CARBOHYDRATEand simple sugar (monosaccharide) occurs
naturally in honey and fresh fruits. Because it's twice as sweet as
table sugar (sucrose), commercial bakers use fructose in cakes, breads
and cookies to make them brown better. And dieters trying to shave
calories substitute it for regular sugar in sweets because they need use
only half as much. But make a note, fructose can't be substituted measure
for measure for sugar in baked goods because its chemical and physical
properties are different. Instead, use it to sweeten puddings, fruits,
sauces and ice creams. It's available in many health-food stores. |
