How can one buy bulk glucose to use as a sweetener instead of fructose or sucrose?

Of the artificial sweeteners I've tried, it tastes the most like table sugar to me.

Who wants to extort money from whom?.. ...beside the food industry, which thrives by having people overeat?
Quacks selling books certainly want to take money from people wishing they could be thinner (but who are unwilling to eat less and exercise more). (Another variant is selling books telling you "it's not your fault you are fat." I haven't read it, but the impression I get from people who have is that Gary Taubes book falls into this category.)

Definitely. Imagine if sugar was the opposite: You gain weight immediately (* poomp *!), and a year later you get a pleasant sensation on your tongue.
You actually gain weight immediately, due to the conservation of mass. Eat an ounce of sugar (or anything else) and you gain an ounce, until you poop it out. You just don't feel it because the amounts involved at any given meal is small. But if you ate 10 lb of sugar at one meal... you'd definitely feel the consequences.

It's "until you breathe it out" actually, isn't it?
