How do you figure? It's practically pure sucrose, just like table sugar.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoTable sugar has a glycemic index of 65. Maple sugar's is 54. Not a huge difference but if sweeteners are important to you, maybe every bit counts.
- phonypc 5y agoThe same reasoning would imply pure fructose is a better option. Or that eating a potato is worse.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoDepending on quantities, you are correct. Glycemic index and quantity tell you how the food affects your blood sugar levels. Whether or not you’re diabetic, keeping blood sugar levels low is important to health.
