March 30, 2023·48 min·5 clips

Professor Gonzalez explains the UK's 'free sugars' definition and reveals a key loophole: maltodextrin behaves like glucose but isn't classified as a sugar.

They explore the complex definition of 'free sugars,' discuss study findings about metabolic responses, and provide practical implications for athletes and active individuals.
