If I see another “sugar free” recipe that includes brown rice syrup (sometimes called rice malt syrup), agave or coconut nectar/sugar I just might scream. These are all sugars – they are just extracted from different plants. Yes brown rice syrup is fructose free, but it has a GI equivalent to pure glucose! These are all sugars and we really are splitting hairs in suggesting that one is better than the other.
