An alginate impression is used in dentistry to make an exact replica of the patientâs teeth, gingiva, and surrounding tissues in the mouth. The alginate dental impression forms an imprint (i.e. a ânegativeâ mould) of those teeth and gums, which can then be used to make a cast or âpositiveâ model of the patientâs dentition. Alginate impression material begins as a powder.
For example, the World Health Organization recommends keeping added sugar intake to 10% of total calories. For the average 2000 calorie-diet that's a maximum of 50 grams. The American Heart Association recommends 6 teaspoons of sugar for women and 9 for men (1 teaspoon of sugar has about 4g of sugar).
Limit daily sugar to 6 tsps (25 g) for women, 9 tsps (38 g) for men. Yet, the average American consumes 19.5 teaspoons (82 grams) every day. That translates into about 66 pounds of added sugar consumed each year, per person.
