Check the label. Anything with sulfuric and phosphoric acid is good for rust removal. The reason why it's in cola is simply because without it, it would be way too sweet from all the sugar.
Isn't it the opposite? Soda would be bitter AF cause of the caffeine and the carbonic acid is added to give it the fizz, then they dump a ton of high fructose corn syrup in.
The carbonic acid is for the fizz, yeah. The sulfuric and phosphoric acids are to regulate sweetness. Sodas are syrups that get diluted with water hence the need for all that sugar.
No, it's too sweet because big soda brands are targeting Americans first and Americans just love too much sugar in all foods. There are plenty of non American sodas in Europe and they have only a fraction of sweetness.
Dalston's is amazing and is available in every supermarket in the UK. No sugar, no sweeteners, just carbonate fruit juice with some flavouring. One of my favourites.
Fentimans is a big soda brand and they do add sweeteners, but their drinks are nowhere as sweet as Coke etc.
Seriously, though, when those blue-green fuckers came up with oxygenic photosynthesis and started shitting oxygen all over the place they killed practically everything else on the planet, the bastards. Paleontologists call it the Oxygen Catastrophe or Oxygen Holocaust.
Yeah it's why we have antioxidants. The idea is oxygen is constantly stealing electrons from nearby molecules and antioxidants help replace those electrons.
Life is just a constant form of slow death. Up until your body simply can't replace the old cells fast enough anymore.
The book is about food, but mostly it talks about oxidation of the body and how various foods affect that, because that seems to be the main factor for aging and other degradation of the body. (TL;dr: eat a lot of broccoli)
I'm not an expert though, so cannot judge how accurately the science is presented
I've also heard that electrons in them cannot be relied upon - especially to be anywhere that they say they will (instead, they zip off to the other side of the whole galaxy/universe, then before you can tell anyone they're gone, they are back again!) :-P.
It can burn diamond at 720 °C, what do you think it'll do to soft tissue over the course of an entire lifetime. Things helping aerobic life survive are
a) partially consisting of partially oxidized polymers in the form of carbohydrates (remember, the only thing that cannot burn is what has already been burned);
b) oxygen's peculiar, natural triplet state which greatly slows down its kinetics compared e.g. to its horrible relative, ozone.
Oxidative stress is a major factor in health and longevity. People who stop breathing oxygen before dieing generally live a bigger proportion of their lives healthy on average.
Linking to this got me permanently banned from the entire Libera IRC network, apparently because a random snowflake mod also happened to be named Walter and decided it was a personal attack.
Oxygen toxicity is an iatrogenic illness caused by exposure to high FIO2 during oxygen therapy. Oxygen saturation should be monitored in patients receiving supplemental O2. As the oxygen gets metabolized, some molecules convert to superoxide anions known as hydroxyl radicals, which are human tissue toxic. The resulting pathophysiological changes at the alveolar level result in decreases in lung compliance, diffusing capacity, and PaO2 levels. Central nervous system (CNS) toxicity can occur with exposure to high partial pressures of oxygen. Acute changes in the lungs resulting from oxygen toxicity consist of alveolar and interstitial edema, alveolar hemorrhages, and proteinaceous exudates. Further prolonged exposure to oxygen leads to a proliferative phase, which includes the proliferation of type II epithelial cells and fibroblasts, followed by collagen deposits. Exposure to FIO2s greater than 0.60 for as little as 24 to 48 hours can lead to severe irreversible pulmonary fibrosis.[6][7]

I mean, it wouldn't stay on the pedestal anyway. It would just float away.
Draconic_NEO@mander.xyz · 2 pts · 2y
It won't float away if you freeze it first, of course it will sublimate away but not all at once.
Edit: Melts, doesn't sublimate, still won't melt all at once though.

At atmospheric pressure it wouldn't sublimate. It would just melt, then boil.
