****************************************** [EXCERPT] So, you have two good reasons NOT to eat any form of sugar: a) excess calories; b) nutrients depletion. Now, fructose, in a sense is better than all the other sugars, the reason being it has a low glycemic index, which means it does not play havoc with your insulin/glucagon production, as the other sugars do. So, from the point of view of insulin resistance, fructose is better. From the point of view of nutrition, it is the same. There is another little factor in favor of fructose: since is it 1.5 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), you would take less to have the same effect, so you tend to end up with a little less empty calories. ******************************************** Hi Folks. In my experience, this low glycemic index is correct only sometimes. As with most other issues on health, I have come to the conclusion that THE RESULT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON. I remember reading that some studies showed that even NO-CALORIE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS trigger the body's insulin production. The obvious harm of ingesting artificial chemicals aside, this does not bode well for diabetics. The body learns a great deal by association, and even though a food might read well on a glycemic index table, what happens in an individual person's brain is quite another story. When I had diabetes many years ago, I did much better with some "high glycemic" foods such as carrots and rice. I couldn't eat fruit at all.
