How are people getting 100g+ carbs in a bottle?

Absolutely. Happy to clarify.

100g sucrose = 292 mOsmol/L

50g fructose = 277.5 mOsmol/L

50g maltodextrin with average strand length of 10 (1801g/mol) = 36mOsmol/L

36 (malto) + 277 (fruc) = 313.5 mOsmol/L

Also this paper shows super high exogenous oxidation rates using 1:1 ratio.
