    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    I'm a doctor of biochemistry myself and of molecular biology so I'm pleased to meet one of my own kind. We are rare but we are exceptionally beautiful creatures. :P I can find nothing wrong regarding anything you say here at all, in fact I think I've said most of it myself. I think the problem...

    Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

    The closer you get the more you will lose. You may not realise this but you have no chance of winning this, you have a chance of acceptable losses for Ukraine and if you move beyond that it will be the end of Russia as you know it. Trump is a moron and a puppet but make no mistake, we will not...

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    It's close enough to not matter. The amount would matter regardless of which you would consume. I mean... If you have a fructose intolerance, how about neither?

    Opinion: Jordan Peterson has always been a crank

    I'm sorry but Jordan Peterson is a two bit dipshit that is in it for the money and he has nothing of importance to add. Psychology itself is a pseudoscience and he takes it into the realm of new age bullshit with spiritualism and drugs that make you have magic abilities. He's a joke and so are...

    Opinion: Jordan Peterson has always been a crank

    Of course they are, however to play pretend that we don't know what "God" means in modern society is dishonest. If it's nature, fine, but why call it God? He is trying to change the concept to fit exactly anything and everything and it's dishonest.

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    It's pretty much the same amount of fructose either way.

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    Yes there are enzymes that break down sucrose through hydrolysis but acid hydrolysis will do the same thing. IOW, in the presence of an acid the bond between glucose and fructose in sucrose will break down. In the end you'll be consuming the same thing.

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    You are absolutely correct, it's a linked version of the two sugars.

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    No enzyme needed, unless we're talking about the enzymes in the saliva, it's the acids in the stomach that does that for the solid product and for the non-solid product it's already done. And you are absolutely right about the problem. It's the excess of it that is the problem. Especially on...

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    Well yeah, 25 years as a doctor of biochemistry and molecular biology so I'd say I know some things on the subject. :P Yeah, so sucrose (which is the stuff that you get from sugar canes and sugar beets) and HFCS are both disaccarides as in they break down into two monosaccarides, glucose and...

    Rant Conspiracy theories/ Random thoughts -- Post your whackiest beliefs in here that no one agrees with WITHOUT REGRETS!

    Time for us in Europe to move on. Linux has been mature for a long time. My dad is 84 and he can double click the icon on the desktop or click the start menu in either, it does whatever he needs. OnlyOffice looks just like MS office unless you need something more advanced which would be...

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    Well... That explains it. As a biochemist I spend more time online than I'd like just correcting that stuff.

    Opinion: Jordan Peterson has always been a crank

    That is your made up idea of what a God is, all of societies all across the world disagree and some would have you shot for blasphemy. You can't just make shit up and go "there, that is God" and be expected to be taken seriously. Which also explains why Jordan Peterson who will immediately...
