Why are you eating nerds?

I've been eating nerds after my workout and most people don't understand why or look at me like I'm crazy. Yes, I'm talking about the Wonka candy that we all grew up eating. The science behind why I'm eating nerds after my workout is due to the first ingredient found in Wonka candies. Much like other candies that use corn syrup as their main sugar ingredient Wonka uses dextrose. Dextrose is a very fast acting sugar (quickly converted to glucose). It spikes your insulin which increases protein sythesis and refuels your carbs depleted.
