Great Latin name: Amorphophallus titanium: "giant misshapen phallus" Perhaps I do not have the details correct, but I was told this story: Kew Gardens had one of these flower in their greenhouse many years ago, when they were very

Yes I know. I have bought it and used it in cooking. Takes a pretty light touch to not offend many (most?) western palates. Very easy to overdose, but I have loved it in my Indian friend's home cooked food.

If it is like asafoetida ("devil's dung"), as mentioned on the linked page, I'm out. The only spice I know that can manage to seep out of a closed container in a spice drawer and infest the rest of your spices. Given the

Interestingly,they are ascomycetes (like yeast)and not basidiomycetes (like most consumed mushrooms ). Their taste to me has more in common with brewer's yeast than "regular mushrooms". Meaty, savory, delicious! Time to get t

>The twist: Among the goods being shipped was a large quantity of wood alcohol (isopropyl for you nerds). Chemist-nerd here. Wood alcohol is methanol, not isopropanol. It is considerably more toxic.

There is only one chemical entity called cholesterol. More formally known as (3β)-cholest-5-en-3-ol. Different dietary fats (or other constituents) may play a role in the blood levels of the different _lipoproteins_, such as HDL and LDL.

Interesting. The furfural comes from cellulose degradation I assume. And the vanillin must come from lignin. The toluene and ethylbenzene are outgassing from old adhesive? Benzaldehyde could come from air oxidation of the toluene. Not sure

Yes, something along these lines. Its called "headspace' analysis. The volatile components that come off are typically checked with GC/MS.

The article and it's title suggest that the toxin is "bred out" of the fish, but it is actually a result of bioaccumulation from toxic organisms (eg bacteria) in their environment. Fish cultured in tanks are naturally free fr

Are you sure that it was not prepared with Szechuan peppercorns? It certainly is numbing, and I've never experienced that from jellyfish.

Certainly the native OS should support this. But I n case you are not aware, third party apps such as Hiya will do this exact thing.

Many psychoactive compounds have differing effects based on the speed at which they enter the brain. Perhaps you drink coffee quicker than soda, causing the concentration of caffeine in your brain to rise more quickly?

I guess you mean most favored theory by you? I do not find UV exposure to be a consensus opinion after a brief glance at the subject. There is at least some support for myopia being associated with close focal distance activities, as mentio

I think urea will be in sweat mainly in the case of damaged kidneys, not under normal conditions. Not sure about that though.

Underarm odor is largely determined by bacterial breakdown products of fatty acids, steroids, and other aliphatics into odorous compounds such as smaller-chain acids. Urea plays no role that I know of. See https://en.wikipedia.or

The article mentions that dry earwax is found in Asians, in comparison to the sticky form in Westerners. It does not mention the fascinating detail that this difference is determined by a single gene, which also influences underarm odor. h

Isn't this a bit pendantic? I think cholesterol occurs in plants, but at levels that are probably insignificant to human diet.

Here is the data that the study is compiled from. The majority of the added compounds are sildenafil (Viagra) or analogs of it. Interesting to me, Locacerin showed up in some of the weight loss preparations. https://www.accessdat
