Is complex carbohydrate always have higher
than the sweet food ?
It's true most of the time but some starchy foods like potatoes or white bread score
even higher than honey
or table sugar (sucrose)!
WHY glycemic Index Important ?
The higher the glycemic index , the greater
the rate of blood sugar rises . in response the faster the insulin release.
With these faster insulin response you may
feel an initial elevation in energy and mood as your blood sugar rises, but
this is followed by a cycle of increased fat storage, lethargy, and more
hunger!
What is glycemic load ?
(Net Carbs are equal to
the Total Carbohydrates minus Dietary Fiber)
It will bring more problem to diabetic
patient as diabetes type ii have difficulty in insulin response to bring down
the blood glucose level.
GL = GI/100 x Net Carbs
