depends on your weight I think. I use about 5 heaped tsp. but i've heard some people say that 50-60 gms is ideal.

I get my dextrose at the local chemist store. Its called Glucon-D (or something like that). If im not mistaken, dextrose is the same as glucose-monohydrate.

Diets high in protein stress the kidneys, because the kidneys have to get rid of the protein breakdown by-products, which can be very toxic if left to accumulate. How about this one. I've heard it pretty often.
