Rare Sugars vs. Regular Sugar: Which is Better for Glucose Control?

https://www.news-medical.net/health/Rare-Sugars-vs-Regular-Sugar-Which-is-Better-for-Glucose-Control.aspx Rare sugars may offer a smarter way to sweeten foods, but their real promise depends on dose, sugar type, and stronger long-term human evidence. The rising prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes throughout the world is largely attributed to the excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and added sugars. Common sugars such as sucrose, fructose, and high-fructose corn syrup have been specifically implicated in adverse cardiometabolic outcomes. In response to this growing public health burden, researchers and food manufacturers are increasingly exploring alternative sweeteners, such as rare sugars, that may offer similar sweetness with a lower metabolic burden.3
