Comments about the tests

In the Protein test, my prediction was correct & the result was a

positive result, since Low-fat Milk always have Protein in it. In the

Glucose test, my prediction was wrong & the result was not a

positive result. I think this would mean that Low-fat Milk doesn’t have

any Glucose in. My prediction was half correct in the Starch test, but

didn’t become as a positive result, since I think that Starch isn’t

inside the Low-fat Milk.
