Indeed. I also called cane sugar a complex sugar, which should have been a disaccharide. Complex sugars are actually starches.

Marshall, is that a typo?  did you mean "converted to glucose"?

    to spread stevia out in many supposedly "stevia" products.  I

        my body like those "substitute" sugars
        it does best with just plain old sugar
        or maple syrup or honey

        no idea which one they used
        but i had to throw the rest of the box out
        i do good with all the other emergen-c's just not this one.
        i do them when i come out of the fir sauna to replenish the
        minerals lost from
        sweating

            One thing to be aware of is that not all stevia is the
            same.  Many
            of the products called stevia actually are full of other
            fillers
            that are pretty nasty to most people with sensitive health
            issues.
              ANY white powdered stevia, including those that are
            "pure" stevia,
              has been highly chemically processed, and is NOT a
            pancreatic tonic,
              or any other kind of tonic.  It has no health benefits
            except for
            eliminating the calories of sugar.    It does not moderate
            blood
            sugar, it does not effect the pancreas.  It does tend to
            increase
            insulin just as sugar does - just the sweet taste on the
            taste buds
            sets that reaction off.  BUT "real" stevia, the whole leaf or
            powdered green/brown hard to dissolve stevia - this is
            used as a
            pancreatic tonic, doesn't have the same insulin boost, as
            the whole
            herb mediates the oversweet sensation, and does moderate blood
            glucose levels.  In South America it is used as a primary
            treatment
            for diabetes.   But, of course, things do work differently for
            different people.  Just my two cents.  Sara

                Interesting - it didn't suit my DH either - it is
                meant to be a
                pancreatic tonic - maybe that's why it doesn't suit
                everyone?

                    just a fyi
                    stevia totally stops my body from detoxing
                    turns it off like a lightswitch
                    and drops my blood sugar
                    one of those things that yeah everyone else can eat
                    but not me!!!
