HCA and Citric acid?
As a person interested in Nutrition I have heard that citric acid has some effect on lactose (or something) and therefore helps people feel rejuvenated after a long day....such as by squeezing and drinking the juice of 6 lemons, as one nutritionist recently mentioned here in Japan.
Is there a resource to find out about such claims.
Also, many commercial products marketed for obesity contain something called Hydroxy Citric Acid (HCA) which, as far as I can tell, is NOT the same as citric acid. The reason I ask is that soources such as Nutrition Action Healthleter say there is some fear of toxidity in animals, though not shown in people. Can someone comment on the relationship, if any, between HCA and Citric acid.
Thanks

- You may want to pose your question on Wikipedia:Reference desk. Dysprosia 11:46, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
If you add a </table> tag to the end of the properties table where is should be, it gets rendered in the HTML as & lt;/table& gt; so it displays "</table>" when you visit the page if it's there. It is probably related to the odd placement of the following text paragraph in some browsers (like IE). HTML problem, or MediaWiki bug? Niteowlneils 05:43, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- I added the table, and so it was my markup that created the bug, and although I looked at things that might be wrong for an hour or so, I didn't find the source of the problem. I created the table from a copy-and-paste job from another page acetic acid, I think, where it worked fine, but I did some heavy customization on the table, and I may have messed something up in the process. Ideally, I'd have a spreadsheet macro to generate the html from spreadsheet contents. Shimmin 10 Mar 2004
- Yeah, I saw that. I also looked at the HTML for a while, including putting it thru the w3.org validator. It found 3 errors, but correcting the seemingly most pertinent one didn't solve the problem. The version of the table at boric acid also renders correctly. It isn't really a big deal for this particular article, but since it may be evidence of a MediaWiki bug, I have enlisted the help of user_talk:bcorr, since I am not an HTML expert, and have only been a Wikipedian for a week or so.
Citric Acid is also a chelate in plants
Maybe that needs a sentence or two...
