    Course content will demonstrate how basic scientific principles underlie everyday aspects of food and cooking, from fruits, grains, and meats to sauces and candies. One meeting each week will be devoted to a lecture-style presentation of basic chemistry as well as applications and relevance of basic chemistry to food and cooking. The second meeting will consist of interactive presentations and demonstrations given by local-area and in-house chefs and peer-driven collaborations/discussions.

    An elementary knowledge of structure and bonding in organic chemistry will lead to an understanding of important biomolecules and some fundamental processes in the body. This knowledge will be used to study the mode of action of important classes of drugs such as birth control drugs, antibiotics and some illegal drugs. The course will finally focus on critical evaluation of scientific claims in the popular media (e.g. newspaper, world wide web). Related to this, students will learn to make a rational evaluation of the safety and efficacy of prescription drugs, herbal remedies, and dietary supplements. Case studies (e.g. phen-fen, olestra and St. John's Wort) will illustrate the important issues. Ultimately students will become better informed consumers of scientific and psuedo-scientific information.
