Guest guest Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Someone offered: " Actually it was a healthy recipe for diabetics. It did have carbs of course, I don't think you are going to make a bake able cookie without them, the apple juice was natural sugar and it digest differently and the wheat flour is better for us then white but it is also ok to have low sugar things. A lot of no sugar recipes has way more carbs then if you had the sugar. The new thing to do is go with low sugar in the recipes but they still substitute fruit juice and honey, and etc. The big thing is you aren't making up a batch of cookies to sit and eat anyways. You can have one. Freeze them and thaw the out if you are by yourself. " Me: Table sugar ismade up of the natural sugars half each of glucose and fructose. That is the same as the sugars found in fruits and honey each of which has half of glucose and fructose also. Table sugar is the natural sugar removed from the sugar cane or sugar beet plants. All these sugar sources are handled exactly the same by the body. Using juice or honey for a sweetner only means the marketing department of a company can say sugar free meaning table sugar. I agree with you about moderation. What that means for each person is the result in blood glucose tested after eating this or any food. If the level exceeds your post meal goal then it is not in moderation. Either reduce or toss the food. XB IC|XC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
