I'm not aware of what form pure glucose would take. Would you be able to fill me in on this?
I do know, however, that consumers also have to be wary of glucose because of the dramatic spikes it causes in blood sugar levels, and in turn, energy levels. Its for this reason that agave nectar (which is quite yummy in an iced coffee, by the way) has taken off as an alternative sweeter. It has a higher fructose to glucose ratio, which causes less dramatic changes in the blood, and its significantly sweeter than table sugar, so you don't need as much.
