All by myself, too, and I didn't even need any help with the big, big words. Next week I'm going to learn my numbers and all, all, all my colors.
Geez, Syl. Patronizing much?
I sat down and I worked through your post line by line and explained where and why I disagreed with you based on what was in the Skoog-Bharucha 2004 literature review. It was fun to do but I realized it was pretty pointless. You're going to continue to draw the conclusions you want. I'm going to continue to believe the data isn't there for those conclusions.
In the extremely unlikely event that anyone else out there is interested in figuring out what Skoog and Bharucha actually say, you can read the paper for yourself right here. (Clicking on this link loads a PDF to your computer with no questions asked.) It's less than 4 pages long excluding references. The second section is entitled "Principles of Sugar Absorption" and that's somewhat technical but the rest of the paper is pretty readable. The introductory paragraph before the body of the paper is just plain English.
