Direct democracy. Direct democracy (also known as pure democracy) is a form of democracy in which people decide (e.g. vote on, form consensus on) policy initiatives directly. This differs from the majority of most currently established democracies, which are representative democracies.
Sugars that can be oxidised by mild oxidising agents are called reducing sugars because the oxidising agent is reduced in the reaction. A non-reducing sugar is not oxidised by mild oxidising agents. All common monosaccharides are reducing sugars. The disaccharides maltose and lactose are reducing sugars. The disaccharide sucrose is a non-reducing sugar. Common oxidising agents used to test for the presence of a reducing sugar are: Benedict's Solution.
Makers of lactose-free milk add lactase to milk, which converts 70 to 100 percent of the lactose to glucose and galactose, two sugars that are easier to digest. Effects on Children. Giving lactose-free milk to children means that they will not have lactose present in their stomachs. Lactose stimulates the body to make lactase, and without lactose in their diets, children could lose the ability to make lactase. Economic Effects. There is an economic component to choosing lactose-free milk.
