In updated advice, the regulator has warned the products are not suitable for children under seven. It comes as amid a surge in horrifying reports of children collapsing.
I never knew this about #SlushPuppie containing #glycerol. Something for all parents to be aware of. It's been many years since I had one but I used to love them when I was little.

Are brands using glycerol in slushies to dodge the sugar tax? Experts warn parents of under 4s to steer clear of sugar-free varieties of the iced drink, which can cause potentially fatal intoxication

Tree #Frog Update:
I was unable to decide if I should move him, so I installed a twig that matches his camouflage so he at least has a chance against the blue jays.
He is a Grey Tree Frog, one of the types of tree #frogs that can actually survive being frozen. Right now, he is loading up on calories to produce the molecule #glycerol, which will act as an anti-freeze to keep him alive through the winter.

Abstract Biobutanol is one of the types of biofuels produced using microbial synthesis (acetone–butanol–ethanol fermentation). It is possible to increase the level of accumulation of the target product due to metabolic changes in producer cells under the influence of stress factors. For this purpose, the effect of such stress factors as allopurinol, furfural, zinc, and oxygen, as well as glycerol as a nonspecific substrate on the functioning of Clostridium sp. cells, was studied. It was demonstrated that the butanol concentration was the highest (1.2 g/L) as compared with the control (0.6 g/L) when adding 0.5 g/L of furfural to the culture medium. The use of ZnSO4 at a concentration of 0.001 g/L increased the butanol concentration to 1.1 g/L, and the highest butanol concentration (1.3 g/L) was obtained when using glucose and glycerol as carbon sources in a ratio of 1 : 3. The butanol concentration in the culture medium increased to 0.8 g/L with the addition of 0.025 g/L of allopurinol. The possibility of using the above-mentioned stress factors to increase the accumulation of the target product by influencing the metabolic pathways in microorganism cells is substantiated.
