Precautions for eating maltose
Maltose is one of many sugars, which can raise blood sugar quickly. Zang Youzhi pointed out, "During the festival, people's intake of sugar, salt and oil is much higher than usual. If there is too much maltose, our blood sugar will rise and fall like a roller coaster, which is very unfavorable for blood sugar control."
Another risk is that some so-called high-end health gifts that do not contain sucrose often have maltose in the ingredients list of these "sugar-free foods". The increase of blood sugar is closely related to glucose. Sucrose structure is composed of one fructose and one glucose, while maltose is composed of two glucose, so the speed and peak value of maltose increasing blood sugar will be higher.
The fluctuation of blood sugar is not only related to diabetics, but also has an adverse effect on healthy people, which promotes the formation of diabetes.
