Where can I buy CD jewel cases?
in Hardware ·
Not sure if this is the right spot for this, but does anyone know where I can pick up those CD/DVD sleeves? Ideally looking for the paper kind.

Angela Long52 said:I think you might have overlooked one somewhat significant fact; when you add sugar to elderberry juice, you're adding sucrose, which, being a carbohydrate, takes about 4 to 6 hours to break down in the stomach. Now, I agree that sugar isn't exactly the pinnacle of health, but it's certainly much better than the high-fructose corn syrup used in sodas. That kind of glucose syrup gets absorbed relatively quickly into the bloodstream, causing the body to release huge amounts of insulin to manage the spike. It even pulls calcium from your bones to help neutralize the sudden acidity. If you repeat this several times a day, well, that's a recipe for diabetes. So, I suppose moderation is key! 👍 👍
Can anyone—maybe someone who actually knows what they're talking about—back this up? Every time I look online, all I find are people claiming there's no difference at all...

So, I ran the numbers to figure out the exact ratio I use for a drink that actually tastes right to me.
I mix at a 1:9 ratio—basically, 30ml of syrup for every 3dl of soda.
My recipe is 5kg of sugar dissolved in 6L of water, which works out to 833g per liter.
That means there’s 8.33g of sugar in every 10ml of syrup.
Once you mix that with water, you end up with 8.33g of sugar per 100ml.
Even if you go with that 1:4 ratio someone mentioned earlier, you're only looking at 17g of sugar per 100ml. That’s nowhere near the "ten times more sugar" claims being thrown around...
Bottom line: even with a heavy recipe like 1kg of sugar per 1L of water, this stuff doesn't have more sugar than a Coca-Cola. In my case, it actually has less.
