For nutritional labeling and medicine in the US, the teaspoon and tablespoon are defined as a metric teaspoon and tablespoon—precisely 5 mL and 15 mL respectively. [ 22 ] The saying, "a pint's a pound the world around", refers to 16 US fluid ounces of water weighing approximately (about 4% more than) one pound avoirdupois.
Soft drink containers of 1 liter and 0.5 liters (and more recently 1.25 liter bottles) are increasingly sold alongside 12 fl oz, 16 fl oz, 20 fl oz, and 24 fl oz (355, 473, 591 and 710 mL) sizes. The half-liter water bottle (16.9 fl oz) has nearly replaced the 16 ounce size, while 700 mL (23.6 fl oz) and one-liter sizes are also common, though ...
For added sugars, the guidance is that 100% DV should not be exceeded. 100% DV is defined as 50 grams. For a person consuming 2000 calories a day, 50 grams is equal to 200 calories and thus 10% of total calories—the same guidance as the WHO. [152] To put this in context, most 12-US-fluid-ounce (355 ml) cans of soda contain 39 grams of sugar.
Carbon dioxide is 53% more dense than dry air, but is long lived and thoroughly mixes in the atmosphere. About half of excess CO 2 emissions to the atmosphere are absorbed by land and ocean carbon sinks. [16] These sinks can become saturated and are volatile, as decay and wildfires result in the CO 2 being released back into the atmosphere. [17]
