Sucrose by Ray Sahelian, M.D.

Sucrose, also known as table sugar or saccharose, is a disaccharide. Sucrose is made from glucose combined with fructose. Pure sucrose is most often prepared as a fine, colorless, odorless crystalline powder with a pleasing, sweet taste. Large crystals are sometimes precipitated from water solutions of sucrose onto a string (or other nucleation surface) to form rock candy, a confection. Sucrose melts and decomposes at 186°C to form caramel, and when burnt produces carbon dioxide and water. To find out about a no calorie natural sugar alternative, read about stevia, or you may purchase stevia supplement.
