Marshall, Loved reading this article, please explain what " no" means in the sentence "the result of heating it with no," Thanks Mary

In attempting to research what this chemical might be I found a number of people asking if anyone knew. Several replies from people who talked like they were chemists stated that sucrose does not combine directly with bicarbonate of soda. They really should have known better than to give this pat answer. Although the statement is true, it has nothing to do with the problem. Further research indicates that you must use maple syrup and not table sugar, and if you compare the result of heating it with no, it is obvious some type of reaction has taken place. This tells you that there are other compounds in the maple syrup that are taking place in the reaction. There are at least 54 known active compounds in maple syrup and probably hundreds. One of the most prominent group of compounds are the sulfates. They could be sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, calcium sulfate, sodium or potassium bisulfate and a number of other possibilities. In all likelihood there is a combination of these sulfates. As it turns out a sulfate will take part in a series of reactions which will produce a compound of sodium and sucrose, without using up the sulfate. This is basically a catalyst, although it does get involved in the reactions before becoming restored. Here is the sequence: sucrose is C12H22O11, bicarb of soda is NaHCO3, and for this example we will be using sodium bisulfate Na2SO4 although all the others should be able to take place in a similar series of reactions. C12H22O11 + NaHCO3 + NaHSO4 -> C12H23NaO15S + CO2 + NaOH C12H23NaO15S is a compound known as Sodium sucrose sulfate. A better presentation would actually be C12H23NaO11SO4 because in reality the SO4 is the sulfate radical, and although the sucrose part is held together by strong covalent bonds, the sulfate is attached with a weak ionic bond. This compound is known for its ability to grow hair back for male patten baldness. Now there is an excess of NaCO3 which is alkaline, and the sodium sucrose sulfate is acid, so naturally they will immediately react producing: C12H23NaO11SO4 + NaHCO3 - > C12H21NaO11 + NaHSO4 + H2O + CO2 Giving a sucrose with one hydrogen replaced with a sodium, water, and returning the original sodium hydrogen sulfate Alternatively it could react with the sodium hydroxide: C12H23NaO11SO4 + NaOH -> C12H21NaO11 + NaHSO4 + H2O once again returning the same three products but without the CO2 The sucrose with one or more hydrogens replaced with sodium is the interesting item. When it reaches the stomach it should hydrolyze just like sucrose, which produces glucose and fructose. But since one of the hydrogen atoms is replaced with a sodium atom, it would produce a sodium salt of glucose, sodium salt of fructose, or both if more than one hydrogen atom had been replaced with sodium. Now if a cancer takes up the sodium salt of glucose, sodium is released, immediately forming sodium hydroxide dropping the pH in the cell immediately to a level which kills the cell. Of course this makes one wonder, what happens if it is taken up by a normal cell. There are two possibilities, first it kills it, or second that the drop in pH does not injure the cell, since normal cells are not killed as easily by alkalinity as cancer cells. I suspect the second case is the correct one. Marshall -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
