If those dont tickle your fancy, how about aconite murders, shot towers, book smells, Swarovski crystals, French wines, bees, or head transplants? You can also learn about the scientific escapades of James Bond, Californias confusing Proposition 65, the problems with oxygen on Mars, Valentines Meat Juice, the benefits of pasteurization, the pros and cons of red light therapy, the controversy swirling around perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), why English cucumbers are wrapped in plastic, and how probiotics may have seeded Hitlers downfall.</p><p><em>Superfoods, Silkworms, and Spandex</em> answers all your burning questions about the science of everyday life, like:</p><ul><li>why superfood is a marketing term, not a scientific one;</li><li>why plastic wrap is sometimes the environmental choice;</li><li>why supplements to reduce inflammation may just reduce your bank account;</li><li>how maraschino cherries went from a luxury good to a cheap sundae topper;</li><li>whats behind old book smell;</li><li>how margarine became a hot item for bootleggers;</li><li>why duct tape is useful, but not on ducts; and</li><li>how onstage accidents led to fireproof fabrics.</li></ul>...4346949Superfoods, Silkworms, and Spandex209271https://www.gandhi.com.mx/superfoods--silkworms--and-spandex-9781778522765/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4289921/image.jpg?v=638513388044270000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781778522765_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_<p>In this new collection of bite-size pop science essays, bestselling author, chemistry professor, and radio broadcaster Dr. Joe Schwarcz shows that you can find science virtually anywhere you look.
