Re: Inositol & celluloseFrom: Jolene (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 05 Jun 2000 11:49:22 -0400
If inositol has sugar, it's not the cellulose. While it is a carb, I expect that it would not be negatively influencing your body because it is indigestable by humans. Some low-carb plans talk about subtracting the grams of fiber from the grams of total carbs because your body doesn't do anything metabolically with the fiber. Jolene in Toledo
>>> AEHerring@aol.com 6/3/00 3:05:04 PM >>> Alexis, Here is the definition I found from askjeeves.com. cellulose a complex carbohydrate, or polysaccharide, consisting of 3,000 or more glucose units. The basic structural component of plant cell walls, cellulose comprises about 33 percent of all vegetable matter (90 percent of cotton and 50 percent of wood are cellulose) and is the most abundant of all naturally occurring organic compounds. Nondigestible by man, cellulose is a food for herbivorous animals (e.g., cows, horses) because they retain it long enough for digestion by microorganisms present in the alimentary tract; protozoans in the gut of insects such as termites also digest cellulose. Of great economic importance, cellulose is processed to produce papers and fibres and is chemically modified to yield substances used in the manufacture of such items as plastics, photographic films, and rayon. Other cellulose derivatives are used as adhesives, explosives, thickening agents for foods, and in moisture-proof coatings. Looks to me as though it does have sugar. Obviousely it is a carbohydrate. I had a dr tell me on Thursday that he thought inositol had sugar in it. (looks like he was right) I am going to ask my RE about this when I go see her in a couple of weeks. Take care Annetta
