Dextrose?

What is this stuff, and should we avoid it? It seems to be in a lot of dried fruit. I was thinking maybe it is a sweetener, or a preservative of some sort, in which case I suppose I should look elsewhere for my dried fruit. Anyone know for sure?

It's a corn-based sweetener. Most anything ending in -ose is a sugar of some sort. Definitely not something I would want to find in my dried fruit.
