Is sugar (sucrose) ok for PWO?

Reading many threads about PWO I noticed that most people take dextrose toghether with the whey prot for PWO.
How many of you take sugar instead of dextrose?

I don't think your going to get the same result with sugar . . . .

you want to take double the protein in simple carbs with your PWO shake

You wouldn't get the exact same results, but they would be similar. The whole point of using dextrose is that it is the quickest to be broken down and enter the blood stream and therefore spike your insulin. Sucrose will do this, just not as rapidly and not at such a high level.

i've used sugar but it taste sweeter than the dex to me.so it sucks!i do think it works just fine,but the sugar maybe more expensive though.i got a whole shit load of dex from a wholesale store for like 5 bucks.i been using it for a month and still got plenty!

Yes, dextrose is about 20% less sweet than sugar I understand.

A wholesale store? Like Sam's or what?

I just bought two pounds online for $1.81 I think. Shipping was free because my order included 20 lbs of whey protein. I'm happy for that because the box was over 25 lbs and I shipping costs have really gotten high.

Here in Argentina it's much cheaper sugar than dextrose. I've been using sugar and wanted to change to dextrose but if it has similar result I'll continue with sugar (it's really sweet but I take it without breathing!).
Thanks for comments.
