Dextrose Serving size

**massff** · 04-26-2005, 07:52 PM

OK, got a question. If the Serving size is 1.25 tsp and it is 4 g, I should put in 31.25 tsp to get 100 g, correct? I know it's simple math, but just wanted to make sure I get the ratio right. Thanks.

That seems like a lot.

Or 10 tablespoons = 100 grams

Or 5 Fluid Ounces = 100 grams

Or, 1/2 cup for approximately 80g.

1/2 cup is 75-80g.

Everyone wasn't kidding when they said it tastes like candy.

Ignorence is not bliss my friend, but If you believe all sugar is equal then by all means go on, or better yet do a google search.

read the key word...

"Dextrose

Dextrose is a form of glucose produced from cornstarch. It is commonly used in food production.
"

"White sugar

White sugar is known by many names, including sucrose, table sugar, cane sugar, beet sugar, grape sugar, refined sugar, or granulated sugar. It is derived from the juice of sugar cane and sugar beets. Once extracted, the sugar cane or sugar beet juice is processed extensively to produce a white, granulated substance. “Invert sugar,” a variation on sucrose, is used commercially because it is sweeter than equal amounts of sucrose.

there is a difference and difference how the body absorbs it too. Tell me when you put a 1/4 cup of sugar in a glass of iced tea and stir all the crystals sit at the bottom forever. try the same with dextrose. which do you think is absorbed by the body more rapidly??
