A member asked:

Is it normal for sugar from fruit not to speed up my heart rate but processed sugar say ice cream, yogurt, maple syrup, cake etc to make it 90-105?

Glucose vs fructose: Glucose can raise blood sugar more than fructose, but often it's a sign of other things. Have you been checked for diabetes?
