A thoughtful gift to a mad and self-described evil scientist.

He is actually a really good dad throughout the show.

There seems to be a confusion here:

Amylose is a polysaccharide and one of the two compounds that form starch (alongside amylopectin). What Oatly adds is amylase, one of the enzymes in our body that breaks down polysaccharides into absorbable sugars which means that their oat milk already contains higher amounts of reduced sugars due to that process which is shown in the study I’ve linked earlier.

I’ll read the full article later, but based on the abstract, it doesn’t sound promising. Maltose is readily absorbed being a simple sugar while amylose is a multi-sugar (and one of the components of starch) that has to be broken down first in the digestive tract, so I don’t think those are comparable.

Based on your ref, I’m not convinced that this is truly the case though.

What you are essentially saying here is that you don’t believe sugary drinks will spike your blood sugar level.

There is this study about different kinds of processing with alpha-amylase. The relevant data is in Figure 2, control (C in the figure) was just an oat-water slurry that was heated for some time, En is with the addition of amylase. The rest is about exploring different processing techniques.

It doesn’t compare starch-sugar ratio during digestion tho, not sure if there are any studies that do that. But higher initial maltose content means a higher spike.

Nice strawman you got going there, but I never said anything about calories. It’s about sugar.

Your uptake of sugar is not equal across all forms, but varies by the underlying sugar. The rate of uptake is measured with the glycemic index, the higher, the faster the uptake. Lactose has a GI of around 45, sucrose of 65 and maltose of 105. Maltose lets your blood sugar level spike significantly more than the others which leads to a more significant crash which induces hunger, irritability, fatigue, and overeating.

Coke is a lot more sugar-dense than milk (more than double the density) and coupled with the presence of a higher GI sugar, it’s more of a snack than a refreshing drink.

Additionally, the controlled enzymatic conversion by adding amylase breaks down a lot more of the oat starch than what would normally happen while eating and digesting, so my point still stands.

Swap use cases of rice and soy milk and it’s me.

Oatly adds amylase to convert oat starch into maltose. The result is that the sugar content is about that of Coca-Cola while they still write “unsweetened” or “no added sugar” on their sassy packaging because it’s technically true.

It’s good for a dash into your coffee, but I wouldn’t suggest it as a daily substitute due to the sugar content.

It’s huge in Mexico as well, they had public viewing of new DBSuper episodes (Toei Animations tried to cease and desist them but got told to stfu).

Police reports regularly showed a significant decrease in cartel activity around the times new DB episodes dropped.

Some days are better than others, but generally, yeah, nothing. Happiness is not for losers like me.

If I could turn back time.

Banana Fairy Island?

It’s PR speak for “We promised our shareholders layoffs for more profit”.

The Russian spy penguins all run their own homebrew OS developed by Putin himself.

Human tastes like pork, so that’s what they taste like.

I should try that when dating to see how long it takes for a court order to arrive.

I sometimes open the official YouTube app and set it to autoplay and mute while doing dishes, so they can be happy that I watched their fucking ads.

I fear that at some point the feds will knock to make sure I’m not distracted while an ad plays.

Yes, 1 star.

I regarded it as a potential evidence for my unfounded and highly debateable hypothesis that the dialect we speak in the region is not in fact a dialect, but its own language.

I’m a German native who studied linguistics (ok, computational linguistics with a minor in phonetics and phonology), but I basically only speak my regional dialect well. I was visiting a friend in Berlin once and a stranger in a bar complimented me that I “speak good German for a foreigner”.
