| Question: | What ef fect does brown rice syrup have on blood sugar? |
| Answer: | Brown rice syrup is roughly 50 per cent soluble complex carbohydrates, 45 per cent maltose and 3 per cent glucose. The glucose is absorbed into the blood- stream immediately, the maltose takes up to one and a half hours to be digested, and the complex carbohydrates take from two to three hours, providing a steady supply of energy. This means it has a much less marked effect on your blood sugar than eating other sweeteners, including sugar and honey. |
