"It was observed that very high oxidation rates were reached with combinations of glucose + fructose, maltodextrin + fructose, and glucose + sucrose + fructose. The highest rates were observed with a mixture of glucose and fructose ingested at a rate of 2.4 g/min. With this feeding regimen, exogenous CHO oxidation peaked at 1.75 g/min (see Fig. 1)! This is 75% higher than what was previously thought to be the absolute maximum. The increased oxidation of ingested carbohydrate has been suggested to be beneficial, but concrete evidence for this has not yet been published." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"As a fellow former sugar junkie (believe me, I feel your pain), I'm very sorry to say this means NOT EATING the following versions or anything with these versions or varieties of sugar in any of your food: brown sugar, fructose, sucrose, glucose, maltose, succinate, molasses, date sugar, beet sugar, grape sugar, cane sugar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, corn sugar, fruit juice concentrate, sorbitol, barley malt, caramel, carob syrup, maltodextrin, dextran, dextrose, sorghum syrup." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.) "The following are various versions of refined sugar: cane sugar, dried cane syrup, brown sugar, beet sugar, date sugar, grape sugar, glucose, sucrose, maltose, maltodextrin, dextran, dextrose, sorbitol, corn syrup, fructose, high-fructose corn syrup, corn sugar, fruit juice, fruit juice concentrate, barley malt, caramel, carob syrup, and sorghum syrup. Look at your breakfast cereals, white breads, salad dressing, pasta sauces, yogurts, granola and health bars, canned fruits, and so on. Sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate, found in most packaged meat products and deli meats." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"The labels on these foods may show five different ingredients, such as maltodextrin, raisin juice or fructose. These all sound healthy, don't they? They are all sugars. Your taste buds and body will recognize them as sugars even though the label may say "sugar-free." Read the labels carefully. The new labeling requirements demand that the manufacturer show both the "carbohydrate" and the "sugar" content. However, how the manufacturer defines the sugar may differ somewhat from what we would call a sugar." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.) "If a manufacturer uses a trisaccharide (a sugar with three parts in it), it does not have to be called a sugar since legally it is a starch. maltodextrin falls into this category, and you will respond to it as if it were a sugar. Other sugar-free products use aspartame (NutraSweet) as a sweetener. Aspartame is made from phenylalanine, which is an amino acid. High doses of any single amino acid can throw off the balance of aminos in your brain and body." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"In addition, Xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, and maltodextrin are sugars, although they are not well absorbed. Raw sugar is simply dirty white sugar, and brown sugar is white sugar that has been colored with a little molasses—don't be fooled by their more natural look. Many brands of salt also contain small amounts of sugar. So do the most popular sugar substitutes, such as Sweet 'N' Low, Equal, and Splenda. All three contain dextrose, and Equal and Splenda also contain maltodextrin. Soft drinks and many brands of juice often contain high-fructose corn syrup." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Covert sugars are the sweet things hidden in foods, like high-fructose corn syrup, malt barley, maltodextrin, concentrated pear juice, white grape juice and raisin paste. Fruit is a covert sugar. Most people are not aware of covert sugars until they start reading labels. If you have not made a conscious choice to eliminate sugars from your diet, you are probably eating covert sugars. We will talk about covert sugars in depth in Chapter 9. 8. I eat foods made with refined white flour. These foods include white bread, refined-flour breads, white rice, French bread, bagels, pastry and pasta. 9." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"Additional killer ingredients in processed foods are sucrose, fructose, maltose, dextrose, polydextrose, corn syrup, molasses, sorbitol, maltodextrin, high fructose corn syrup, margarine, BHA, BHT, sulfates, sulfites, dyes and colorings." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Take note that products listing any of the following ingredients really do contain sugar: corn sweetener, dextrin, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice concentrates, glucose, high-fructose corn syrup, lactose, malt, maltodextrin, maltose, mannitol, sorbitol, sorghum, sucrose, and xylitol. Although all of these are sugars, fructose does stand apart from the rest. Of all the sugars, fructose causes the least severe insulin reaction.26 Drugs and Alcohol Avoiding drugs and alcohol is especially important for those with sleep apnea." - Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac., Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Sleep Disorders: 7 Smart Ways to Help You Get a Good Night's Rest (Get the book.)

"To combat these problems, manufacturers have switched to maltodextrin, which is absorbed more slowly. If you are on an unrestricted diet while in the hospital, you should avoid sugars and eat complex carbohydrates, such as whole-grain rice and breads, and sweet potatoes. Good luck trying to find these in your hospital! I find it humorous that hospitals today, in an effort to pretend to care about nutrition, have hired dietitians to monitor the food that patients are eating." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"All three contain dextrose, and Equal and Splenda also contain maltodextrin. Soft drinks and many brands of juice often contain high-fructose corn syrup. Cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, and other juices in natural food stores are often sweetened with grape or apple juice. Although technically more natural, sugar calories are still sugar calories without any other nutritional value. Honey has the advantage of being so sweet that it's difficult to consume much of it. Still, if you are prediabetic or overweight, it's best to avoid honey as well." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Food & Mood, believes that drinking plenty of water can be an effective way *Please note that both maltodextrin and sugar alcohols or polyols are not technically sugars. The former is derived from the corn wet-refining process and metabolized rapidly in the body. See sugar alcohols question below for more information. to halt sugar cravings. "Often, a desire for sweets in the evening is actually a signal that you need fluids," she says. If water isn't satisfying enough, nutritionist Shari Lieberman, Ph.D., C.N.S., F.A.C.N., suggests making your own fruit water. " - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.) "The little yellow packets also contain dextrose, a simple form of sugar, and maltodextrin, a digestible carbohydrate derived from chemically modified cornstarch. IS SUCRALOSE (SPLENDA) SAFE FOR ME TO USE? Some medical experts are quite skeptical of the no-calorie sweetener's safety despite the fact that it took 20 years and more than 100 studies to get FDA approval before it went on the market in the United States in 1998. One of the biggest concerns is that Splenda contains the man-made, chemically created chlorine." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.)

"SGLT1) becoming saturated. Once these transporters are saturated, feeding more of that carbohydrate will not result in greater absorption and increased oxidation rates. Intestinal perfusion studies have suggested that the ingestion of carbohydrates that use different transporters might increase total carbohydrate absorption [48] (Fig. 1). In dual tracer studies, the oxidation of glucose and fructose mixtures during exercise was investigated. In the first study, subjects ingested a drink containing glucose and fructose. Glucose was ingested at a rate of 1.2 g/min and fructose at a rate of 0." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"I don't want all the non-essential ingredients like: maltodextrin, silicon dioxide, magnesium state, titanium dioxide. It is not available anywhere without them. These are commonly used to make supplements, and I have looked at all of the studies, and am I sure of the essential reason for them being there. My research indicates that Serrapeptase is destroyed by stomach acid and therefore needs to be enterically coated. Do you have research that shows otherwise? No, I recommend enteric-coated tablets and enteric-coated granules in capsules for the best delivery. I have osteo-arthritis." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.)

"That means ditching sugar, donuts, cakes, confectionery, sodas, fruit juices, flavored milks, biscuits, crackers, crisps, French fries, and all packaged products containing corn syrup, sucrose, fructose, dextrose (glucose), maltose, maltodextrin (glucose polymers), fruit juice concentrate, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, date sugar, cane sugar, corn sugar, beet sugar, succanat and lactose. All of these foods provide an abundance of calories and quickly absorbed carbohydrates that send blood sugar levels soaring, but provide little in the way of protective micronutrients." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"SUCANAT sucrose sugarcane turbinado sugar unrefined sugar white sugar I classify sugars as overt if they are obviously sugars and covert if they are hidden. Let's take a look at the sugar content of some of the foods you might be eating regularly, which I classify as overt sugar foods. I have calculated the "impact" value for each of these overt sugars by determining the density of the sugars and fiber in proportion to the total carbohydrate and then factoring in the portion size. The higher the impact number, the more intense the sugar hit." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"The first ingredient of this drink was maltodextrin, a cheap sugar derivative made from corn and, as I found out, the precipitator of my hay fever-like symptoms. Many people have a food sensitivity but don't know it. "Not feeling quite up to par" is often how they describe the way they feel. They rule out diet as being the culprit since it has remained constant?unchanged—for a number of years. Some people blame environmental factors such as dust or pollen." - Brendan Brazier, The Thrive Diet: The Whole Food Way to Lose Weight, Reduce Stress, and Stay Healthy for Life (Get the book.)

"If you stroll down your local supermarket isle, select a trolley full of items from the enormous array of colorfully-packaged processed foods, and carefully examine their labels, you will find almost universally that a significant portion of their calories will be derived from one or more of the following ingredients: • Cereal flour (usually refined wheat flour) • Sugar—most commonly corn syrup, but also sucrose, fructose, maltodextrin, dextrose (glucose), brown rice syrup, maple syrup, date sugar, cane sugar, corn sugar, beet sugar, etc, etc." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"They consist of particles of a carrier substance such as lactose or maltodextrin that have been coated with a dry herbal extract. The quality of these products is variable. The filler content ranges from 50 % to 92 %, so the actual content of herbal extract is only 8-50 %. Sucrose is the vehicle used in most instant teas, and the product may contain up to 97 % sugar - a fact that should be noted by diabetics." - volker schulz and Rudolf Hansel, Rational Phytotherapy: A Reference Guide for Physicians and Pharmacists (Get the book.)

"If tea is given to infants between 10 days and 6 months of age, it should contain no more than 4 % carbohydrates, preferably in the form of maltodextrin. Teas for infants over 4 months old who have started teething should not contain carbohydrates. There is no objection to using protein as a vehicle in this age group. Vehicles in the form of hydrolyzed proteins (e. g., from collagen) have a molecular weight less than 5000 D in about 70 % of cases, in the range of 5000-10,000 D in 23 %, and 10,000-20,000 D in 8 %. The glycine content must be less than 25 %." - volker schulz and Rudolf Hansel, Rational Phytotherapy: A Reference Guide for Physicians and Pharmacists (Get the book.)

"Subjects underwent an intensive weight-lifting workout and then immediately consumed a protein supplement blended with sugar, maltodextrin, or honey as the carbohydrate source. The honey group maintained optimal blood sugar levels throughout the two hours following the workout. In addition, muscle recuperation and glycogen restoration (carbohydrates stored in muscle) was favorable in those individuals consuming the honey-protein combination." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"Maltodextrin is sometimes added to the lower-priced stevia products, but maltodextrin and maltose are the two carbohydrates that have the highest glycemic index of all: 150. It is a better idea to pay a little more for the pure stevia.
