only a short time examples asthma, appendicitis, acute leukemia,

What is the difference between a calorie and a Calorie? What is a
kilocalorie? -
correct answer ✅By definition, Calories are units of energy so
small that a tiny piece of food can provide thousands of them.
Simply, 1 Calorie is equal to 1 kilocalorie. You may wonder why I
have used a capital C when writing Calories. This is not a mistake
because the capital C in Calories denotes kcal on food labels,
calories and kilocalories are used interchangeably to mean the
same thing. In other words, it is just as normal and acceptable for
people to use the small "c" instead of big "C" and say "1 gram of fat
gives us 9 calories" in the nutrition world as "1 gram of fat gives us
9 kilocalories or 9000 calories" in the physical science world.
