Product Description
Natural Foods - Sweeteners:Also known as fruit sugar, fructose is roughly 50% sweeter than ordinary sugar, tastes wonderful, and does not raise blood sugar levels like table sugar. When taken in moderation, fructose can be taken by diabetics after first consulting with their physician. How do I substitute Fructose for table sugar in recipes? Fructose is derived from corn and is approximately 1.8 times sweeter than regular table sugar. Unfortunately we cannot supply an exact equivalency for substituting Fructose for table sugar. Experimentation will yield the best results, keeping in mind how much sweeter Fructose is. In general, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, a little over a 1/2 of a cup should be close. Sweeten to taste is the best advice! Fructose also provides the additional benefit of supplying fewer calories than table sugar.* |

A little goes a long way by David B. Eck (North Carolina, USA)  5 Stars
July 08, 2008
Years ago, I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia. At the time, this was a trendy condition and a lot of people received the same diagnosis. I don't know if this still applies, but I try to find products sweetened with fruit juice or fructose. Fructose doesn't lead to blood sugar swings like sucrose.
I don't use that much sugar in any event and generally only use it only in iced-tea. Since fructose is a bit sweeter than "regular" sugar, you can use less. There's a very slight difference in taste, but you barely notice. The price is really, really good. Highly recommended!

sweeter than sugar by Gashreamer (N.Y) 5 Stars
June 29, 2008
Fructose doesn't leave a sour taste in my mouth. It tastes better than sucrose. I don't believe I've ever gotten a "sugar rush" from it.
You still shouldn't use too much of it. It's a highly refined concentrated product and a supernormal stimulus.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.

| Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (Vintage)
by Gary Taubes (Author)
For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number. In this groundbreaking book, award-winning science writer...
