Question from CLHallet
I was wondering if refined white sucrose from sugar beets or sugar cane is bad for use why is the refined white crystals of fructose and Xylitol not present the same issues?
Debra’s Answer
Actually, they do, but each in a different way.
Fructose crystals are highly refined corn syrup. I don’t recommend them. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohols are not sugar in the same way that refined cane or beet sugar is sugar. So a sugar alcohol crystal is a completely different thing.
