Dextrose and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Dextrose is a naturally occurring form of glucose, a simple sugar that is derived primarily from corn. It is commonly used as a sweetener in processed foods and beverages, and also serves as a texturizer and bulking agent. Its chemical formula is identical to glucose, making it a quick source of energy when consumed.
