The Glycemic Index

Most intelligent individuals know that sugar is not good for you. Indeed, it is downright harmful, not only raising blood sugar but also depleting you of many essential nutrients, mobilizing insulin, and eventually wearing out the pancreas.

Glucose’s ability to raise blood sugar is rated as having a Glycemic Index (G.I.) of 100. The higher a food’s G.I., the more strain on the body, with resultant obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Ideal foods have a G.I. below 55.

Here is a table of foods to avoid because they have a Glycemic Index of above 55:
