Low Glycemic Index (GI) may help you control your appetite. The table below, published by Bekeley Heart Lab, Inc., shows the GI of some common foods. Look at it carefully, and I'm sure you'll find some unexpected results. Always try to choose the foods with the lowest GI. For example, when looking for a fruit snack, choose cherries or grapefruit over watermelon or dates.
As a reference, the GI of table sugar (and corn syrup) is approximately 90.
Berkeley Heart Lab is known for its in-depth analysis of blood cholesterol profile and the resulting cardiac implications. We use their services when appropriate.
