Crystalline Fructose is sugar made from corn that has a low glycemic
index
and therefore does not cause a dramatic rise
in blood sugar that table sugar (sucrose) does. Crystalline fructose is
absorbed slowly in the body and causes a lower
rise in blood sugar. Other sugars such as refined, organic or cane
syrup
can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar causing
"insulin spikes" in people with diabetes. Using fructose also helps you
decrease calorie intake, since it is twice as
sweet as table sugar, but has the same caloric density. Homsweet Pure

fortified sweetener ideal for daily consumption and can be used in
baking and

Homsweet Crystalline Fructose with Fructo-Oligosaccharide.
Fructose does little to spike your blood sugar levels, rather, it is
processed by the liver and stored as glycogen
there until you run very, very low on blood and muscle glycogen
stores. When this happens, the liver begins
trickling its stored glucose into the bloodstream to keep blood
sugar levels stable. Homsweet Crystalline
Fructose With Fructo-oligosaccharide is added with
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS),
which are natural components of plants and
which plays an important role in the human digestive tract health. When
oligosaccharides are consumed, the undigested
portion serves as food for "friendly" bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria
and Lactobacillus species. Clinical studies
have shown that FOS, also known as prebiotics, can help increase the
number
of these friendly bacteria in the colon while
simultaneously reducing the population of harmful bacteria. The human
body
also depends on beneficial bacteria to
manufacture B vitamins as well as produce lactase and other
anti-bacterial
substances.
