Re: Glycemic index of gels--should I care? [Nick B]
isn't the GU Maltodextrin? I have never tried fructose before, I ordered a little to see how I like it. The brown rice syrup was kind of sweet and nauseating. What's glucose, something you can just buy in bulk?

So I read further and find this:

Sucrose (Sugar) is half glucose and half fructose joined together, but these components are split as part of digestion. The word 'sugar' can be used to mean any type of sugar, but in general use it refers to Sucrose. Sometimes manufacturers try to conceal sugar in the ingredients by referring to it as 'evaporated cane juice'

So why not just use plain old sugar?
