Why Fructose Sugar Is Better Than White Sugar!

Almost all foods contain natural fructose sugar
Of all the questions we answer on a daily basis, the one we hear most often is, "Why does Fructevia contain fructose?" Simply put, most of the foods you consume were not designed for your optimal benefit, such as being alert and focused, while feeling full with the fewest calories possible. By contrast, Fructevia has been scientifically designed with a detailed knowledge of nutritional biochemistry and metabolism to provide the best possible nutrition for attaining specific human goals.

The nutritional specifications are rationally planned for your benefit, using information at the molecular level about how the human body uses nutrients to accomplish tasks. If you have a sweet tooth, you'll appreciate that almost all of our foods contain fructose, a natural fruit sugar that burns slowly in your body to provide long-lasting energy, unlike ordinary table sugar. You'd rather just eat an orange? When you consider that the sugar content of an orange is only about 30% fructose, along with 50% sucrose (ordinary table sugar) and 20% glucose (grape sugar), it's clear that this combination makes for a good natural antifreeze for the orange, but it's a poor carbohydrate system when you desire long- lasting energy and carbohydrate hunger control.

White sugar and the glycemic index
Ordinary table sugar (cane or beet sugar, sucrose) and grape sugar (glucose) are absorbed from your digestive tract relatively quickly, causing your pancreas to release a lot of insulin, the natural hormone required to metabolize the sudden big surge in your blood sugar levels. The average amount that your blood sugar rises after you eat a given amount of a particular carbohydrate is called that carbohydrate's glycemic index.

Fructose sugar and the glycemic index
The natural fruit sugar fructose has one of the lowest glycemic indexes of any food - with a rating of only 20, compared to 31 for skim milk, 59 for sucrose (ordinary table sugar), and 98 for an equal weight of mashed potatoes. This means that 1 ounce of fructose raises your blood sugar only about 1/3 as much as an ounce of sucrose, and it releases only about 1/3 as much insulin. And a mashed potato raises your blood sugar almost 5 times higher than a comparable amount of fructose! High glycemic index carbohydrates can cause major problems for your body's fat control program.
