Anhydroglocose

/ˌænhaɪˈdroʊˈɡluːkoʊs/ noun

Definition

A form of glucose with water molecules removed, created through a chemical dehydration process.

Etymology

From an- (without) + hydro (water) + glucose (a simple sugar). This technical carbohydrate term combines the Greek prefix for 'without water' with the Latin-derived word for the most common simple sugar.

Kelly Says

Anhydroglocose appears in your body during dehydration stress—your cells actually remove water from glucose as an emergency survival strategy, fundamentally changing how energy gets produced.
