Fruit SugarFruit sugar (aka Fructose) has a really low glycemic index of around 22. It is lower than most carbohydrates and has the same GI rating as foods such as lentils and cashews.We recommend this sugar for endurance activities where you need a lasting source of energy or where you want to limit your carbohydrate intake. We do not recommend it for endurance rides completed at near Lactate Threshold or where you are burning over 600 calories/hour unless you are trying to lose weight. Fructose is the sweetest sugar, and is also found in honey. Try buying packets of fructose instead of the normal sucrose sugar. It's so sweet you only need to use about a third of what you normally use, meaning less calories for you. |
