[Sca-cooks] Brown rice syrup?

[Terry Decker]

According to the statement it is a sucrose substitute, not a sucralose 
substitute, so I wouldn't go replacing Splenda just yet.  Brown rice syrup 
contains maltose, which hydrolyzes to glucose, and glucose.  It will trigger 
an insulin reaction.  I would say that it is primarily meant for 
non-diabetics who like it sweet but want to reduce their sugar intake.
