Publisher's Synopsis
The glycemic index (GI) is an easy-to-understand measure of how different foods affect our blood glucose levels, and it is revolutionizing the way we eat. Medical experts and health authorities throughout the world now advocate using GI values to make daily food decisions, so it's never been more important to understand how to choose and benefit from low-GI foods. In The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Guide to Sugar and Energy, the world's leading GI authorities explain the powerful role of sugar and how it affects the body. They dispel common myths about sugar and present scientific findings, including Harvard University studies which challenge many common assumptions about sugar. Also provided is key information about blood sugar control, weight loss, dental health, behavior, mental performance, and exercise, as well as meal plans, a low-GI food finder, and GI values for hundreds of foods and beverages.
