Direct democracy. Direct democracy (also known as pure democracy) is a form of democracy in which people decide (e.g. vote on, form consensus on) policy initiatives directly. This differs from the majority of most currently established democracies, which are representative democracies.
Sugars that can be oxidised by mild oxidising agents are called reducing sugars because the oxidising agent is reduced in the reaction. A non-reducing sugar is not oxidised by mild oxidising agents. All common monosaccharides are reducing sugars. The disaccharides maltose and lactose are reducing sugars. The disaccharide sucrose is a non-reducing sugar. Common oxidising agents used to test for the presence of a reducing sugar are: Benedict's Solution.
Lactose (milk sugar) is a carbohydrate that is formed by combining galactose and glucose monomers. It would provide more short-term energy than long-term energy, because it has disaccharides, but not the fats contained in whole milk.
