If dextrose is just a different name for glucose, a monosaccharide, then why is dextrose illegal? Peace =)Alyssa 15 yoUC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)No meds!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Elaine was not confused about dextrose. This is from the illegal/legal list: " The problem with the dextrose and fructose which is being sold as a granulated form as well as the dextrose contained in commercial products is that it is not pure dextrose which should be the same as the single sugar glucose found in fruits and honey " The small amount of dextrose in table salt was considered less hazardous than the possibility of goiter from lack of iodine, which was a problem before iodine was added to table salt. Other forms of salt do not contain iodine.
