Brown rice syrup, also known as rice malt syrup, is a sweetener that is mistakenly believed to be healthy. Brown Rice Syrup does not contain refined fructose, only glucose. The lack of fructose is good, but rice syrup has a glycemic index of 98, meaning the glucose it contains causes blood sugar to spike extremely quickly. Rice syrup is also very fine and contains almost no essential nutrients. In other words, it’s considered “empty” calories.
