coconut milk

  • Very smooth and satisfying
  • <=1 g natural sugars so basically carb-free
  • amazing replacement for milk in cereal and smoothies

Thanks for the ref.

higher initial maltose content means a higher spike

Based on your ref, I'm not convinced that this is truly the case though. I think this may be more relevant to your point:

I'll read the full article later, but based on the abstract, it doesn't sound promising. Maltose is readily absorbed being a simple sugar while amylose is a multi-sugar (and one of the components of starch) that has to be broken down first in the digestive tract, so I don't think those are comparable.

Based on your ref, I’m not convinced that this is truly the case though.

What you are essentially saying here is that you don't believe sugary drinks will spike your blood sugar level.

Lol no :p I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm saying that you haven't convincingly substantiated your claims.
I was mostly hoping to find direct evidence to support the claim that amylase pre-treated oat-water is more destabilizing to blood sugar levels than non pre-treated. I'm getting the impression that you don't know of any.
That is not to say that your claim is wrong, just that it is, at best, merely supported by indirect evidence.
Edit: typo

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

There seems to be a confusion here:

Amylose is a polysaccharide and one of the two compounds that form starch (alongside amylopectin). What Oatly adds is amylase, one of the enzymes in our body that breaks down polysaccharides into absorbable sugars which means that their oat milk already contains higher amounts of reduced sugars due to that process which is shown in the study I've linked earlier.

Sorry, fixed the typo
