Windeby I -originally dubbed the ‘Windeby Girl’. (Windeby Girl and Weerdinge Couple)In 1952, on the Windeby estate near Schleswig, Germany, two bodies were found in a small bog, beginning decades of speculation into the supposed tragic love affair of the two corpses.[1] The owners of the estate decided to harvest peat from a bog to be sold as fuel. Almost immediately, the peat cutters discovered the remains of a male (originally thought to be a 14-year-old female- Windeby Girl) now known as Windeby I.[2] Despite ceasing work immediately, the machinery used for the peat cutting had already severed one of the body’s legs, one of its feet, as well as one of its hands.[3]Shortly thereafter, a second body (a middle-aged man known as Windeby II) was found sixteen feet away. An examination revealed that he had been strangled with a hazel branch and then placed in the bog. Sharpened, forked branches had been jammed into the peat around him to ensure he did not rise from his watery tomb.[4] Small twigs of flowering heather were found on the woolen headband, indicating that burial occurred in late summer.[5]Professor P. V. Glob (who studied Windeby I after its discovery) believed the body to be a fourteen year old girl. Glob described the body's position in the peat:She lay on her back, her head twisted to one side, her left arm outstretched.... The right arm was bent in against the chest, as if defensively, while the legs were lightly drawn up, the left over the right. The head, with its delicate face, and the hands, were preserved best: the chest had completely disintegrated and the ribs were visible.... The hair, reddish from the effects of the bog acids but originally light blond, was of exceptional fineness but had been shaved off with a razor on the left side of the head.[6]Upper body of Windeby I. ( CC BY-SA 3.0 )The exquisite preservation of these corpses comes courtesy of some peculiar bog chemistry. Bogs begin when moss dominates a low-lying patch of land, causing the soil to become waterlogged and acidic. Bacteria have a difficult time surviving in such conditions and thus can’t break down the dead moss and other vegetation, which instead simply pile up and become peat.[7] But most bogs cannot pile their peat layers very far above the surrounding land, because the bog plants depend on minerals from groundwater to survive. If the bog rises too high, the plants can’t reach the nutrients they need. Along the coast, however, the vegetation can get minerals in the spray that comes off the ocean, and thus the bogs can grow into raised domes a few yards high.[8] Cut off from groundwater, these bogs depend on rainfall, which they soak up like sponges. A corpse in such a place can stay moist for centuries, but it’s protected from bacteria by the harsh chemistry of the bog water. And the tannins produced by the moss turn a corpse’s skin to leather.[9]There were no grave goods found with the Windeby I bog body, apart from a woolen band covering the eyes and a collar around the neck.[10] The woolen strip was woven using the sprang technique[11] from brown, yellow, and red threads., possibly used to cover the corpse’s eyes after death, or to hold the hair back, in which case the band would have slipped down over the eyes due to the shrinkage of the body.[12] One German scholar suggested that Windeby I may have been blindfolded at burial "to protect the living from the gaze of the dead." [13]Based on the body’s slender build, it was initially assumed that it belonged to a female. In 1970, the body was reexamined, yet so little of it remained, scientists could not say with certainty that the body was female.[14] This misconception continued until 2007, when a re-assessment of the remains using DNA analysis suggested that it was more likely that the Windeby I body belonged to a male. Heather Gill-Robinson, a biological anthropologist in charge of the German Mummy Project in Mannheim, examined the skeleton, which had been removed from the Windeby bog body during conservation.[15]"My examination of the skull and the pelvis suggests that this person was a young male," says Gill-Robinson. "Although I'm not really sure that I was the first person to test the idea, I'm certainly the first to have explored it in the 21st century, using modern technology and perspectives." [16]Reconstruction process of the face of Windeby I (Other Bog Bodies: Windeby I)Interestingly, Windeby I's head was partly shaved.[17] This was not part of the ritual associated with his demise, but rather that one side of the head was more exposed to oxygen than the other, causing the hair on that side of the head to experience a greater rate of decomposition. Alternatively, the hair might have been accidentally damaged by the peat cutters or during excavation.Reconstructing what went on so long ago is more than usually difficult. The civilisations that produced the bog bodies left no written accounts of themselves; little is known about their customs and religions, and much of the evidence comes from outsiders who had their evidence at third hand, and saw the rites they wrote about as evidence of barbarism.[18] Increasingly sophisticated computer programs and use of medical technology such as CT scans, radiocarbon dating and 3-D imaging have resulted in additional and potentially more accurate answers to the mysteries of the peat bog mummies.Yet, archaeologists continue to turn to the Roman historian Tacitus in search for insight into the circumstances surrounding the death of the Windeby bog bodies. Tacitus in Germania, praised the tribes who lived beyond Rome’s north-eastern borders for the straightforward nature of their justice.[19] According to Tacitus (whose source was possibly the accounts of traders who had visited the north), members of the Germanic tribes could:“Launch an accusation before the Council or bring a capital charge. The punishment varies to suit the crime. The traitor and deserter are hanged on trees, the coward, the shirker and the unnaturally vicious are drowned in mirey swamps under a cover of wattled hurdles.” [20]The murdered bodies that emerged from bogs millennia later seemed to confirm Tacitus’ judgment. The majority of the bog people had not died of natural causes. Most had been hung--the ropes were still around their necks--hit over the head, or stabbed.[21] Some, like Grauballe Man, suffered particularly cruel treatment, with broken bones, slit throats, and crushed skulls.[22] A number of the women had had one side of their heads shaved, a sign of disgrace at least since medieval times, suggesting to some that they were being punished for infidelity.[23]Tollund Man (Were the Mysterious Bog People Human Sacrifices?)These people, archaeologists proposed, had clearly committed some terrible offense and this savage execution was their sentence. Tacitus seemed to support that view: basically, the Germanic tribes that lived beyond the Rhine had the custom of punishing wrong-doers by having their executed bodies staked in bogs.[24] Yet some bodies, like that of Tollund Man, were treated more gently by their handlers, who even dug them graves in the bogs rather than simply tossing them in.[25] Some researchers claimed that Tollund Man’s noble visage suggested he could not have been a criminal. Rather, he represented a chosen sacrifice to a bog deity.[26] One Danish archaeologist proposed that the bog bodies were sacrificed to an earth goddess called Nerthus.[27] This theory as well was based on the writings of Tacitus, who described a rite in which slaves were made to pull a wagon carrying Nerthus’ image through the fields.[28] Afterwards the car, the vestments, and the divinity herself are purified in a secret lake. Slaves perform the rite, who are instantly swallowed up by its waters.However, it is worth noting that Tacitus’s writings on the customs practiced by the Germanic tribes were based on second or even third hand accounts. In addition, Tacitus intended to shame his Roman readers for what he perceived as decadent behavior.[29] Therefore, the accuracy of this ancient source may be called into question. Another challenge to this interpretation is that the Windeby I bog body displayed no signs of trauma, as one would expect if the person were executed. Instead, the remains exhibit growth interruptions in the bones, indicating a sick young man who may have died from repeated bouts of illness or malnutrition, which finally resulted in death.[30]For decades after their discovery, similar confusion surrounded the Weerdinge Couple, two bog bodies found in 1904 in the Netherlands. The pelvis of one was preserved, making it easy to identify him as a man, while the other was identified as a woman because of its slightly smaller stature.[31] Their intimate pose—one body seems to be gently holding the other—touched people, and they were soon nicknamed Mr. and Mrs. Veenstra ("veen" is Dutch for bog), or Joan and Darby.[32]Weerdinge Couple (Windeby Girl and Weerdinge Couple)But the Weerdinge Couple is actually two men. Some wondered if this could be proof for the Roman historian Tacitus's claim that Germanic tribes punished homosexuals by executing them and throwing them into bogs.[33] But his supposed knowledge of this practice is at least 150 years removed from the time of the Weerdinge men's death.Perhaps the men were sacrificed together (one man's stomach was sliced open at the time of his death), were comrades who had fallen in battle, or were family members buried at the same time; for now, their relationship remains uncertain.[34]With Tacitus in hand, for a long time researchers believed that the two bog bodies belonged to an adulterous couple who were caught and punished.[35] Despite the publication of recent analyses, many continue to adhere to this misidentification.[36] Even the recent publication of the results from the radiocarbon dating of the two bodies from Windeby revealed that they are not contemporaneous, and that the so-called “male lover ” was in fact 300 years older than Windeby I.[37] Windeby I has been radiocarbon-dated to between 41 BCE and 118 CE.[38]From their earliest discoveries, bog bodies have generated fascination and speculation in equal parts. Northern Europe's answer to Egyptian and Peruvian mummies are typified as individuals who either willingly or unwillingly met a violent demise as part of an unknown ritual. When two bog bodies are recovered in close proximity, a romantic relationship in this world and the next is often implied.[39]Time after time, advancements in scientific analyses have illustrated how fallible those assumptions are. At the time of their discovery, the immediate classification of the Windeby bog bodies based on the assumption that the smaller corpse was female would not have been overly questioned. It was only a short leap to make the assumption that the close proximity of two bog bodies implied a male/female intimate relationship, and not one of genetically related family members. A similar scenario applies to the Weerdinge Couple. It would be decades before scientific advancements led to the reclassification of the two bodies as both being male, not female and male as initially stated. Chronologically, these couples are often separated from one another over hundreds of years, reflecting the continuation of long-standing communal rituals, practiced over time.It is perhaps the implied ritual aspect that scholars find most intriguing and mystifying. Based on first discoveries of bog bodies, it was believed that the individuals died under violent circumstances to appease angry gods. Scientific advancements in the last decade demonstrate the need to revisit, reanalyse and revise earlier perceptions. While many may have died in a ritualistic manner, some may have died of natural causes or simply fell into the bog and perished. Now that science has unlocked the secrets of bog body formation, it is time to turn our attention to reconstructing these individuals’ lives, identities and deaths without imposition of societal mores.Footnotes[1] https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://mspace.lib.umanitoba.ca/bitstream/1993/20275/1/Gill-Robinson_The_iron.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjniYXw2NzrAhUDCs0KHd53Aow4ChAWMAF6BAgJEAE&usg=AOvVaw0Tnh8AFCeYyvbk3eRSPmh1[2] Other Bog Bodies: Windeby I[3] Windeby girl[4] The Bog Bodies at the Schleswig-Holstein Landesmuseum[5] Expedition Magazine - Penn Museum[6] The Bog People[7] https://science.sciencemag.org/content/277/5334/1929.2[8] The Curious Case of the Bog Bodies - Issue 27: Dark Matter - Nautilus[9] Bog Bodies[10] Expedition Magazine - Penn Museum[11] A European Cultural Community[12] Windeby I, Bog Body from Germany[13] Bog Bodies of Europe: The Most Famous of the Peatland Mummies[14] Windeby Girl and Weerdinge Couple[15] North Dakota State University[16] Windeby Girl and Weerdinge Couple[17] 'Windeby Girl' Mummy's Secret - She Was A Boy[18] The People of the Bog[19] Tacitus on Germany[20] The bodies in the bogs[21] Who Were the Ancient Bog Mummies?

It is merely foolish American tradition. Stuck in the mud. Almost None of the answers here seem to be aware that there are other school systems in the English speaking world. Most of the answers here seem to think it is because the kids need higher level math. This is incorrect. The idea that there is a good reason why American chemistry has to be taught in 10th grade is not true. It is Poppycock.The need for higher math would not explain how it being taught at a younger age in England. The English years 7, 8, and 9, when pupils are aged between 11 and 14, are called key stage 3 in England. In America this is grade 6, 7, and 8. Middle school. The students in England learn biology, chemistry, and physics at these ages in England. Then there is more of it after 14. If students can do it in England, it can be done in America too. This narrow parochial attitude of American education should be stomped on. Hard. There is NO reason why American students cannot be taught the curriculum below. The main reason is teacher and school districts dislike, ignorance, and fear of science education. And a lack of a rigorous national curriculum. Without a real basic common science education Americans cannot discuss basic ideas coherently as citizens. Most American get far less than the educational subjects in chemistry listed below that are taught in England between what wold be American 6th and 10th grades.Here it is, The National Science curriculum for chemistry from 2013 for key stage 3 in England. At the end of this stage, pupils aged 14, in Year 9 (American 8th) are assessed as part of the national programme of National Curriculum assessment:Subject content – Chemistry Pupils should be taught about:The particulate nature of matterthe properties of the different states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) in terms of the particle model, including gas pressurechanges of state in terms of the particle model.Atoms, elements and compoundsa simple (Dalton) atomic modeldifferences between atoms, elements and compoundschemical symbols and formulae for elements and compoundsconservation of mass changes of state and chemical reactions.Pure and impure substancesthe concept of a pure substancemixtures, including dissolvingdiffusion in terms of the particle modelsimple techniques for separating mixtures: filtration, evaporation, distillation and chromatographythe identification of pure substances.Chemical reactionschemical reactions as the rearrangement of atomsrepresenting chemical reactions using formulae and using equationscombustion, thermal decomposition, oxidation and displacement reactionsdefining acids and alkalis in terms of neutralisation reactionsthe pH scale for measuring acidity/alkalinity;

Short answer: Sugar and an overabundance of starchy foods cause weight gain and obesity. So, cutting it out, makes you lose weight.Long answer below:Where Does Fat Go With Weight loss?People often wonder where does fat go with weight loss? This question recently came up in a CNN conversation. The answer was originally researched by Dr. Ruben Meerman and Professor Andrew Brown.Dr. Meerman is an assistant scientist at the University of New South Wales and author of “Big Fat Myths: When You Lose Weight, Where Does the Fat Go?” Professor Brown is the head of the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences at the same university.When you lose 1 kilogram of fat, where does fat go with weight loss?The interesting answer to this question is that fat gets metabolized. Dr, Meerman and Prof. Brown pointed out that originally Leifson et al. answered this question who used heavy oxygen and found out that this was metabolized into heavy water.Technically these experiments are fairly complex, but they allow the researchers to see exactly where the body incorporates these chemicals and where they end up with breakdown of fat. The BMJ paper describes that the breakdown of 1 kg of fat follows the following pattern: It breaks down into 0.84 kg of CO2 (carbon dioxide) and 0.16 kg of H2O (water). In other words, the lungs are the primary organs that get rid of fat and the kidneys excrete the water. There is a bit of extra energy in this chemical reaction as well, which dissipates through the skin and through exhaled air.What did health professionals think where the fat would go?The health professionals were doctors, dieticians and personal trainers. About 65% of them thought fat would evaporate into energy/heat. About 10% thought fat would end up in the feces. 5% thought fat would turn into muscle. Another 5% thought fat would turn into sweat or urine. 8% were correct that fat would become CO2 and H2O. 7% said they did not know.The chemistry of fat deposits and metabolizing fatThe body deposited triglycerides from the liver metabolism of sugar and fatty acids into fat cells and stored them as oleate (C18H34O2), palmitate (C16H32O2), and linoleate (C18H32O2). Part of this are many chemical reactions, including a number of enzymes. These fatty acids form esters and turn into gigantic molecules with this chemical formula: C55H104O6. The BMJ paper further says that an overall chemical description of metabolized fat would look like this:C55H104O6+78 O2→55 CO2+52 H2O+energy. In plain English it means that 1 molecule of fat ester (from fat storage) is metabolized together with 78 molecules of oxygen. This results in 55 molecules of carbon dioxide, 52 molecules of water and energy.Fat turns into carbon dioxide and waterBased on this chemical reaction a calculation of the breakdown of fat into carbon dioxide and water was possible. The surprising result is that 84% of fat becomes carbon dioxide and only 16% of fat becomes water. We exhale the carbon dioxide from our lungs and it is mostly the kidneys that excrete the water. People who lose weight are aware that they have to urinate more often. But they do not notice that they get rid of a lot of carbon dioxide, as this is a subtle process.Some observations from the fasting mimicking dietThe fasting mimicking diet (FMD) was at the center of the most recent anti-aging conference in Las Vegas I attended. This was the 25th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine in Las Vegas, Dec. 14-16, 2017. Late in December 2017 I started 5 days of FMD and have just completed my 4th round of it (FMD is done 5 days out of each month). My main interest in doing this is to prevent heart attacks and strokes and I like the idea of stimulating telomeres for anti-aging and increasing stem cell production. See more details under this link.Personal experience of fasting mimicking dietI keep meticulous records of my body measurements using daily body composition scales, which I record in a booklet. Between March 23, 2018 and March 28 I lost 1.5 kg from 64.8 kg to 63.3 kg. Fat composition was reduced from 14.1% to 12.2%. Visceral fat was reduced from 6% to 5%. My muscle percentage rose from 38.1% to 39.1%. The basic metabolic rate was 1471 Calories on March 23 and went down to 1449 Calories on March 28. My body mass index went from 22.0 to 21.5.I definitely noticed the frequent urination, something I had noticed in the past in 2001 when I lost 50 pounds over 3 months. Of course it is understandable when you reduce your daily calorie intake to 600 Calories per day that you will lose this amount of weight. People have different metabolisms. It may be that you won’t lose as much as I did.What causes mainly weight loss?There are many people who think that extra exercise would help you lose weight. But a publication has established that only about 8% of weight loss is due to exercising. 92% of weight loss is due to dieting.Regular exercise is important for conditioning of your lungs, heart, muscles and joints. But to keep things in balance a reasonable diet, like a Mediterranean diet, should also be part of the regimen.Sugar overconsumptionThe obesity wave in the US started to take off between 1976 and 1980. 40 years later it is still rising. It is interesting to note that both wheat flour and sugar consumption in the US were increasing parallel to the rising obesity figures. In the 70’s the old-fashioned wheat has changed into the force hybridized Clearfield wheat, which is now 100% of the commercially available wheat. Clearfield wheat contains 7-fold higher gluten amounts than the old-fashioned wheat that your grandparents consumed. Gluten stimulates your appetite, so you crave more wheat and you crave more sugar. This becomes a vicious cycle.Excess calories are stored as fatThe liver metabolizes sugar from regular food and from processed food into triglycerides and LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol that plugs up arteries). As I mentioned above, the body stores any excess triglycerides as fat and deposits the excess into fatty cells. You see from this that essentially sugar and wheat end up as fat deposits. I suggest you change your food intake into eating sensible food with fewer calories. Start by eliminating most of your sugar, wheat and processed food intake. This will help you to melt fat away as I showed with an example of my 5 day FMD.Where Does Fat Go With Weight loss?ConclusionI reviewed facts about the chemistry of melting fat away. The question is where does fat go with weight loss? In the process of weight loss fat breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. I also documented how you can lose fat in just 5 days (1.1 kilogram) on a 600-calorie diet and reduce the body mass index from 22.0 to 21.5.Most people do not recognize the importance of watching their diet to achieve weight loss. 92% of weight loss occurs as a result of dieting. Wheat and sugar consumption have a direct connection to the obesity wave that started between 1976 and 1980. I have cut out all wheat, all sugar and all processed food in 2001. This allowed me to lose 50 pounds then and my body mass index today is 21.5. It can be done, even if you are 73 years old.Published here first: https://www.askdrray.com/where-does-fat-go-with-weight-loss/
