kind of sugar, but which kind

Glucose, for example, in cellulose or amlylose. The
digestibility of fiber depends on the presence of enzymes
that can sever individual glucose molecules from the fiber
polymer. The beta-linked glucose molecules in cellulose
require an enzyme that fits the close-packing of the
molecules, and humans don't have that enzyme.Therefore, the
cellulose you eat passes in the feces, rather than becoming
available for energy production.

Glucose is the building block of cellulose. Apparently only
bacteria can break these polymers down into glucose.

The question was answered days ago. Why do you waste space
with your useless efforts? Stay in your killfile, okay?

I looked at Google, and you are right. You did supply an
answer a few days ago. My newsfeed has yet to show me
your message.

My answer contained information that yours didn't, and so
was more useful than your present effort. The question is
begged as to why you watch your precious little message for
anyone who might add to it. A bit pathetic, don't you think?

I don't have a killfile. I don't have a need, having the self-
control to not read what doesn't interest me.
