Type 1 Dextrose tablets contain HFCS??

[Smiley_Kylie]

Hello!

I am concerned about the ingredients in the dextro energy tablets that I take when I have a hypo. I have never questioned the ingredients before and now I am wondering if it contains high fructose corn syrup. Does anyone know?

The ingredients list as:
Dextrose (88%),Maltodextrin ,Citric Acid ,Flavouring ,Anti-Caking Agent (Magnesium Salts of Fatty Acids) ,Vitamin C, Niacin, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin B12

Is Dextrose or Maltodextrin another name for HFCS?

Thanks!
Kylie

No. Dextrose is a sugar

No, they don't

HFCS is used much less in the UK than the U.S.

Dextrose is effectively glucose.
