Fructose causes a slower rise of blood sugar, but regarding body fatness it is as critical as Saccharose, since it affects the body'S carbohydrate metabolsim for the negative, and gets transformed into fat even faster than Saccharose. Also, a significant part of the population cannot absorb fructose, or only insufficently, so that it gets accumulated in the intestine where it increases/feeds germ growth, which then has negative conseqeunces for the functionality and sensitivity of the immune-system.
Therefore, Fructose is demanded to be banned from public selling, activists even want it to be no longer classified as a type of food. The wide-spread belief that it is the "better sugar" and serves nice as a sugar-surrogate for diabetics, is wrong. Maybe that is becasue many people mix the meaning of fructose, glucose, sucrose wildly and do not really know the different meanings (I struggle myself, too).
Isoglucose is familiar to socalled invert sugar, that is saccharose that got split into glucose and fructose.
It'S running around words, even if there are differences: that does not make it any less damaging to health. I wish it would, but it doesn't.
Lesson learned: have soft drinks rarely only. I have maybe one bottle of Coca Cola Zero (sweetener) per month, maybe even less. But when I have, I enjoy it.
