(which i decidedly don't like. LOL) >>>>>Wow, this never occurred to me before, but if you think of sugars, their sweetness is proportional to the quickness with which they'll yield energy. For example, honey is considerably sweeter than maple syrup or sucrose, and it contains all monosacharides rather than disacharides. ----->so pure glucose should be the sweetist thing on the planet? ever taste it? and MCT oil which i think heidi mentioned has a much higher percent of MCTs than CO, would be considerably sweeter than coconut oil/cream/milk? anyone know how sweet it is in it's pure form (if it's available in that form without additives)? >>>That would explain why butter is mildly sweet, despite being essentiall carb-free, and coconut milk/cream is *very* sweet, despite being the same! ------->is that why it's called " sweet " cream butter?
