In this video, we’re going to talk about the huge problem with the glycemic index.
The glycemic index covers a wide range of foods on a scale that rates their ability to raise your blood glucose. A type of food that is less than 55 on the glycemic index is considered low. Between 56 and 69 is considered medium, and 70 to 100 is considered high.
You wouldn’t believe the foods that are considered low on the glycemic index:
• Twix candy bars
• Pizza hut supreme pie
• Betty Crocker chocolate cake
• 100% stone-ground wheat bread
There are five problems with the glycemic index that I want to highlight.
1. It’s not based on real-world serving size consumption.
2. People never eat just one type of food.
3. Combining protein or fat with sugar creates advanced glycation end products, which are harmful to your body.
4. Low GI fructose is worse than glucose.
5. It ignores the glycemic load and insulin index.
Check out my other videos on the glycemic load and insulin index.
