I'm not sure but I think the pre and post workout nutrition thread sticky might mention this stuff in there. Goes into a little more detail than the how to bulk.

Dextrose, for all intents and purposes, is the same as glucose. It is the natural from of glucose...D-Glucose. The reason people use grape juice or some other juices is they are high in glucose relative to fructose. But glucose in general is the monosaccharide plants make. Just keep in mind that when people say glucose in terms of pre and post they are talking about dextrose.

The dextrose you buy in powder form is made from corn. A half and half mixture of malto and dex like you have planned is best...so that's all you need to know about glucose. If you want to know the reasons and ideas it's all in there.

Grape juice is popular because it has a lot of dextrose. Basically, if I remember correctly, it's 16% sugars. 8% dextrose and 8% fructose...no sucrose. Sucrose is made of fructose and glucose so that makes grape juice pretty dextrose (glucose) heavy when you look at the shear amount of carbs and the percentages compared to other fruits. But all fruits contain mixtures and not just fructose.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
