COCONUT PALM SUGAR

Has anyone tried this?  Is it a good sugar substitute for us?

I've been using this since before surgery (vsg) and I love it. It has the same calories as cane sugar, but it's lower on the glycemic index chart. So if you have high blood sugar, you may be able to use it. I'm not sure how it effects RNY patients though.
For more info try this, http://www.diabetes.ca/for-professionals/resources/nutrition/glycemic-index/.

 Thanks! I'll check it out.
