Yes. I think that is really one of the take home messages here. Based on the additional info 0311 has posted from the body of the study I posted above and the additional data he provided, I think it is very clear that it is more than just an energy boost, although that is certainly a major part of it.
I agree that TOO much pure dextrose can be problematic, though. I believe in using dextrose and malto. Also, for people who's digestion can handle it, people may not be aware that the instant oatmeal, the very thinly rolled kind, has a moderately high GI, much higher than regular oatmeal and along with dextrose, that can be a good stategy for some people, when convenient.
