Gleukos (Read 465 times)

I've tried it. The taste was OK; not as sweet at your typical Gatorade. It doesn't contain HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) or sucrose, so it supposedly is absorbed faster and easier to metabolize. But I think most research has shown that it doesn't really matter what form of simple carbohydrates you consume: sucrose, fructose, glucose, or even HFCS, we absorb and use them as energy at very similar rates. The Gleukos website does show that their product is absorbed more rapidly but the difference seem pretty minor and I am always skeptical about "research" done by and for a company that has something to sell.
