4. Saccharin
Saccharin, the most common chemically synthesized sweetener, is 300 times sweeter than sucrose. It is sweet when used in small quantities, but bitter when used in large quantities. After saccharin enters the human body, it is not metabolized by tissues, but maintains its original form and is excreted from the kidney. Although saccharin is non-toxic, it is not suitable for general use, because animal toxicology tests show that it is weakly carcinogenic, so it has been banned by the US Food and Drug Administration. However, intermittent small amount of smearing is not serious, and there is no real cancer report at home and abroad. Diabetic patients should try saccharin from a very small amount and do related tests.

It is said that A-K sugar will probably become the most widely used sweetener for diabetic patients. But in the experiment, you should consult a diabetes expert.
7, high purity fructose
When fructose is metabolized in human body, it consumes less insulin than glucose and can be directly absorbed by small intestine. When it is stored in the liver with blood, it will not cause the increase of blood lipid and blood sugar. Honey contains more fructose, and the reason why honey is sweet is related to fructose, but honey towel still contains some glucose, which is not suitable as a sugar substitute for diabetic patients.
