Message: <blockquote data-quote="Squire Fulwood" data-source="post: 1092420" data-attributes="member: 44622">I tend to use just the carbs figure and not the GI. The reason is that the GI figure is an indicator of the rate of absorption of the food but when you mix two different foods together ...... If you add fat then all the GI numbers get lower and in all these cases you don't really know what the glycemic index is for the whole meal. I just ran out of fingers to do the sums.Even when you consider just carbs you may get a different result for different people. Your partner doesn't seem too good on swede for instance. My chart shows swede as 9gms/100gms which isn't a lot but who eats just 100 gms?Generally speaking the current advice I have seen given out on this site is to treat root vegetables with caution and to stick with vegetables grown above ground.</blockquote>
