I recently came across a video in internet town of A New York man conducting a cheese melting experiment. He had a leftover cheese sandwich from his children's lunch and he attempted to do a little experiment with the cheese. he placed the flame from a lighter on the cheese and the cheese did not melt at all. the color became darkened and black as you will see in the video below. for some reason, this was really interesting to me, knowing that American cheese is processed but not actually ever seeing how the processed properties take to a natural earth element such as fire. Is chemistry the reason why the cheese is not melting? Some may argue that the cheese isn't melting because it isn't being heated on an even surface where sustained heat is applied to the entire cheese in an even manner. the flame, applied directly, is a cool flame therefore making the cheese resistant to it. The lighter fluid is made up of butane which is not a good source of fuel because it doesn'

Coconut oil was not always considered to be the nutritious, healing ingredient that it is today. Ten years ago coconut oil was considered to be taboo by nutrition and health experts in the United States.

Over 90% of the fat contained in coconut oil is saturated. How can an oil with an exceptionally high amount of fat be good for any one? Individuals interested in losing weight are usually told to stay clear of foods that are high in saturated fat. Though
