Glycemic Index of Sweeteners

🚫 Maltodextrin = 110 🚫 Maltose = 105

🚫 Dextrose = 100 🚫 Glucose = 100

Note* sugar only has a glycemic index of 80

What is Sucralose? most common product is "Splenda"

❌Sucralose is a chlorinated sucrose derivative, meaning it’s derived from sugar & contains chlorine.

❌Making sucralose is a multistep process that involves replacing the three hydrogen-oxygen groups of sugar with chlorine atoms. The replacement with chlorine atoms intensifies the sweetness of sucralose.

❌Originally, sucralose was found through the development of a new insecticide compound. It was never meant to be consumed. Splenda is the most common sucralose-based product on the market

❌Splenda is a synthetic sugar that isn’t recognized by the body. Splenda is used as a sugar substitute in cooking and baking, and it’s added to thousands of “zero calorie” food products sold throughout the United States.

❌The calorie content of Splenda is actually 3.36 calories per gram, which comes from the dextrose and maltodextrin.

❌Sucralose only makes up about 5 percent of Splenda. The other 95 percent contains a bulking agent called maltodextrin and dextrose
