      Hi, Denis! Recently you wrote in a message to All:              DM> What, if east sugar every day?        |What if I eat sugar every day?        |"east" = a map or compass direction. "East or west, home is best."              DM> Not much, but 100 gramms.        |grams [esp. US] or grammes [esp. UK]                      That's 1/2 cup, or four ounces by volume, or about 125 ml. It may       not seem like much... but here's what my NUTRITION ALMANAC says:                      Sugar        Beet or cane, granulated               1 c.        200 g        770 calories        [if you want that in gigajoules or something you're on your own ;-)]        protein 0 g        fat 0 g        carbohydrate 199.0 g        calcium 10 mg        magnesium 1.0 mg        phosphorus 2.0 mg        potassium 6.0 mg                      IOW, table sugar consists almost entirely of refined carbohydrate.       While I don't claim to be an expert in nutrition I use it very sparingly. :-)                                   --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+        * Origin: Wits' End, Vancouver CANADA (1:153/716)    |
