Most carbohydrates are either a common sugar or a long chain of sugars linked together. The body's digestive system works to break the chains apart into simple sugars so the body can absorb them. Thus, most carbohydrates can turn into sugar.

Not inside the body, except for an extremely rare condition that has only been reported a couple of times. Sugar and water will ferment into alcohol if yeast is present, if the temperature is at "normal" levels.

The sugar combines with the alcohol and as sugar is rapidly absorbed by your body you get an alcohol rush as well as a sugar rush, therefore it gets you drink a hell of alot faster.

Do sugar alcohols contain alcohol?

Sugar alcohols do not contain ethanol (the stuff you drink). The simplest sugar alcohol, ethylene glycol, is the sweet but notoriously toxic chemical used in antifreeze. The higher sugar alcohols are for the most part nontoxic.


Is ethyl alcohol a sugar?

No; it is a hydrocarbon. The formula is C(2)H(6). Carbohydrates contain oxygen.


Is sugar is soluble in alcohol?

Yes, sugar is soluable in alcohol. I am assuming you mean drinking alcohol although it is soluable in all organic alcohols. The hyrdoxy (-OH) groups on both the sugar and the alcohol allow for hydrogen bonding, making sugar very soluable in alcohol. Hydrogen bonds are also the reason sugar is so soluable in water.


What alcohols contain sugar?

All alcohols contain sugar because alcohol itself is a refined type of sugar, that's why it has so many calories.


What are kinds of alcohols?

There are three types of alcohols, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol and methyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is the type that is consumed.


Does sugar alcohol make you have to poop?

Sugar alcohols can have a laxative effect, so one should watch how much they consume. See Related Links.


Does alcohol have sugar in it?

Chemically speaking, alcohol (ethanol) and sugar (sucrose, etc) are different substances. Alcohol itself contains no sugar, carbs or fat. Alcoholic beverages often contain sugars--check the labeling on them for carbohydrate content.


Are alcohols aromatic or aliphatic?

Alcohols may be Aliphatic as Ethyl alcohol or Aromatic as Benzyl alcohol.


Can you distill alcohol for chemistry?

Alcohols can be distilled.


Products in which Sugar alcohols are most often used?

sugar alcohols are popular in sugar-free gums and mints. They are less sweet than sucrose.


Does Ice cubes gum have pork in it?

Yes it Does. it has Sugar Alcohol.A sugar alcohol (also known as a polyol,[1] polyhydric alcohol, polyalcohol, or glycitol) is a hydrogenated form of carbohydrate, whose carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group (hence the alcohol). Sugar alcohols have the general formula H(HCHO)n+1H, whereas sugars have H(HCHO)nHCO. In commercial foodstuffs sugar alcohols are commonly used in place of table sugar (sucrose), often in combination with high intensity artificial sweeteners to counter the low sweetness. Of these, xylitol is perhaps the most popular due to its similarity to sucrose in visual appearance and sweetness. Sugar alcohols do not contribute to tooth decay.[2][3]However, consumption of sugar alcohols does affect blood sugar levels. Sugar alcohols may also cause bloating and diarrhea when consumed in excessive amounts.[4]Some common sugar alcohols:Methanol (1-carbon)Glycol (2-carbon)Glycerol (3-carbon)Erythritol (4-carbon)Threitol (4-carbon)Arabitol (5-carbon)Xylitol (5-carbon)Ribitol (5-carbon)Mannitol (6-carbon)Sorbitol (6-carbon)Galactitol (6-carbon)Iditol (6-carbon)Inositol (6-carbon; a cyclic sugar alcohol)Volemitol (7-carbon)Isomalt (12-carbon)Maltitol (12-carbon)Lactitol (12-carbon)PolyglycitolBoth disaccharides and monosaccharides can form sugar alcohols; however, sugar alcohols derived from disaccharides (e.g. maltitol and lactitol) are not entirely hydrogenated because only one aldehyde group is available for reduction.The simplest sugar alcohols, ethylene glycol and methanol, are sweet but notoriously toxic chemicals used in antifreeze. The more complex sugar alcohols are for the most part nontoxic.


Does sugar alcohol affect the scram bracelet?

no, sugar alcohols are naturally occurring sweeteners. while i was on the scram i had the same question and found out that it doesnt do anything to set it off(i was eating a protein bar and freaked out)
