There is no sugar or fructose in brown rice also. And you may not know but malto is also a derivative of dextrose (aka glucose), in fact, even if it's a polysaccharide and is technically a complex carbohydrate on paper, it doesn't act like it, those 'complex chain' are very short and the bonds between the glucose units of maltodextrin are actually weak. It is fast digested and the absorption rate is also very fast, it’s absorbed just a bit slower than dextrose, but not much of a difference.

One more thing people should consider, maltodextrin, wazy maze and dextrose have one common thing : they are from corn. And what is the chance not to have non-GMO corn these days ? When Mosanto own the corn world from USA, to India and spreading in Mexico... The idea of ingesting more then 1lbs of this GMO sh!t per week, is a real turn off for me, I dunno for you.

Brown rice carbs are non-GMO and I like the effect it has on me, better then those I had when I was taking those corn byproducts.

Hope it help.
