For example, the structure of fructose makes it sweeter than glucose and galactose, but also
decreases its absorption compared to glucose and galactose.
In young, healthy males, 15 g / d of nondigestible oligosaccharides (inulin or fructooligosaccharides) did not
decrease blood lipids or affect glucose
absorption compared to controls (van Dokkum et al., 1999).
