Glycemic Index (GI) ranks carbohydrate foods according to the SPEED they cause our blood sugar to rise and fall. Pure glucose (sugar) is used as a reference point with a GI value of 100. The quicker food gets digested/absorbed, the faster our blood sugar rises, the Higher the GI value. And vice versa. Highly processed and sugary foods have higher Gl values. While High fiber, High fatty foods have Lower GI values. Glycemic Index, however, does not tell us the quantity and the quality of our carbohydrate intake. This is where Glycemic Load (GL) comes in, as it gives a more accurate picture. So, understanding GL is just as important as the GI of foods! Agreed ka Doctor Tany. For people with no chronic medical conditions, eating a wide variety of healthy foods in “moderation” from each of the 5 food groups daily is still Best. For Me, Less Headaches too! PS. There is such a thing as Soft Apple Cider. Apple Cider Vinegar, Doctor Tany. Kombucha probably with little ETOH is probably in between. Does not taste as Good tho! LOL 🌱🌼🙂
