[agere_contra]

Denatured disaccharides do not have the same food effect as, for instance, mashed potatoes.

Try eating just sugar for a week: your body's immune system would collapse. Mashed potatoes on the other hand - you could live off them for a long time if you had to.

I don't care what the research says. When my kid was a kid (she's grown now) a candy bar or other sugar source would make her absolutely bounce off the walls..........

Did the mashed potatoes make her bounce off the walls, too?
