Alginose is not a sugar substitute.

Alginose is a natural sugar that can be extracted from nature, such as shrimp, bread, beans, mushrooms, and seaweed. Alginate has the ability to prevent starch from aging, prevent protein from denaturing, and keep the tissues of vegetables, fruits, and meats stable and fresh, and the sweetness of alginate is 45 percent that of sucrose.

Precautions for alginate

Alginate will be broken down into glucose by intestinal enzymes and then absorbed, similar to the pattern of absorption of other double carbohydrates by the intestinal tract. 2017 Japanese research pointed out that the intake of alginate, compared with the intake of glucose in equal quantities, the intake of glucose after the rise in blood glucose is lower, insulin secretion is lower, but in fact, it is still the same, but it is still the same. less, but in fact alginate is still a high glycemic index (high GI) food.

That is to say, for the human body to consume food that rises faster in blood glucose, diabetics must still be careful to control the amount of food consumed, rather than consuming it to the fullest extent, and it cannot be used as a substitute for sugar for diabetics.
