currently the most common unit for measuring heat and soon to be replaced by joules (J) The calorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one cubic centimeter of water one degree Celsius (formerly called centigrade) The calorie is from the Latin word "calor" meaning "heat " It is equivalent to 4 185 joules) It is important not to confuse the word calorie (small c) with Calorie (capital C) A Calorie (or kilocalorie) describes the available energy in food It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1,000 grams (Kilogram) of water by 1 degree Celsius Physicist Paul Hewitt put it this way: "To the weight watcher, the peanut contains 10 Calories To the physicist, it releases 10,000 calories (or 41,850 joules) of energy when burned or digested " [return to top];
