  • In this video, we explore what milk is made of. It is a really interesting mixture of minerals, proteins, water, sugar, vitamins and fat. Nature has found a way to pack a crazy amount of calories, nutrients and food into a tiny package.
    Using a little bit of chemistry, each part can be isolated.

    16:25 "It was especially horrible, because some of the bittering agent used in the ethanol was passed on to the lactose."
    So when Nigel first started the ethanol step, I was wondering if he was using food-safe reagents & solvents, considering his penchant for drinking plastic glove soda and urine sweetener.
    I actually didn't know there was such a thing as lab ethanol with a bittering agent. I was under the assumption that denatured alcohol was the only option-a solvent I have always been hesitant to use for certain applications, considering the toxicity of methanol. You know, things that aren't really meant to be consumed, but I might want to taste anyway lol.

      Ask any qualified animal agricultural scientist why somatic cell counts in the milk of modern dairy cows, and unless they're very bad at what they do or incredibly dishonest, they'll tell you its no conspiracy that this is the result of mastitis, resulting from intensive selective breeding for animals with bigger and bigger udders. Something like 50% of our country's dairy cows suffer from the disease, and the high levels of somatic cells found in the milk are hardly a secret. The avg cell counts are normally published regularly by the dairy industry itself, and they know very well that the high prevalence of udder infection among dairy herds is behind this. The industry is not only an absolute stain on all of us who allow it to go on operating like this, but it is scientifically demonstrably so!

    Like most natural substances, milk is quite interesting in how amazingly complex its chemistry is. One of the interesting things with (cows, not sure about human) milk is that casein produces fragments that are opioid agonists (called casomorphin) when digested. About the nonprofit... I'm curious what they do in order to try to prevent child abduction and children going missing. In almost every case, abducted children are taken by a parent, often because of custody disputes and the like. Not sure what you could do to reduce that... things like the Amber Alert system get kids back, but they don't really do anything to prevent the abductions from happening in the first place.

    There's one thing I don't understand about chemistry: why is stuff like calcium phosphate considered as a single compound when they're actually separated in solution.
    For example, if you have Ca2+, Mg2+, CO32- and PO42-, you could say you have calcium carbonate and magnesium phosphate, or you could say you have calcium phosphate and magnesium carbonate. The ions are not linked until they're crystallized, right ?

      What if the calcium and phosphate are present in roughly equal molar amounts?
      Example:
      1.1 M Ca
      1.0 M PO4
      0.2 M Mg
      0.3 M CO3
      You might say in this case that you have 1 M CaPO4 and 0.2 M MgCO3.
      But on the other hand, minerals (ions) are listed unbound on things like water bottles from springs.

      GiggitySam Entz in this case, they are linked, but they're kept in solution by the casein complex. Phosphates and carbonates are ugly bastards when u want them in solution (expecially phosphates). Only the alkaline ones and the ammonium salts of them are soluble.

      Bromine35 sounds like you want to study chemical synthesis, so an academic master in chemistry; maybe try your hand at a phd! as a chemical engineer, you will typically mostly work on scale-up, a lot of those jobs are in polymers. you should also know that lab-jobs at that level are rare. you'll probably be leading a small team or something. if you really want to do lab work (not necessarily as fun as it sounds, mind) you might be better off with a "professional bachelor". just my 2cents ^^
