Very Personal Question

[PaulaCa34]

Please note I am not trying to be humurous, but I have an odd questions. Does semen contain carbohydrates? It meay seem like an strange thing to ask, but this is real life and I dont want it to harm induction. I mean it obviously on the "approved foods" list, LOL I guess I do need to find some humor in it. Any help is appricicated.
Thanks,
Paula

An actual nutritional label can't really be duplicated for this substance, since there is no officially recommended daily allowance, and the recipe varies considerably from individual to individual. You might say that the exact chemical and nutritional composition depends upon the
manufacturer.

"Composition of Semen According to Sandor Gardos, Ph.D, the former About Sexuality Guide, it contains very modest quantities of the following substances...

ascorbic acid, blood-group antigens, calcium, chlorine, cholesterol, choline, citric acid, creatine, deoxyribonucleic acid, fructose, glutathione, hyaluronidase, inositol, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, purine, pyrimidine, pyruvic acid, sodium, sorbitol, spermidine, spermine, urea, uric acid, vitamin B12, and zinc."
"Seminal fluid... is composed of dozens of chemical components. The base of seminal fluid is primarily fructose (sugar) and proteins, with many other trace minerals and substances. Here's a listing of some of semen's ingredients:

Sugars: Fructose, sorbitol, inositol
Proteins and amino acids: glutathione, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), creatine
Minerals: Phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, calcium, potassium
Vitamins: Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), vitamin B12, choline
Hormones: Testosterone, prostaglandins
Body byproducts: Lactic acid, urea, uric acid, nitrogen...

Semen is a source of highly concentrated, high-quality protein. In dietary terms, it's comparable to egg whites or gelatin. Besides protein, semen contains high concentrations of some minerals, such as zinc, and trace amounts of other important nutrients, like calcium and
magnesium."

Ohmygod. The shop I get mine from has a whooooooooole lot of carbs every day, I wonder if that means it's higher carb. Damnit. I wonder what would happen if I asked the shop to get it tested to find out exact quantities/grams... I wonder if this would adversely affect my relationship. :P

Ohhh, sugars huh???
Guess I will have to inform the manufacturer that it's on the "no" list!!! ROFLMAO!

Something tells me this post is going to be "bumped" up again and again!!! Haha! Thanks for the lesson, dotsam! BTW....how did you come across all of this highly informative information?? My hubby said he's gonna go on Atikin's if I start quoting carb counts!! Shoot! There goes that! ;-)

[PaulaCa34]

Well, I will tell you this, if you "are" what you eat then my manufacturer is loaded with carbs. Maybe this is a suref ire way to get him to join me on the diet!
