What is California Proposition 65
California Proposition 65 only applies to products sold in California. Prop 65 warns potential customers that California recognizes significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Its purpose is to increase public awareness about the potentially dangerous stuff you may not realize is in the products you buy. Sample Warning:
WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including [name of chemical(s)/chemical class(es)], which is [are] known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. READ MORE!
What is the Best Oil?
Organic Olive Oil is the most widely used oil, however, a study at the UC Davis Olive Center revealed that 70% of the major olive oil brands at the US’s local stores have been diluting their oil with cheaper alternatives to increase profits at the cost of our health. Olive Oil can cause light-dependent toxicity when exposed to light and air. Olive Oil has been shown to cause skin irritation. Sunflower oil has been shown to reduce acne, hydrate and repair skin tissue.
What Color is Carbon 60?
Pure, Carbon 60 is black. Only after being desolved in a hycrocarbon solvent does the color change. A 2019 scientific study revealed the color of C60 solution varies depending on the solvent. Toluene and xylene solvents produce a purple tint. Trichloroethylene produces a darker purple. READ MORE!
What is Food-Grade?
The Definition of “Food-Grade” The term, “food-grade,” is used to describe tools, supplies, and equipment that are of sufficient quality to be used for food production, food storage, or food preparation purposes.
Food-grade means that the material is fit for human consumption or permitted to come in contact with food.
High Performance Liquid Chromotography
One technique for fullerene purification is liquid chromatography (LC). LC is a wet chemistry method that includes a solution ( called the mobile phase ) of a molecular mixture. This solution is forced to pass through a column filled with a high surface area solid (called the stationary phase ). The separation of fractions is verified qualitatively by the comparison of the observed optical spectra, vibration spectra and NMR data or by color ( magenta or purple for C60 in toluene and reddish- orange for C70 in toluene). Liquid chromatography separates molecules according to their weights. READ MORE!
