This is often used as a sweetener, and is what most diet and nutrition experts refer to as empty calories.

Despite their harmless appearance, experts now estimate that these rough dirt coats prevent 700 teragrams (30,000 times the mass of the Statue of Liberty) of dust from being released into the air each year, cutting worldwide dust emissions by 60%. [Unfortunately, the future will be even dustier]( unless actions are done to conserve and repair biocrusts, which are endangered by climate change and changes in land use.   More Science Updates [Stars are more massive than we thought]( [Gravitational waves 'kicked' a newborn black hole across space]( [Chemical clues reveal dinosaur metabolism]( Stay Informed, [Image] Rex Jackson P.S.
