There’s a misconception that eating too much table sugar is the cause of diabetes.

 

 

Sure, if you down a couple cans of soda every day, that’s an equivalent to a five pound bag of sugar every month, you might find your blood as sweet as syrup.

 

But that’s not the only sugar-high in town. The Glycemic Index is a value given to foods according to how they affect your blood sugar.

 

Foods with the Glycemic Index of 55 or lower will raise the blood sugar just a little bit.

 

Foods with the Glycemic Index of 70 or above?  That will spike your blood sugar higher than a pair of high-heeled shoes!

 

High fiber foods like bran are low, and corn flakes are high. Everyone reacts to food differently, and a Glycemic Index should not be used in isolation. So,

 

I have thrown into the equation, if you put a little extra fiber in almost any foods you eat, you’ll reduce that Glycemic Index.
