Alcohol in dry wine and other products is made from grain, but none of the

starch is left. The yeast used in making wine, as well as enzymes in the grains,

when mashed and left to heat and time, change the starch and sugars into

alcohol. Since alcohol is only a short two-carbon structure (as compared to

starch and disaccharides-see diagrams of many sugars each with 6 carbons X the

number of sugars in the chain)(Page 3 in BTVC) alcohol can be absorbed very

quickly through the stomach or upper small intestine, and we need not worry

about any of these calories getting down to where bacteria waiting for something

to eat and make babies. However, if starch and sugars DO get down to the lower

gut and are fermented by bacteria and yeast into alcohol or short chain fatty

acids, then we have problems.

But as long as it is absorbed up high AND NOT TOO MUCH we are OK on SCDT.

An excellent and legal vanilla extract is Frontier, The one that contains

Glycerin is easy to pour in small drops.
