THE GLYCEMIC INDEX 

• The glycemic index (GI) is a scale from 1-100 that ranks carbohydrate-rich foods by how much they raise blood glucose levels.  
• Some carbohydrate foods are digested quickly, and others more slowly. 

• ​​The ranking is based on how the carbohydrate food when digested compares to the standard food, which is either white bread or pure glucose.  
• White bread and glucose have been given the highest possible rating of 100 on the glycemic index because they raise blood glucose levels higher and quicker than most other foods. A food that has a high glycemic index ( 70 or more ) will increase your levels of blood sugar more quickly than one that has a medium or low GI ( 55 or less)

HIGH GLYCEMIC INDEX DIET AND INFLAMMATION

• Today, 85-90% of the carbohydrates adults and children are consuming in the US and Canada are highly processed and high-glycemic.  
• Foods like bread, cereal, and potatoes actually spike your blood sugar faster than eating pure table sugar!

A high glycemic food increases blood sugar concentrations quickly! The body has energy only for a short period of time. 
Insulin is release in response to this rise to blood sugar, which in turn, brings the glycemia down rapidly.
