Can people with diabetes eat moon cakes containing invert syrup and maltitol?
Maltose that can't be eaten is most easily converted into glucose, which is more easily absorbed than white sugar. Faced with a wide variety of sugar-free foods on the market, diabetics are dazzled. Does sugar-free food have sugar? Can hypoglycemic food reduce blood sugar? Experts believe that sugar-free food refers to sweet food without sugar, that is, sucrose (cane sugar and beet sugar) and starch sugar (glucose, maltose and fructose), but sugar-free food must contain sugar substitutes with sugar properties, such as sugar alcohols (including xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, mannitol, etc.), rather than sweet food produced with high-magnification sweeteners such as saccharin. At present, the sugar substitutes that have been approved to be included in the hygienic standard in China are maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol and lactitol.
