I never go on a thread and comment that these people are mistaken where the discussion includes dinosaurs and humans being cohabitant at some point in our supposed 5000 year history. Why you guys just don’t show the same respect to people who believe differently is beyond me. Shows a definitive lack of class commenting.

Well, are Mars bars harmful to Americans? If not, why don’t we have them?

Who ever heard of a Meteor bar?

“Wonder what the mathematical probabilities of that are?”

Oh, don’t worry about that. If the probability is too small, they’ll just say the universe must be a few billion years older than they thought.

It’s easy to win the evolutionary lottery if you can give yourself an unlimited number of tickets!

Sounds like the Olestra “fat free fat” debacle.

The answer is obvious. All the amino acids and sugars come from the Leftorium!

It is a disaccharide formed from one molecule each of the simple sugars (monosaccharides) fructose and galactose. Lactulose is not normally present in raw milk, but is a product of heat processes:[23] the greater the heat, the greater amount of this substance (from 3.5 mg/l in low-temperature pasteurized milk to 744 mg/l in in-container sterilized milk).[24] It is produced commercially by isomerization of lactose.


So nope. This stuff sounds gentile. L-Glucose is not gentile.

Lactulose is not absorbed in the small intestine nor broken down by human enzymes, thus stays in the digestive bolus through most of its course, causing retention of water through osmosis leading to softer, easier-to-pass stool. It has a secondary laxative effect in the colon, where it is fermented by the gut flora, producing metabolites which have osmotic powers and peristalsis-stimulating effects (such as acetate), but also methane associated with flatulence.

Lactulose is metabolized in the colon by bacterial flora to short-chain fatty acids, including lactic acid and acetic acid. These partially dissociate, acidifying the colonic contents (increasing the H+ concentration in the gut).[16] This favors the formation of the nonabsorbable NH+
4 from NH3, trapping NH3 in the colon and effectively reducing plasma NH3 concentrations. Lactulose is therefore effective in treating hepatic encephalopathy.[25][needs update] Specifically, it is effective as secondary prevention of hepatic encephalopathy in people with cirrhosis.[26] Moreover, research showed improved cognitive functions and health-related quality of life in people with cirrhosis with minimal hepatic encephalopathy treated with lactulose.[27]


It is digestible by gut flora. L-Glucose is not. Sounds more like the sugar found in “Fartichokes” (Jerusalem Artichokes) which we cant digest but gut flora can. That sugar is in “Pro-Biotics” and feed your gut bacteria.

It’s an open forum, and you know there are plenty of people here who have differing opinions on the subject. What do you expect?

You can go post the articles on some subreddit where nobody will disagree with you. Or maybe you can do like the Catholics do on the Religious Forum and make a [Caucus] tag so nobody with a different viewpoint can post, or they’ll feel the wrath of the mods.

I don’t really see the appeal of that, but I guess you could try it.

‘I never go on a thread and comment that these people are mistaken where the discussion includes dinosaurs and humans being cohabitant at some point in our supposed 5000 year history.’

well, a dinosaur fossil was discovered near a mountain in Turkey, and a piece of wood was also discovered somewhere in the basic area, so, Noah...

‘Why you guys just don’t show the same respect to people who believe differently is beyond me’

organized hierarchic entities,(governments, schools and churches) have not gotten their chops through being tolerant of opposing notions; people can’t accrue influence and power by permitting unfettered apostasies to circulate...

‘It’s easy to win the evolutionary lottery if you can give yourself an unlimited number of tickets!’

it’s even easier to win that lottery if you buy just one ticket, and reject all the others as bogus right from the start...

Your post reminded me of the reviews for Harbo sugar-free gummy bears on Amazon.

Probably Sorbitol. That is some nasty stuff too. Not quite as violent in its exit as L-Glucose, but still bad.

Looked it up. Contains Maltitol Syrup... Gut bacteria munch on it, so no... more gentile.

right/left handed sugars occur naturally at about 60/40 ratio. If you remove one type from a sample the remaining type reverts to the same previous ratio.
Only in proteins, DNA and such is it only righthanded.

I don’ t wish to insult one’s intelligence, but even given the “inestimable numbers of meteorites”, life, with its right-from-the start ability to survive, subsist and reproduce is a bit of a stretch, don’t ya think?

Math one of your strong suits?

Think “Creator”.

Yeah, okie dokie, so did they retrieve the object in space where it would be uncontaminated from stuff on earth? Yeah, nope. So, how long has it been hanging around a planet full of life with things that like nooks and crannies? But, this IS science.

Hence my comment about left handed sugars. They don’t occur naturally on earth.
