Anyone use dextrose PWO? What do y'all think about it?

The only time that I have any high GI intake now is PWO, where I'm consuming ~50g dextrose with my whey shake. I'm still dropping BF, but really want to know if y'all see a benefit from using it.
 
It's pure sugar bro, I would rather have some food containing cards instead of drinking calories from sugar.
 
I use it after a workout with whey. The idea is to create an insulin spike. The eat solid food 20 minutes later. It works well to get all the nutrient uptake you can without loading a pin with insulin and shooting it.
 
Oats, grits, rice or potatoes. Whole foods are the shit bro! Will create the same spike. Just mix with a protein like fish chicken or steak.

I do exactly the same thing except i wait like 45 min then have a whole food meal....
 
Thanks guys. I know the "why" on using it, didn't know how popular it was amongst y'all. Table sugar is sucrose, total junk. It has a moderate GI value (61) and generally something to avoid all of the time. Dextrose has a GI value of 100 and is the standard by which all other carbs are referenced against in terms of GI index.

I have a glucose meter and have found something really interesting since yesterday. My avg glucose level througout the day ranges between 88 and 102 (pretty solid). Keep in mind this is ranging from between meals, right after meals, etc... throughout the day. an hour after having 40g dextrose and 50g whey my glucose level was 78 Mon and 83 this morning. At first I was floored and thought the meter or test strips were fk'd up. Thinking about it some more, I think that I'm missing my glucose spike. What I mean is that after an hour, my insulin has already peaked and is doing it's job by storing that blood sugar into my cells and the result is lower than average. My next test is going to be to check my glucose levels every 10 min after my PWO shake. Stay tuned...

When ripping up lucine can spike insulin w/o the extra calories of dextrose. 80 grams of dex = 320 calories 10 grams lucine = 40 calories so it would depend weather cutting or bulking.
