Karyoplasma

Cobra was right. As a poikilothermic critter, a sweater is utterly useless to it.

I got the hunch that I’ve read something like that before. Maybe from you, maybe it’s a common occurrence. We need a scientific study on that topic.

A thoughtful gift to a mad and self-described evil scientist.

I have tried drugs, yes.

He is actually a really good dad throughout the show.

Did you say “no homo” before doing it? If you did, that’s just a brojob between alphas.

Snack pasta (farfalle are the best). No cooking, just open the package and munch the raw pasta. I like how crispy it is.

Sounds kinda nice, honestly.

There seems to be a confusion here:

Amylose is a polysaccharide and one of the two compounds that form starch (alongside amylopectin). What Oatly adds is amylase, one of the enzymes in our body that breaks down polysaccharides into absorbable sugars which means that their oat milk already contains higher amounts of reduced sugars due to that process which is shown in the study I’ve linked earlier.

I’ll read the full article later, but based on the abstract, it doesn’t sound promising. Maltose is readily absorbed being a simple sugar while amylose is a multi-sugar (and one of the components of starch) that has to be broken down first in the digestive tract, so I don’t think those are comparable.

Based on your ref, I’m not convinced that this is truly the case though.

What you are essentially saying here is that you don’t believe sugary drinks will spike your blood sugar level.

There is this study about different kinds of processing with alpha-amylase. The relevant data is in Figure 2, control (C in the figure) was just an oat-water slurry that was heated for some time, En is with the addition of amylase. The rest is about exploring different processing techniques.

It doesn’t compare starch-sugar ratio during digestion tho, not sure if there are any studies that do that. But higher initial maltose content means a higher spike.

Nice strawman you got going there, but I never said anything about calories. It’s about sugar.

Your uptake of sugar is not equal across all forms, but varies by the underlying sugar. The rate of uptake is measured with the glycemic index, the higher, the faster the uptake. Lactose has a GI of around 45, sucrose of 65 and maltose of 105. Maltose lets your blood sugar level spike significantly more than the others which leads to a more significant crash which induces hunger, irritability, fatigue, and overeating.

Coke is a lot more sugar-dense than milk (more than double the density) and coupled with the presence of a higher GI sugar, it’s more of a snack than a refreshing drink.

Additionally, the controlled enzymatic conversion by adding amylase breaks down a lot more of the oat starch than what would normally happen while eating and digesting, so my point still stands.

Swap use cases of rice and soy milk and it’s me.

Oatly adds amylase to convert oat starch into maltose. The result is that the sugar content is about that of Coca-Cola while they still write “unsweetened” or “no added sugar” on their sassy packaging because it’s technically true.

It’s good for a dash into your coffee, but I wouldn’t suggest it as a daily substitute due to the sugar content.

Der Versuch zählt.

Die Herkunft der Phrase ist ungeklärt. Eine Theorie stammt daher, dass Soldaten nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg hauptsächlich mit der Bahn nach Hause befördert wurden und ihre anstehende Abreise vom Bahnhof sie so abgelenkt hat, dass sie in Gesprächen nicht mehr richtig zugehört haben -> sie haben nur Bahnhof verstanden.

You need a distillery and a fair bit of knowledge what to do for that. Ethanol boils off faster than water, so if you just simmer it down, you get more wine flavor, but less alcohol (still enough to get you drunk, see christmas markets).

Ei, ei, ei, da war Land dabei.

Alan and Naomi by Myron Levoy

It’s a novel, but not a very long one.

there is also a searchable website for that: libraryofbabel.info
