Material: Quartz. How It's Made: Quartz countertops are man-made engineered stone countertops formed by combining 90% ground quartz (a natural hard mineral) with 8-10% resins, polymers, and pigments. This forms a very hard granite-like surface. The appearance depends on how the quartz is ground: coarsely ground quartz produces a flecked appearance, while finely ground quartz produces a smooth look. Major Brands: Italian company Breton owns the patent to manufacture solid surfaces from quartz and resins.
Compulsive overeating disorder is frequently called a âfood addictionâ because eating can cause biological changes in your body that are similar to those caused by addictive substances.
