Turning carbon emissions into methane fuel
Chemists have developed a novel way to capture and convert carbon dioxide into methane, suggesting that future gas emissions could be converted into an alternative fuel using electricity from renewable sources. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that accounts for a large part of Earth's warming climate, and is produced by power plants, factories and various forms of transportation.

Sugar Intake: How Much is Too Much?
Sugars are a type of carbohydrate, and as with other carbohydrates they contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Carbohydrates, are an important part of a healthy diet, as are proteins and fats. Except for dietary fiber, when carbohydrates are consumed they are digested and broken down into glucose, which serves as an energy source for most tissues in the human body. Glucose is a preferred source of energy for red blood cells, the central nervous system, and the brain. Except for dietary fiber, carbohydrates provide approximately 4 calories per gram.
