Okay, so the topic of nitrogen may not be the most exciting one in the world.
You’ll rarely win the favor of friends, family, and perspective mates by
discussing the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate into inorganic phosphate and
adenosine diphosphate.

On the other hand, nitrogen makes up over 78% of our atmosphere, and is
absolutely essential for most of the life on this planet. That’s what I call
important, if not necessarily riveting.

And if you are into Molecular gastronomy or molecular cuisine, you know that
liquid nitrogen is an important component. My daughter’s friend, Alice, attends
Salve Regina University in Rhode Island. The science department in conjunction
with their students and food services decided to celebrate culinary innovation
by using molecular cuisine for their main cafeteria. The participating student
chefs were to dress up as Albert Einstein look-a-likes on the day the molecular
gastronomy cuisine was to be served. My daughter and Alice spent several days
searching online wigs sites looking for a wig style that Alice could wear. They
finally found an online store that sold Jon Renau wigs. This particular e
commerce wig store offered well made clearance wigs at really reduced prices.
Alice decided that if she was going to have to buy a Albert Einstein type wig,
that instead of buying a silly looking Halloween type wig, she would spend a
little more money and get one she could use for other purposes. We all went to
eat lunch at the newly renovated Miley Cafeteria that had been transformed into
a wild and crazy mad scientist food lab. The food was transformed into delicious
molecular gastronomy cuisine using not only liquid Nitrogen but also such
additives as carrageenan, maltodextrin and xanthan. Alice looked great in her
Jon Renau “Albert Einstein” wig as she help serve the home made popcorn ice
cream.

Nitrogen is a common molecular component of many organic compounds, many
involved in health care. For example, the resurgence of sexually transmitted
disease has created an opportunity for medical testing companies that offer
online kits for private home std testing. Nitrogen plays a large role in the
effectiveness of such tests in that the reagents used all contain sophisticated
organic compounds that permit isolation of the disease markers and enable the
rapid response features that these tests require.

If you’re the type that likes explosions, listen up: nitrogen is responsible for
some very big bangs. You’ve probably heard of nitroglycerin? This is a compound
that, like any number of celebrities I could name, is extremely unstable, and
explodes onto the scene to make a very loud noise (for a very brief period).

If you’re more of a drinker, then you might know that nitrogen is responsible
for the smaller bubbles and generally smoother, headier consistency of certain
modern stouts and ales. But we caution you to keep your drinking of those
nitrogen stouts and ales under control. Excessive drinking is simply destructive
to not only the individual but to the community at large. We all probably know
someone who has attended AA meetings or been in rehab, but has continued to
drink excessively. Failure rates are high. However, there are other approaches
to helping people take control of their alcohol use. Today there are medications
such as Baclofen and Naltrexone that help eliminate the craving for alcohol.
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist that blocks the neuroreceptors in the brain
from receiving the endorphins that are released when one drinks alcohol.
Baclofen removes or strongly suppresses cravings for alcohol in 92% of people.
It is these strong cravings that are the #1 reason people have difficulty
cutting back or quitting drinking.

A friend recently started such a treatment found at an online site called
LifeBac. Their modern methods of combining medication to remove cravings, with
behavior change to rewire habits help people rebuild their lives, their careers,
and their health. LifeBac is not a rehab or treatment clinic, but a collection
of modern, science-based tools to empower people to take control of their
drinking without the requirement of abstinence or “recovery”. That’s right. The
LifeBac approach allows a person to drink their nitrogen rich alcohol while
he/she gradually and naturally reduces their drinks per day. And once a person
reaches safe levels, they can continue to enjoy drinking or quit entirely. I can
vouch that this approach worked for my friend.

Further on the intoxication scale, nitrogen is the main ingredient in alkaloid
plants, responsible for morphine, cocaine, codeine, magic mushrooms, etc. The
marketplace likes nitrogen. Many companies make huge profits from nitrogen and
products that use nitrogen. We probably all know of someone who has a drinking
problem, been to AA meetings or rehab, and still continues to drink excessively.

Who would think that corporate gifts have anything in common with nitrogen. Read
and discover. It is very likely that some corporate gifts such luxury gift
baskets filled to overflowing with all sorts of savory and sweet delicacies and
sent to offices for holiday celebrations will be festooned with nitrogen filled
balloons. In corporate gifts that include modern stouts and ales along with
other goodies nitrogen also would be present even without nitrogen filled
balloons. Professional breweries “nitrogenate” their beer by chilling the beer
to 32° F and forcing nitrogen into the beer under extremely high pressure.
“Nitrogenation” helps brewers re-create the smooth feel and thick head of cask
ales. So raise your glass to nitrogen the next time you have a great Draught
Guinness or Murphy’s Irish Stout, or Boddington’s Ale. If you receive a
corporate gift basket with a gift certificate to a cutting edge restaurant that
uses molecular gastronomy, you very well may enjoy unctuous ice creams whose
creaminess is obtained thanks to the small size of the ice crystals formed
during cooling with liquid nitrogen. And liquid nitrogen also makes it possible
to freeze alcohol to make original cocktails, which are not possible with
traditional freezing techniques. All you foodies owe a salute to nitrogen!

For you divers, there’s also nitrogen narcosis — basically, getting drunk on the
stuff. Nitrous oxide gives pretty much the same exact effect (not that I’d know,
of course. All of those balloons were for my second job as a clown). Underwater
explorers and flyers alike also have to deal with nitrogen bubbles forming in
the body, which commonly known as “the bends” and may be the most painful thing
that a human being can experience…
