Sucrose and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, primarily used as a sweetening agent in various foods and beverages. It is derived from natural sources like sugar cane and sugar beets. The refining process, especially in some parts of the world, may involve the use of bone char for decolorization, making it a potential concern for those avoiding animal-derived products.
