About Milliliters
A milliliter (mL) is one thousandth of a liter (0.001 L) and exactly equal to one cubic centimeter (cc/cm³). It is one of the most commonly used units in everyday life - standard medicine doses, cooking measurements, and beverage labels all reference milliliters. A standard teaspoon holds about 5 mL, a tablespoon 15 mL, and a standard wine glass typically 150-250 mL. The milliliter is the workhorse of liquid measurement in medicine, cooking, chemistry, and consumer products worldwide, bridging the gap between the full liter and laboratory-scale measurements.
About Deciliters
A deciliter (dL) = 0.1 L = 100 mL - the universal blood-test reporting unit: blood glucose in mg/dL, haemoglobin in g/dL, cholesterol in mg/dL, BAC in g/dL. Normal fasting glucose <100 mg/dL; dangerous BAC >0.3 g/dL. Also the primary volumetric cooking unit in Scandinavian recipes (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland). 1 dL = 0.1 L.
