What ingredient replaces the sugar/fructose?
1664560
My guess would be the mannitol and sorbitol listed on the label. They are sugar alcohols.

Agave is lower glycemic, but it's still a form of sugar, and if you're diabetic or sensitive to sugar this isn't a good choice. the label "sugar free" isn't accurate. some products will say "refined sugar free", which is more accurate.

I have no idea what ingredient replaces sugar/fructose. The taste of DGL is not, for me, the deciding factor. It decidedly helps with acid reflux.

This IS NOT "fructose-fee/sugarless." My purchase in January 2014 lists: Other Ingredients Organic AGAVE SYRUP [emphasis added ], mannitol, sorbitol, natural flavors (coconut and milk), cocoa bean powder, silicon dioxide, rice starch, organic gum acacia, and maltodextrin." Agave syrup is, in fact, a high-fructose (sugar) syrup. See my 1-star review for details. Ed

I don't know. Don't have any around at the moment and never look at sugar. Sometimes look at salt and fat but not a big reader of ingredients.

I use white sugar but I guess you could use raw sugar. 1C sugar to 4C water, and boil for five minutes. The boiling is important to rid of bacteria.

It is probably about the same, here is a great way to think about it and then you can think about the fruits or where the primary fruit or starch was derived and whether or not that is organic or GMO. Good Luck! Glucose = from carbs. Fructose = from fruits, honey, agave, and high fructose corn syrup. Dextrose = usually produced commercially then added to food to sweeten it. Sucrose = white table sugar, produced from the sugar cane plant (& other sources).

it's synthetic, although better than high fructose or table sugar, it is still synthetic

Yes, you can substitute it. Look at the Pamona's instructions for the amount of fruit you are using and then you can figure out how much pectin and calcium water to use. For example, if you have 8 cups of fruit, you need four teaspoons of pectin, can use whatever amount of sugar you want to use, and you would also need four teaspoons of calcium water. There is a note in the instructions about how much sugar you need to mix with the pectin. If you are using a lot of sugar, you may mix the pectin with some of it first , then add the rest.

Yes, you surely can! You will need special recipes, though. Recipes in "The Spunky Coconut" come to mind right offhand, but there are surely others. You will need recipes that don't depend upon the caramelization capacity of sugar to make them succeed, so you can't substitute successfully in all recipes.

Sugar is the second ingredient after coconut, so I am going to say it's not naturally present. :)

I'm not sure where you are seeing sugar listed as an ingredient. Mine does not contain sugar. The only ingredient is cacao powder.

I'm looking at a bottle right now. No sugar. The ingredients are: water, organic soybeans, salt, organic alcohol (to preserve freshness).

I believe it is Splenda... I don't find it really sweet enough, so I will sometimes add a Tbspn of sugar-free vanilla syrup!

I agree. Have since found other products that have no added sugars. No longer use agave products due to higher fructose levels.

I assume you are referring to the calcium tablets? If so there is no sugar listed in the ingredients. I hope this helps

I imagine the fructose is in several of the natural ingredients. It was not an additional additive, but contained something like say the cranberries, therefore, it had to be listed.

I have the Banana Orange Frutein and fructose is first ingredient but no other sugar substitutes
