Ethylene oxide is also hydrolyzed to produce ethylene glycol, widely used as an automotive antifreeze as well as higher molecular weight glycols, glycol ethers and polyethylene terephthalate. Ethylene undergoes oxidation by palladium to give acetaldehyde. This conversion remains a major industrial process (10M kg/y).
Galactagogues (substances claimed to increase supply). Galactagogues are foods, herbs or medications that can help to increase breastmilk supply. The use of a galactagogue requires consultation with a lactation consultant and/or medical adviser. At least 95% of mothers are able to produce more than enough milk for their baby(ies), especially when accurate support and information is obtained (1).
Galapagos tortoises are herbivorous, feeding primarily on cactus pads, grasses, and native fruit. They drink large quantities of water when available, which they can store in their bladders for long periods of time. Tortoises breed primarily during the hot season (January to May), though tortoises can be seen mating any month of the year.
