Is Sugar Killing Us?
- tcj_phx 10y agoStarch molecules are chains of the simple sugar glucose. There is no difference between the glucose molecule in flour and the glucose molecule in cane sugar. Calorie for calorie, flour (100% glucose) provokes twice the insulin release of table sugar (50/50 glucose/fructose).
