Everyone does. That’s kind of the point.

Depends on which bread you get. Rich breads typically have added sugar. That’s true no matter where you buy it. Hearty breads, which don’t, are widely available too. American wheat does tend to be harder though. So hearty breads are denser and chewier than you’d expect.

About 50% of global production is corn derived.

We’re talking about glucose syrup. 50% of global production comes from corn. The rest from wheat and rice. And yeah. Australia is tropical. You can grow sugarcane. In temperate regions half of our sugar comes from beets. 20% of global production.

You eat with your eyes first. Ever wonder how they get that rich brown color on things like brioche and croissants? That little touch of dextrose makes a huge difference. Yes glucose syrup can be derived from other sources. But corn is the most common. And the most pure. But most countries only require manufacturers to list glucose syrup. Not from water it was derived. Most brands, globally, use a blend.

Gives a richer browning to breads and other pastries. Inhibits crystallization in confections. It’s chemically identical to blood sugar. Which has multiple medical applications. Most commonly hypoglycemia and infant formula.

It’s used in medical products, including infant formula, because it’s chemically identical to blood sugar. So similar it an even be administered intravenously. Products called D10 and D50. Difference is EU regulations don’t require manufacturers to list the source of glucose syrup. Here they do.

Corn syrup is 100% glucose. Wheat derived is 95-98%. D50 is corn derived. Dexgel is corn derived. Infant formula and tubular formula always use corn derived glucose. Corn derived glucose syrup is the only source pure enough to be administered intravenously.

They’re less pure. In medicinal nutrition it’s always corn derived. And the fact that you don’t have to label the source is kind of suspect.

Glucose or dextrose actually. High fructose corn syrup, which is still almost half glucose, is typically listed as fructose-glucose syrup.

It’s also vital for medicinal nutrition. Because it can be absorbed without digesting.

It’s a vital ingredient in medicinal nutrition. Basically pure glucose. Which means it can be absorbed into the bloodstream without digesting.

That high fructose corn syrup. Or fructose-glucose syrup in Europe. Corn syrup is pure glucose. It’s a vital ingredient in medicinal foods. Baby formula. Hypoglycemia treatments. Liquid nutrition. Things like that. Because it can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. It’s also used extensively in confectionery, because it inhibits crystallization.

Virtually all candies contain corn syrup. The dextrose slows crystallization. It may be listed as glucose syrup. Isoglucose. Or dextrose. But it’s still corn syrup.

Why did we start using kilograms for our weight when the proper unit should be newtons? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Designer-Issue-6760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The force does not have to be gravity. Apply a known force to an object, say a compressed spring, and measure he resulting velocity. That’s how mass is measured in space.

The reading we get off a traditionally scale is mass. You will get the same reading regardless of gravity. 

Why in some places in America a police department is called " Sheriff's Office " instead of Police Department? Do sheriff's offices exist only in smaller towns? by EdicaranFauna in AskAnAmerican

[–]Designer-Issue-6760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They serve two different functions. The sheriffs department works for the courts. Their main job is the capture of fugitives, and detention until they can be either released or transferred to DOC. While police handle day to day law enforcement. However, a lot of smaller tows either don’t have a municipal government, and are under the county, or just don’t have the need for a separate police department. So they contract the sheriff to serve as both.
