GI: The Glycemic Index Defined
September 29th, 2007 by admin
The effect foods have on your blood sugar levels is measured by the Glycemic Index (GI). A high glycemic index value means that food will raise the blood sugar level faster than a low glycemic index value.
Thinking simply about carbohydrates it may seem that complex carbohydrates digest slowly, and that simple and refined carbohydrates digest quickly causing a spike in blood sugar. Recent research has indicated that there is more to this story. It is not as simple as just simple vs complex or refined vs natural.
I values are on a scale of 1 to 100 with the high value being pure glucose. Many carbohydrate-rich foods have been tested for glucose levels. A value of 50 means that the food will affect blood sugar on a level that is equal to half that of glucose.
