Through my own research, taking over 100 blood glucose readings via blood test, I have found that the whole glycemic index is at best an educated guess.
Among the reasons for that is what time of day I ate a food effected the glucose response, As well as if I had food in my stomach or not. If I ate a particular food by itself or with other things. If I had just woken up or not.
If a person is truly interested in finding out how THEIR body acts and reacts I would recommend getting a glucose meter, $10 at Walmart or Amazon and start with 50 strips.
They are the expensive part but for me it was a VERY eye opening experience when I charted my numbers. I was able to drop a good deal of fat and finally get down to the body fat levels I have wanted to for years.
