If D-Glucose is Dextrose, wouldn't L-Glucose be Levose? Giltramirez (talk) 17:15, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If the L and D forms are diastereoisomers then they cannot be mirror images of one another. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.90.176.249 (talk) 03:49, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

why was my edit changed back....the article is flat out wrong.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.90.176.249 (talk) 02:41, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

D-glucose is organic, L-glucose is NOT organic! ...this information on the page is so wrong; i'd bet my life on it. the molecular configurations are completely different, just look at the chemical diagrams; one is cylindacular, and the other is linear--that is, one is man made and the other can be found in nature. One place D-glucose can be found is in the root of potatoes--it is what allows the roots to breathe (take in oxygen); it's a starch--which is a natural carbohydrate (composed of sugar organisms, AKA: glucose) that allows your body to matabolize using RNA enzymes.D-glucose can also be found in wheat. L-glucose is so bad for you because its molecular structure is like a magnet to the fibers of organ flesh, so it can cause blockage in your heart if you eat too much. But before it is attracted to bind to your organ flesh, it behaves consistent with the behaviors of shards of glass would (if animals could digest glass, that is)--L-glucose shreds away at the fibers it passes through, then it begins to bind to those fibers--as your organs begin to lose skin mass, it is attracted to whatever passes through it, so that it doesnt make a hole in your valves, creating a hole. so, your body uses the sugar to bind a sort of bandaid where skin has beed shredded so that it doesnt make a hole. but, if the bandaid gets too thick, it can cause blockage. and since this bandaid is not like rebuilding your hearts flesh--its artificial--it is not as strong. although it takes a few years for this sugar to wear a tear in a heart valve, the younger you start eating these artificial sugars, the earlier your heart starts to harden (because the shredding starts and then the binding ensues).

But of course L-Glucose is organic: It contains carbon atoms, doesn't it? Rodeng (talk) 07:54, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The discrepancy in the drawings of D and L-glucose is not the linear or cyclicalness of the molecules; both are rings. It is in the positioning of the methylene group, which also has a hydroxy group attached. I5-X600K (talk) 15:57, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Synthesis[edit]

Hey this would be great for diabetics if only we could mass produce it. Maybe GMO plants? After all H2O CO2 and all the micronutrients they need aren’t chiral. 76.19.121.43 (talk) 12:13, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Light polarization[edit]

Does L-glucose rotate light polarization to the left? If yes, this should be filled in article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.72.195.62 (talk) 10:59, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
