I know its stupid shit no one should ever know, but I have to take like 15 science related classes for my major :mellow:
You can eat fruits and what not because they have the sugar compound glucose which is a natural form of sugar. The reason you can't eat candies and what not is because they have succrose which is a different compound of sugar that doesn't break down into energy. If I remember right glucose is carbon and nitrogen based and succrose is heavily nitrogen based. High levels of nitrogen is what makes urine dark yellow, so if you are peeing clear then you're eating low in articifical sugars

good to know actually so now ill cut down on the succrose and pee in a cup to make it look like water and serve it to someone and laugh my ass off ...You can eat fruits and what not because they have the sugar compound glucose which is a natural form of sugar.

Sheeptastic!
Um. glucose is the sugar that most people eat. Fructose is the kind of sugar in fruit. It's based on Five Carbons instead of the 6 in Glucose.
Succrose also has more carbons than fructose, but I forget how many. Been too long since I took this stuff in college.
Sucralose is based on Succrose, and will be my new friend.

hrmm i think your wrong tiv see they have power bars that have glucose in them so you get energy fast and they taste nasty and for that reason it think most of the things we eat contain succrose

I haven't seen all this since I left high school. And knowing me, I just memorized information to pass the tests, never tried to understand it. Basically, because that is not my field.

And I know for a fact Glucose is the carbon compound that breaks down into energy. I'm still dealing with that in microbiology. :mellow: So I screwed up in the type in fruit, but then again fruit isn't a source for energy its a source for essential vitamins.
I was trying to remember what the artificial succrose was called too, but you found it for me
See I told you if I remember right, and I didn't. Its been a while since I took biology. Either way, I know for a fact the sugar compound in candy and what not is what makes your pee dark yellow cause of the nitrogen concentration.

Very true. yeah Glucose is what breaks down into ADP. then ADP turns into ATP and helps provide energy. I can't believe I still remember this. I was the kid in the hallway teaching this stuff again before our bio test when I was a freshman. LOL. And that was like..almost 10 years ago.

We use to eat a bunch of honey about an hour before we played hockey, cause its one of the most concentrated foods known to contain natural glucose. Which by the way gets really nasty after a while.
Ha, yeah I haven't messed with this stuff since high school besides the ADP and ADT stuff because they decide to throw high school shit back into college every now and then to make sure I don't forget something I had no intention on remembering :angry:
