Sweetness
Best GI option for diabetic guests who ask — low GI is genuine, not marketing. Use ~25% less than sugar to match sweetness.
Lowest GI of any common bar sweetener. However, 70-90% fructose — fructose bypasses normal blood sugar response but is processed entirely by the liver, which can increase triglycerides with chronic overconsumption. Not a free pass for diabetics despite the low GI. Mild neutral flavor. FDA-approved food ingredient.
