Crystalline Fructose is sugar made from corn that has a low glycemic index and therefore does not cause a dramatic rise in blood sugar that table sugar (sucrose) does. Crystalline fructose is absorbed slowly in the body and causes a lower rise in blood sugar. Other sugars such as refined, organic or cane syrup can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar causing "insulin spikes" in people with diabetes. Using fructose also helps you decrease calorie intake, since it is twice as sweet as table sugar, but has the same caloric density.
