==Contents vs. composition==
* Sugar is sweet because it contains sucrose (C<sub>12</sub>H<sub>22</sub>O<sub>11</sub>)
Does it "contain" [[sucrose]]? I mean, is sucrose one of several ingredients in table sugar just as [[iodide]] is an ingredient in [[table salt]]?
Or is sugar nothing more or less than sucrose?
Think of [[Aspirin]]. What does it contain? A tablet of aspirin "contains" a trace of other ingredients to keep it in tablet form and so on. But aspirin does not "contain" [[acetylsalicylic acid]]. It "is" [[acetylsalicylic acid]]. This should be in the [[Conservapedia:Guidelines|Guidelines]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 10:39, 4 February 2009 (EST)
