- Features
- Low Glycemic Impact
- According to the Philippine Food and Nutrition Research Institute, coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index (35) than white sugar (60 to 65). The glycemic index measures the effects of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.
- Less Fructose
- Fructose is a type of sugar your body converts to fat quickly. Only your liver can break down fructose, and one of the results of this breakdown is triglyceride -- a form of fat. You shouldn't consume large amounts of fructose outside of that which you get in fresh fruit, notes Harvard Health Publications.
- Prebiotic
- Coconut sugar also contains good amounts of inulin, a type of dietary fiber you don't digest in your upper gastrointestinal tract. Instead, inulin acts as a prebiotic, feeding your intestinal bifidobacteria (a probiotic). Inulin and nutrients likely lower coconut sugar's blood sugar impact.
