Attribute Value
Methodology
  • Students donated hair to this study. It was washed with a 2:1 solution of methanol/chloroform to remove residues and lipids. A Costech elemental analyzer attached to a Finnigan Delta V+ mass spectrometer was used for the samples. Units of per mil (0/00) relative to the international standard Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite for carbon and air for nitrogen are used for the isotopic ratios. Students also completed a dietary lifestyle questionnaire on any animal products, fast food, and/or soda that they might consume.
Description
  • These spreadsheets contain all data and data by diet type, meat consumption, gender, and British comparison for the classroom activity described in the accompanying paper.
