Natural & pure plant and fruit sugars
Fructose (fruit sugar) based sweeteners have a naturally low Glycemic Index (Low GI), which basically means when you eat it your blood sugar levels are raised far less than if you were to consume something containing table sugar (sucrose). This is of course great for diabetics and is also useful for people trying to lose weight. The sugar lows associated with sucrose are far less with foods containing fructose, so your general mood and appetite will remain on a more even keel. Further more, many of these natural sweeteners contain less calories than normal sugar, which is what we like to hear! (Nutritional information is available on each product). |
