That was the main ingredient! Why do you think they called it “Spurt?”
Not here. It conflicted with the Diazepam and caused psychotic breaks resulting in the inability to style your hair in any way that didn’t make you look like Don King or Patti LaBelle.
Good for one free Wash 'n Brew? I understand the Caramel Macchiato treatment makes your hair feel like sex.
Fructose is not a component of table sugar. Table sugar is a disacharide whose two monosacharides are glucose and glucose (yup, two of the same). Fructose is an isomer of glucose: they have the exact same composition but the atoms are organized differently.
Our body has enzimes that can turn fructose (sort of “useless” for us except as a source of glucose) into glucose; their energetic value is the same, but having to go through the isomerization process means that fructose is a “slower” sugar than glucose… it takes longer to go from the stomach to wherever the energy is needed, be it working cells or storage. The process can also happen at much-slower speeds in pH-extreme environments.
Huh. I freely admit you know more about this stuff than I do, but I thought table sugar was glucose and fructose. Wikipedia and Alton Brown, whose show on fudge-making I watched last night, seem to agree.
And what am I missing here? The main sudsy/cleansing ingredient in these shampoos is still sodium lauryl sulfate, the same main ingredient in every shampoo from $0.99 White Rain to $5.99 Pantene to these $28 shampoos.
I was wrong about the table sugar, but not about fructose and glucose being both hexasacarides… unless Spanish fructosa and English fructose are different animals, which could be.
Actually, here, wiki has a drawing. Count the Cs: the picture has a 5-ring but one vertice is the O; there are two hanging Cs. Total, 6 Cs. The ring structure of glucose and fructose is different - but that doesn’t make them not isomers!
Isomers: two compounds which have the same elemental composition (in this case, C[sub]6[/sub]H[sub]12[/sub]O[sub]6[/sub]), but with the atoms organized differently.
