Annie B's Handmade Caramels
by Twelveeleventwelve
Traditional caramels made with multiple high-glycemic sweeteners and corn syrup. While simple in ingredients, this product delivers concentrated sugars with minimal nutritional value and rapid blood sugar spikes.
- Corn syrup – controversial · High-fructose sweetener that bypasses normal satiety signals and may contribute to metabolic dysfunction and fatty liver disease.
- Sweetened condensed milk – controversial · Dairy product with added sugar that provides concentrated calories and lactose, potentially problematic for those with dairy sensitivities.
- Brown sugar – controversial · Refined sugar with minimal molasses that causes rapid blood glucose spikes and provides empty calories.
- Butter – safe · Natural dairy fat that provides satiety and fat-soluble vitamins, though quality depends on cow feed.
- Invert sugar – controversial · Chemically processed sugar that breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose, potentially more rapidly absorbed than regular sugar.
- Cornstarch – safe · Modified corn product used for thickening that is generally well-tolerated but adds refined carbohydrates.
