Scaling the Glycemic Index – How healthy are your carbs?
Heard the buzz on the Glycemic Index (GI)? The GI is esentially a ranking of how various
carbohydrates affect the blood sugar after
they are eaten. High-GI foods break down quickly and raise the blood
glucose fast and high. Low-GI foods make a more gradual, lower rise in blood glucose. Even though scientists warn that there's not enough evidence linking the GI to weight loss, many health experts are finding a lot to like about a low-GI diet which emphasizes whole foods that are high in
fiber and nutrients.
