[cdownie927]

does anybody know what type of sugar is table sugar say like domino, because i didnt get any dextrose yet and was wondering if this was the closeist thing to it

 

[macrophage69alpha]

sucrose
a disaccharide
essentially 1/2 dextrose 1/2 fructose

So what is the closest thing i can use in place of dextrose because I still have to get some.

And were can i purchase it I heard you can get it at rite aid or something like that it called glucose is this true. And is all that sugar really good for you all at once (teeth etc.) and 1 gram would yeld 1 carb correct.

I thought honey was mostly fuctose and that doesnt give a high insulin spike

Table sugar is sucrose like macrophage69alpha said.
I just got 25 L of invert syrup from work(chem lab) to brew some beer, but anyway...
If sucrose is inverted (hydrolised) you get half glucose(dextrose) and half fructose(levulose).
Glucose enters the blood stream within 15 minutes, Fructose takes up to 4 hrs.
So for insulin spike, glucose is the one to go for (or avoid).
