the first thing that came out after taking glucose is lactate so there's an enteric glycolysis that takes place and this is the way the body participates in distributing carbohydrate energy to make lactate so that's so this just changes our mind completely but sorry George did we not know before this that when you consume gluc lactate goes up we know that and nobody would understand why it's part of the lactate shuttle I presented this uh in our most recent studies at last year at the American Diabetes Association there was a doct there from NIH and he said well we feed carbohydrate we get 2 Millar lactate so must a deal that's that's the way the body is working in sports we would say it's hiding the ball in baseball we hide the ball in football we try to hide the ball here are the bodies Trying to minimize the glucose load but still deliver carbohydrate energy and it starts with the interos sites and they got so there are plenty of studies where people would incubate inyes under air give glucose immediately you have lactate and just give me a sense of scale right so when you give uh somebody an oral glucose tolerance test this is 75 gram of glucose I'm assuming yeah okay so plasma glucose in these subjects will easily double right it'll easily go from 75 uh milligrams per deciliter to 150 milligrams per deciliter correct yeah and lactate might double maybe go from 6 to 1 2 Millo correct correct
