Carbs and Fiber in Icing Sugar Food Item: Icing Sugar Icing Sugar and DietSugars (like Icing Sugar) are typically 'empty-calorie' foods (calories without any nutrients) with no dietary fiber. Moreover, excepting fructose, carb sugars are high on the Glycemic Index, because they cause a rapid rise in blood-glucose levels, leading to excessive insulin production and a sudden drop in blood glucose. The longer-term health effects of high-GI foods and consequent unstable blood sugar levels, include periodic hyperglycemia, hyperinsulimia, obesity and other symptoms, known collectively as insulin resistance syndrome. Increased risk of diabetes is another possibility. See also Diabesity and Insulin Resistance.
