its fine mate. Some people will winge and disagree with me, saying its too much fat, blah blah blah, but if i have a shake before bed, i have it in milk and add a tablespoon or so of extra virgin oil, as it slows down absorption even further!

glucose is sugar. but it gets into the bloodstream quicker than ordinary sugar.

you need it to a) replace muscle glycogen lost through heavy training and b) to cause and insulin spike to drive the nutrients (protein, glutamine, creatine etc) into the muscles.

Glucose is a simple carb, like dextrose, lactose, fructose, maltose, sucrose.
See how they all end?

Simple carbohydrates are those that contain only one or two saccharides. These include sucrose, which is table sugar (made of one molecule of glucose and one of fructose) and lactose, the sugar found in milk (made up of glucose and galactose). Simple carbohydrates end in the suffix ose, a tip-off that the substance is a sugar. A simple carb that contains one sugar is known as a monosaccharide (saccharide is another name for sugar). Monosaccharides include glucose and fructose, the sugar in fruits. If the carbohydrate contains two sugar units, it is known as a disaccharide. In general, the simpler the sugar, the more sweet it is. Fructose, the sugar found in fruit and honey, is the sweetest.

it's also energy for the brain!...well, that's what it says on a bottle of Lucozade anyway.

On the side of the box of glucose (from Holland n Barrett) it says:

'In sickness and convalescence glucose is a valuable source of nourishment, particularly where there is a loss of appetite and listless ness in children."

hmmmm...
