More Evidence that Refined Carbohydrates, not Fats, Threaten the Heart
A few months ago, I thought that sugar was glucose, and therefore good for the brain.  On that basis I would drink two liters of Coke a day for the brainpower.  Then, while on this forum, someone posted a link to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM</a> (Sugar, the Bitter Truth), which let me know that sugar is not pure glucose.<p>I resolved to find glucose, and I eventually did.  I had to go to one of the more industrial neighborhoods in Santiago (I live in Chile) to find it, and after a few trips there I had myself a 55 lb sack of dextrose mono-hydrate, which dissolves in water to form pure glucose.<p>Now I mix it with water for 250 calories of food for thought per glass or put it in half-liter plastic bottles to drink at school.  It's amazing stuff, it's 100% healthy, and it's great for working at hard problems.
