my coffee numbers are all wrong for some reason. i think i adjusted some of them to 350 and some of them to 700. i didn't show my work, and i should have - i showed it for everything else - so i can't figure out what i did, sometimes.

so, i need to go back to boron and figure that out, but i'm going to post my sources and calculations here so i can figure it out next time.

boron:
h t  t  ps : / / o  d s. o d . ni h . g o v / f a c t s h e et s /B o r  on  -H e a l t h P r o f  es s i  on  al / #h 7

then, .07*3/3 = 7%. i don't know why it says 3.5%, but i'm fixing it in the next update. i may have halved it accidentally because i was shifting from 700 ml to 350 ml in the chart, but, if that's what i did, it was a mistake.

nitrates:

i took the data for the water and multiplied it by .35 instead of ,85:

3.5*.35 = 1.225 mg

that's correct.

fluoride:

this is data from the water in windsor, which i got from the city.

.125*.35/4 = 1.09%. fine.

sodium

i initially used the same data source as the water:

(((3.86 + 8.58)/2)*.35)/1500 = .145%. 

but, then i changed it to the usda data, and entered the following:

3.56*4/1500 = .949%. that would be correct for 700 ml, but. not for 350 ml, which is nly:

3.56*2/1500 = .474666666%

so, that has been corrected.

potassium:

the number i have is 7.4, which seems to be calculated from the usda data, but incorrectly:

87.2*4/4700 = 7.4%, and that would be fine for 700 ml.

but, for 350 ml, i actually want:

87.2*2/4700 = 3.71%.

so, i'll need to update that as well.

the k:na ratio numbers at the bottom level had to change, then, too.

magnesium

i did the same thing with magnesium, which needs to be halved from 5.08 to 0.02542857142, which i'm going to enter as 2.54%.
