Is dextrose keto?

What it is

Dextrose is simply glucose, usually made from corn. Because it is already the sugar your body runs on, it needs no digesting and raises blood sugar as fast as anything you can eat.

It hides in places you would not look: as the bulking agent in sweetener packets (just under a gram per packet, so the label rounds it to zero), in cured meats and sausages, and in seasoning blends.

How to count it

Count every gram toward your net carbs.

Sugar under another name. Count every gram.
