|
|
The use of any Carbohydrate
source for diabetics is determined by what is
known as "Glycemic Index". Glycemic Index is a
numerical system of measuring how fast a
carbohydrate or sugar triggers a rise in
circulating blood sugar: the higher the number,
the
greater the blood sugar increase. A Low GI value
means that the food will have a low impact on
raising the blood sugar. Conversely, a high GI will
mean that the blood sugar levels are elevated.
Levulose is classified as being a
low GI product as it has Glycemic Index of
23,compared to Glucose with a GI of 100,and Table
Sugar(Sucrose) with a GI of 65. Thus, because of
extremely low GI, Levulose can be safely consumed
by diabetics. |

Is
Levulose/Fructose the same as high corn
syrup? |
|
|
Fructose is another name for
Levulose. High Fructose corn syrup contains
substantial percentage of sugar. However the
balance is fructose. Hence high Fructose corn
syrup will increase the blood sugar rapidly
because of its surcose content. Levulose, on the
other hand, does not contain sucrose or glucose
and thus will not increase blood glucose level
rapidly. |
