It means use the injector cleaner every 3000 miles but after you have filled your tank, Using oil additives in used oil is a waste of time. Most if not all manufacturers frown on the use of additives and their use will invalidate the warranty. Personally I think that they're a complete waste of time and money (42 years experience)

Q:What are the common food additives

Common chemical additives are preservatives sorbic acid, colorant caramel color, sour agent citric acid, lactic acid, etc. In fact, these chemical additives have a scientific name and common name of the points, of course, is the use of common name. Now the public because there is a smell of preservatives and discoloration of the psychological, so businesses in the food recipe to write its common name is also promising. We have to oppose the intentional speculation of some businesses, such as a moon cake packaging marked with a line of words: "This product will not contain preservatives," there can be a line below the small word "sodium benzoate", but in its There are sorbic acid in the formula. It is not without preservatives, but does not contain preservative sodium benzoate, the same is still a preservative. This is the intention of business speculation. As well as some vegetable oil manufacturers in their products marked "this product will not contain cholesterol", in fact, all the vegetable oil is not cholesterol. They want to advertise can write "vegetable oil does not contain cholesterol", but they write "this product will not contain cholesterol" to give people an illusion that only their products do not contain cholesterol, and other vegetable oil contains cholesterol. These are businesses deliberately speculation.

Q:Is citric acid a natural additive?

Citric acid is a typical natural sour agent, which is a flavoring agent

Q:I need a lead fuel additive/octane booster for a 1966 Ford Mustang. What brand should I purchase?

Octane boosters typically don't work. I would get some aircraft fuel and mix it with unleaded.

Q:find the additive and multiplicative inverse of 2.314?

The additive inverse is the number with the sign changed, and will add to 0. This is -2.314 The multiplicative inverse is the number which, when multiplied by 2.314 will give you 1.000. This number is 1/2.314 -- or the reciprocal, which is 0.4322 rounded to the 4th decimal place.

Q:particularly an additive called Prolong ?

no. those things make the oil flow down into the oil pan. you actually want oil to stick to the metal. it's better when you start the engine. If you want to get the best oil for your engine. Just do what I do and use full synthetic. just use the proper oil weight (usually 5W-XX) that they say to use in the owners manual. Syn doesn't break down at high temps and it lasts 5 times longer than the natural oil. Many people just change the oil filter and just add more syn oil. don't waste you're money on syn blend, either use the all natural oil or the all syn. If you use the blend then you still have oil that will break down just as fast as it would be if it was all natural oil. I own a toyota celica and I use syn and nothing else. tom

Q:Need help for a Phyics quiz, thanks guys!

Suppose you have a group of resistors, either in series or parallel. Let the total current into the group be I and the voltage across the group be V. Then the power dissapated by the group is P IV If the group is a series connection then the current in each resistor is the same as the group current but the voltage across each resister is different and the total power can be written as; P I(V1 + V2 + .) IV1 + IV2 + . but this is just the sum of the individual powers If the group is a parallel connection the voltage is the same on each but the current is different and the power could be written as; P (i1 + i2 + .)V i1V + i2V + but this is just the sum of the individual powers So the additive property of power is due to the additive property of voltage in a series circuit and the additive property of current in a parallel circuit. Another way of looking at it is; if several elements in a circuit are using a certain amount of energy per second then the total energy used per second is the sum, regardless of how they're configured. Total energy used is total energy used.

Q:tell us your stories of how Lucas additives helped or hurt you.I'll bet those who use it swear by it

The Lucas transmission fix has saved my tranny twice.

Q:I have 3 container grow asian pear trees that I want to plant, do I need to add anything to the clay soil to promote a healthy tree?

There are several good soil additives but I think the experts agree that if you can only add one, use shredded redwood bark.
