The Chemistry of STARBUCKS
Many people are openly addicted to coffee. In northern Europe, home of the world’s greatest coffee drinkers, annual coffee bean consumption hovers around 9 kg per capita, which equates to 400 mg of caffeine per person per day (this is a highly addictive, highly stimulating dose). In North America, coffee bean consumption is much lower at 4.2 kg per capita per year, which equates to 185 mg of caffeine per person per day. However, this is still a highly addictive dose.

Disorders of Plasma Sodium
Human cells dwell in salt water. Their well-being depends on the ability of the body to regulate the salinity of extracellular fluids. By controlling water intake and excretion, the osmoregulatory system normally prevents the plasma sodium concentration from straying outside its normal range (135 to 142 mmol per liter). Failure of the system to regulate within this range exposes cells to hypotonic or hypertonic stress.

Two Chemists Knighted
Researchers who contributed to the development of Viagra and produced “greener” solvents, respectively, achieved knight status from the Queen of England.
Campbell’s work at Pfizer helped launch the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra, although he told that he didn’t invent it himself. “I’m not on the Viagra patent. If you want, I would say I was the father of Viagra because I laid the seed and started the project.”
