What is the Glycemic Index
The Glycemic Index is a measurement of how easily a food is converted into sugar in your blood. The more easily it is converted the higher your blood sugar will be after you eat it. The Cooper Institute in Dallas, TX recommends a diet lower on the glycemic scale for health and for weight loss. Since many peopel do not understand the glycemic index, I am adding these videos to help you understand. There is a whole diet industry surrounding the GI Index. Beware false info. Sherry Torkos R.Ph. has a site that has good info and she is selling a book that I know nothing about. Her articles look good but I have not read all of them.
