Written in 1999, “in the (Chinese) Year of the Rabbit.”

“Some animals only chew the cud or only have split hoofs, and you must not eat them..... The rabbit chews the cud but does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you..... You must not eat the meat from these animals or even touch their dead bodies; they are unclean for you.” – Leviticus 11:4, 6 and 8, The Everyday Bible, New Century Version.

(Here’s a Yuletide article that is quite timeless. Submitted and published in three different magazines. One editor told me that as long as it is not published on the same week, it’s okay with her. Well, I made sure it is not published on the same year, not even on the succeeding year.)

Three short but popular articles for the Yuletide Season.

“Therefore the LORD said: ‘Inasmuch as these people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, a marvelous work and a wonder; for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.’” – The Book of Isaiah 29:13-14, Holy Bible, The New King James Version.

Upsilon Andromedae and the Many Strange New Worlds

MOD Vol. 32 No. 1465, October 22, 1999

On the back cover: Maricel Soriano for the Green Cross Alcohol print ad.

MOD magazine is perhaps the only women’s magazine in the Philippines that published hardcore science articles like this. It even put my article, “Upsilon Andromedae and the Many Strange New Worlds” (pp. 10-11), on its Headliners section.

“You alone are the LORD; You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things in it, the seas and all that is in them, and You preserved them all. The host of heaven worships You.” – The Book of Nehemiah 9:6, Holy Bible, The New King James Version.

HOW DOES TOOTHPASTE PROTECTS YOUR TEETH?

          You have seen commercials telling us that toothpaste protects our teeth.  With the help of over-simplified animation aimed at young viewers, advertisers try to tell us how this is so. But what really happens when we brush our teeth? What does the toothpaste really do to protect our teeth?

          Dental enamel or the hard glossy covering that surrounds our teeth is mainly made of hydroxylapatite, which is composed of calcium, phosphate and hydroxide. The attack on the enamel by acids normally present in the mouth such as lactic or acetic acid, tends to dissolve the enamel and produce carries or tooth decay. When we brush our teeth, we use toothpaste containing fluoride ions. Through chemical reaction, the flouride ions replaced the hydroxide ion in the enamel. Thus in the presence of fluoride ion, insoluble calcium fluoride forms, and the process produces a layer of fluorapatite. The fluoride-treated enamel became more resistant to acid attack.

          Tin fluoride, which is particularly effective in treating teeth to reduce the rate of dissolution of enamel in acid solution, is a constituent of many brands of toothpaste. The increased protection in the presence of tin ions is attributed to the absorption by the fluoride-treated enamel of very thin layer of basic tin phosphates.

          The fact that teeth are composed chiefly of hydroxylapatite is actually the basis for the fluoridation of water. Apparently the proper amount of fluoride ions in the water promotes the formation of teeth that are especially resistant to decay by increasing the fluoride ion content and decreasing the hydroxide and chloride ion content of the enamel. This is incorporated in the formulation of fluoride toothpaste.

          In one laboratory test, extracted teeth were exposed to a buffered lactic acid solution, and the rate of dissolution of enamel was measured. Different samples of teeth were then treated with one of two fluoride solutions of different concentration and the rates of dissolution were again measured. The result is a high reduction in the dissolution rate, that is, the teeth were significantly protected by the fluoride solution during the standard exposure time of the test.

          Toothpastes are not meant only for cleaning the teeth, but are chemically formulated for the protection of the teeth’s enamel. So kids, don’t forget to brush your teeth and keep them clean and strong.

Picture Trivia

          The name of Hollywood actress Shirley MacLane (real name Shirley MacLean Beaty), according to her parents, came from the name of another Hollywood actress, Shirley Temple (1928-2014), which was already a superstar at the age of six. MacLane’s first film was Alfred Hitchcock’s The Trouble With Harry (1955) for which she won a Golden Globe Award as “New Star of the Year.” In 1983, she won the Academy Best Actress Award for her portrayal in the film Terms of Endearment.
          MacLane has a lone daughter, Sachi Parker, from her husband Steve Parker.
