Customer Ratings & Reviews

Dextrose Corn Sugar 5 5 1 1
The best sweetener You know how they always say that white bread or a baked potato has a higher glycemic index than table sugar? It is true, but that misses the point. Since we are so efficient at turning starch in to glucose, using glucose as a sweetener is about the same as adding starch. If you have good blood sugar control, then extra glucose is easy to handle. The real problem in sugar is the fructose. People aren't built to handle more fructose than would be in a stomach full of fruit, and that would be with all that fiber, too. Fructose has a low glycemic index, but that is just focused on the short term. Excess fructose causes insulin resistance, which is the real problem. Agave syrup is a really bad idea since it is pure fructose. Of course, if you already have blood sugar issues, then all sugars, as well as starch, are a bad idea. If you use it in baking, it does brown faster, so you need to adjust the recipe. December 17, 2010
