High glycemic index foods help reduce the spikes in blood glucose. True False
Aparna S.
In 1981, an Australian research team developed a method of evaluating carbohydrates based on their immediate effect on blood glucose. What can be reasonably concluded from glycemic index research? a. The higher the glycemic index, the greater the potential of the carbohydrate to promote obesity: b. Because starches are complex carbohydrates, they have a lower glycemic index than all sugars. c. A variety of factors, including dietary fat, dietary soluble fiber, and cooking method, affect the glycemic index. d. The lower the glycemic index, the more valuable the carbohydrate is as an energy source.

Explain why eating a high-GI food at the same time as foods that are high in protein and fat causes a smaller change in blood glucose than eating the high-GI food alone. Explain why eating lots of high-GI foods can eventually lead to type II diabetes, a disease in which your body produces insulin but your cells stop responding to it.
