[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1869292, member: 355878"] I am just nitpicking - but all that effort to get a B.Sc degree doesn't go away.... Carbs are all the starches and sugars, and the invented ones such as polyols. Sugars are the smaller molecules, sucrose, lactose, dextrose are double molecules, glucose fructose galactose are single molecules. Some taste sweeter than others - it depends on how well they fit into the tasting 'docks' of our tongues. Energy is not glucose - we can use fats as ketones for energy - our brain can use ketones, but the liver stores instant release glucose for those times when we really need to sprint to catch the bus or avoid the lions.
