Hi Dennise, When I was a kid training and being fed Glucodin, we used to keep glucose syrup in the refrigerator and dig out clumps of it to eat as high energy sweets. It tastes nothing like honey. It really has very little taste and although I was aware of it's sweetness as a child, I now find it a little bland. This is explained in Mr Gillespie's book and I look forward to it tasting sweeter as time goes on. However, I find that so early in my quest to wean myself from fructose, I cannot yet enjoy tea and coffee without sugar. A teaspoon of glucose syrup makes a great difference. I think it would probably have the same effect on porridge. Hope this is of some assistance. Best wishes..DF.
