The Facts About The Glycemic Index
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006What is the Glycemic Index? The number is a ranking figure (like 72 out of 100). It ranks carbohydrates as to how much they cause blood sugar to rise 2-3 hours after ingestion. A food with a high glycemic index shoots your blood sugar up; a food with a low glycemic index doesn’t cause a spike in blood sugar.
