Mannose

But when you take in a concentrated syrup of mostly fructose, that does have the potential to do strange stuff.

Mannose, the other C6H12O6, is a chemical our bodies make out of glucose to do some stuff with enzymes and proteins.

We make what we need when we need it, so don't worry about getting enough or anything.

I brought those different forms of the same collection of atoms to show you that carbohydrates are everywhere and come in approximately a zillion forms.

But before we go, I want to leave you with one final thought to mull over as you continue researching this.

We spent a lot of time talking about how D-Mannose acts as a decoy.

for those Fim-H adhesins on E. coli.

But bacteria are famously adaptable.

And I actually spoke to the cl- doctor at the emergency clinic because I was about to go on a trip, and I needed to make sure that I would be okay.

I did other things to help me, D-Mannose and water And it did the trick, and I'm fine, and it worked.

And I actually spoke to the doctor, and she was a good one.

She was a real one.
