What is a political action committee (PAC)? A political action committee (PAC) raises money for the purpose of defeating or electing candidates to elected office. PACs are formed by corporations, associations, labor unions and individuals with common interests.
Zinc is a lustrous bluish-white metal. It is found in group IIb of the periodic table. It is brittle and crystalline at ordinary temperatures, but it becomes ductile and malleable when heated between 110Â°C and 150Â°C. It is a fairly reactive metal that will combine with oxygen and other non-metals, and will react with dilute acids to release hydrogen.
Animal foods such as beef, eggs, and oysters (cooked) are a rich source of zinc. The best plant sources are legumes (dried beans, garbanzos, black-eyed peas, lentils, peas, and whole soy products), pumpkin seeds, whole grains and nuts.
