Default Coconut Sugar

I have not found a thread about coconut sugar. I found it at Kroger the other day. I bought a bag and use it to sweeten some tea and some coffee. I'm on the fence about the taste. My thoughts:

How does this impact ketosis?

Super expensive, at least for now.

Has anyone else tried it or done research?

It is sugar, not part of a LC diet.

The American Diabetes Association has correctly observed that claims to glycemic index (GI) are unknown and untested for coconut sugar, and advises: "It is okay for people with diabetes to use coconut palm sugar as a sweetener, but they should not treat it any differently than regular sugar. It provides just as many calories and carbohydrates as regular sugar: about 15 calories and 4 grams of carbohydrate per teaspoon." So until there is further research to back up claims that coconut sugar is different from any other sugar in its effects in raising blood sugar, one would be wise and safe to treat it the same as other sugars.
