Hi there--

I love reading the site and now I am hoping for some assistance. I am
not diabetic, but I need to learn about sugar intake.

Specifically, I want to understand:

1) the core issues of the diabetic, and

2) how the body metabolizes different types of sugar (from agave
nectar, brown rice syrup & barley malt all the way up to high fructose
corn syrup).

Can anyone help a non-science oriented consumer understand these
things?

Thnk you in advance!

John
