It all looks good to me, except for the misspelling of "dose" ("recommended daily does").

Bill, I'm afraid the Greek text is a machine translation.

.. and κρυσταλλικό should be "crystalline," not "glacial"


in this case...what is the actual translation of "glacial"

Παγερό.  But I find in an old katharevousa dictionary under "glacial:"  κατεψυγμένος, παγωμένος, παγερός, κρυσταλλικός.

The text in English is correct except the misprint of dose(s) which the machine translated as "κάνει" from the mispelt word "does". This is a proof that machine translations cannot replace the human mind. As for the word glacial, it is correct as, according to the Shorter Oxford, it is an archaic expression for crystalline in chemistry, and it is used, nowadays, chiefly in "glacial acetic acid". The translation of purified water into "καθαρό νερό" is not acurate as the latter is "clean water". Purified water is either distilled, filtered or deionized water ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purified_water). Therefore for "purified water" better use either "απιονισμένο" or "φιλτραρισμένο νερό".

Do not fret. Even young people have senior moments. Albert Einstein, forgot the key to his apartment when he was supposed to spend the first night after his wedding. And he was young!
