Why is fructose used?
Fructose as an ingredient or a 'sugar' replacement in your coffee or tea is normally consumed by diabetic sufferers. This is because it has a lower glycaemic index than sucros…e (regular sugar). This means that when fructose is consumed the body takes longer to metabolise it into, its main energy source, glucose. So therefore, the glucose formed from fructose is absorbed into the blood stream much slower than what would be seen for sucrose. This is due to the different formations and shapes of the fructose and sucrose. So a more complex shape (fructose) would take longer to breakdown into the shape of glucose and the simpler shape (sucrose) would breakdown faster to glucose. (MORE)
