    Whoa settle down there

    Sucrose is 1:1 glucose/ fructose which is near the optimal 0.8 ratio for fueling endurance activities

    I rode 100 miles solo in less than 5 hours Sunday on 360g sucrose in 4 750ml bottles

    It’sa lot cheaper than all that fancy SIS/skratch etc

    Carbs aren’t poison if you move your body

      Yeah I consume near 400g carbs every day and am fine as a competitive powerlifter who also runs (which is rare lol). You just can’t be sitting on your ass all day.

        The issue is how much hidden sugar there is, especially in the US. Just look at how many things include stuff like corn syrup when it isn’t all that necessary.
