As I understand it, sucrose will trigger insulin production and will produce
a feeling of satiation, both of which fructose isn't supposed to do. The
calorie count is about the same. I didn't get into the difference because
we've flogged that horse a time or two previously and cane juice and cane
sugar are sucrose.
