Hi just a question to broaden my knowledge.
I understand the concept behind GI diet eat food that takes longer to digest, and there fore a slower increase in blood sugar, which in turn avoids peeks in bg which should lessen the amount of insulin flooding your system.
BUT my reading of that is sugar does you harm so eat it slowly and you will be able to eat even more sugar.
In the list of good food less than the 50 GI units cake, jam & Mars bars.
Anyone have a better understanding of it, are there subtleties and nuances that I am missing?
