Nutrition Fact of the Day

**Freak** · 09-06-2008, 11:09 AM

I'm going to post a random nutrition fact in this thread everyday.

Glucose, Fructose, and Galactose (the three monosaccharides) have the same chemical formula but their structures are different.

Their chemical formula is C6H12O6

Great idea Brent.. Appears you have your own niche thread...so to speak.. I believe this will be jam packed full of valuable information....

Good thinking

I love that idea, I'm like a sponge right now, trying to soak up all the info I can. Hey Freak, can you give me the name of that book again? I bought a 400 some odd page nutrition book, but it's not have all the stuff I'd hoped for in it.

Fructose is noninsulinergic.

I'll get more into this later.

Pop/soda typically contains 55% fructose and 45% glucose.

HFCS can contain as much as 90% fructose. Fructose does not cause ghrelin suppression.

I'll help you fund it, lol...Together we can wholesale it to bb.com, LMAO

So that means that it can't create an insulin spike? And doesn't effect insulin at all??

Not as a carb no, I'm getting a lot more info about it confirmed with st8flexed.
