Bragg All natural Liquid Aminos 32 oz (soy sauce alternative) $4.73 FS

You are wrong on two points: (1) Aminos do not "help in the breakdown and deliverance of proteins", they ARE the broken-down proteins themselves. Proteins are built by smaller components - the amino acids, there are ~20 different kinds of them which assemble like Lego blocks into polypeptide chains.

(2) Most digestable complex carbs (polysaccharides) do not take longer to digest than simpler sugars (sucrose, fructose, glucose and mix of those - honey, HFCS). Case in point - starches in potato, rice, wheat (bread/pasta/pizza), corn - see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyc...x_of_foods . The bigger GI (glycemic index) of food is, the faster it gets transformed to blood sugar. Minimizing high GI foods is important for type 2 diabetes people - but back to our case, if you look at GI tables, sucrose (GI 65) has lower GI than bread (75), rice (70), potato (78). What does that mean? It means that those starchy foods get broken down FASTER than pure sugar and cause bigger blood sugar spike than spooning honey.

You are right on the whole though, there is not enough aminos in Bragg's fake soy sauce (nor in the real one) - not compared to amount of proteins that can be had in real food. The mere amount of salt in the sauce will stop you from chugging gallons of it.
