Although the chemical composition of glucose syrups determines their physiological response, such effects may be difficult to establish using conventional methods. Experimental design, and especially carbohydrate loading, are important factors in any attempt to distinguish physiological response in relation to chemical structure. This paper presents details of changes in blood chemistry after ingestion of different carbohydrates at different loadings by human subjects over short time periods. Similarly, psychophysical aspects of glucose syrups and related carbohydrates are investigated in relation to chemical structure.
