I call it "Liar's Glucose" as it does not get declared on the label
as a sugar or a carb due to labeling loophole.

I don't believe I am hearing this from you. Liar's Glucose is
"is a polysaccharide, made of many monosaccharide units, all
of which are glucose" [1][2]. Liar's Glucose "is easily
digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose" [2].
I turn to Glucose right on your tung. So the only way a
person would not react to to Maltodextrin would be it they
also did not react to Glucose. I do believe this is called
being "dead".

And I carry on about Liar's Glucose because people can get
hold of products claiming zero carb and zero sugar and
have all kinds of blood sugar problems from it.

What do you mean "hypo"? Low blood sugar? If so, you
can use any sugar/carb. The speed would depend on the
how fast it gets into your system. And the Glycemic
Index that you do not believe in is one of the best ways
to predict the speed.

Please back up what you say. If I have to reference that the ocean
is made up of water to a bunch of sailors, so do you.
