Do we know that it doesnt have an effect on gut-biome though?

  There would be none: "..but cannot be used by living organisms as a source of energy because it cannot be phosphorylated by hexokinase, the first enzyme in the glycolysis pathway. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-Glucose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-Glucose EDIT: Ok, yeah, sorry. I'm sure some bacteria out there could do something with it and make you have an upset stomach. But it's not very likely.

    That means it has no nutrition, not no effect. For example: > l-Glucose was also found to be a laxative

    Nature laughs at "not very likely".. We gotta get used to this as a species.
