Hi all,

I need help from one of you Chinese speaking chemist types to
interpret a web page. I have found a website
(http://www.858tea.com/hp11-1.htm) that apparently details the process
of measuring the sugar content of puerh. The site list the methods
used etc. It also appears to detail scientific data regarding the
reduction of cholesterol by drinking puerh. There is also mention of
"monosaccharide oxidation under the microorganism function" that
leaves me confused. Could this be the magic "bacteria" that Michael
Plant has recently asked about or is it something else?

My translation software is far from perfect and I know that it screws
up the grammar pretty bad. Couple this with my lack of chemistry
knowledge and I wind up with more questions than answers. Could one of
you fine folks help me accurately translate the page?

BTW, this site is definitely aimed at very serious puerh aficionados.
It is by far one of the most informational sources I have found about
puerh. If you don't have your own translation software you can use
Alta Vista's Babel Fish at http://world.altavista.com/ to explore this
treasure. I highly recommend exploring the whole site, I have spent
many hours there recently!

Thanks,


Mike Petro
