Omschrijving
Foods that have a high glycemic index include potatoes, refined foods such as white bread, white rice, refined cereals (corn flakes, Cheerios), white spaghetti, and sugar. Foods with a low glycemic index do not raise blood sugar levels as quickly and, therefore, are associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Low glycemic index foods include legumes, whole fruits, oats, bran, and whole-grain cereals.
