Question on Dextrose......

[Slaiv]

... sooo..... Dextrose is just basically simple sugar (simple carb) used to spike your insulin PWO so that the nutrients are rushed to your muscles faster thus causing muscle synthesis/repair/restoration/ etc... etc...

but my question is..... eating 50-60g of sugar everyday for PWO.... wont you maybe... umm... i dont know... risk getting diabetes?!?!?!

i mean.... your playing with you body obviously, spiking insulin levels to get more muscle, there has to be a side effect to that, just like that water/sodium manipulation. Do that to get a nice ripped look, but wow, the high blood pressure and hypertension after effects sure isnt worth all that!!

so am i right? can you risk getting diabetes from eating 60g of Dextrose everyday?

"normal" people eat 5x that much simple sugar on a daily basis....candy bars, soda,

I don't see why 60gr is a great concern...just mho....

60g of carbs is nothing... one bowl of macronni and cheese or a plate of spaghetti can have anywhere from 40-100 carbs in it

You wont get type II diabetes from 60g of carbs in one meal

My PWO shake has 100g of dex

[Consistency]

a 20oz bottle of coke has 63g of sugar in it

heck even a 32 oz bottle of gatorade has 57g of sugar in it

It's about as much sugar as a can of regular soda. Or two bananas.

Yeah agreed, you get practically that much in simple sugars from a glass of OJ.

Dextrose is the Ley term for D-glucose, which is the most biologically active form. The idea behind taking dextrose or any other simple sugar PWO is to cause a spike in insulin quickly. Insulin causes an anabolic state at its target cells. This include fatty acid synthesis, amino acid mobilization, and of course increased sugar intake into the cell.
