Fructose

[Guest guest]

I was in the store today and I saw Bob's Old Mill Fructose. I suppose

I could have taken a minute to read the bag, but I had to get out of

the store quickly so I didn't. I know what fructose is, but I

wondered if any of you have ever researched it or used it. I'm just

curious. For those of you who have never seen it, it was a white very

fine powder, reminiscent of baking powder.

Anything ending in " ose " is some kind of sugar. Sugar

molecules are complicated combinations of carbon,

hydrogen and oxygen, which can bind in slightly

different formations, and break down in slightly

different ways according to the environment they are

in--vinegar is a product of the breakdown of sugar, as

are the various types of alcohol. Some molecules have

a " spin " to them--the double helix of DNA is an

example--and in some forms of sugar this " spin " will

be towards the right-- " dexter " is Latin for " right " ,

and " dextrose " a 'rightward-spinning " sugar--while

others will be towards the left-- " levulose " . The

" fruct " part of " fructose " refers to a fruit sugar,

and fruit sugar is generally a 'left-handed " molecule,

which for various reasons produces less acid in the

tissues when it breaks down.
