I like your explanation much better.
Whoa...I'm being accosted by two august members of academia!!
Hey guys I concede you two are far more knowledgeable in this topic than simple little me
I haven't done the research, I just listen/read from people that have and many are saying that lactate and lactic acid are not the same in this specific context.
I'm not debating you two, but maybe you can explain to me why George Brooks, PhD in this video says it's a misnomer to call lactate lactic acid. He says this at about the 17:30-minute point in the video.
