Meaning of carbohydrate "of which sugars"

[Mr_Pot]

The large baked potato tastes a lot better though
Must be an impressive potato too. According to your reckoning the potato in question here has 18 teaspoons of sugar, equalling (18x4=) 72 grams of carbs. Google says 17 grams of carbs per 100 grams for potato so your potato weighs close to a pound!

The Carbs and Cals book shows a similar baked potato to the one in the video. It has 75g of carbs and weighs 348g.

No. Baking doesn't add carbs, and there is not '19 sugar cubes' in that potato. I think you need to check your sources.

We will have to agree to disagree. I suspect you have done your research, I am anal with mine, also; baking and mashing increases the sugar availability not just for potatoes.

Yup, just double checked the BBC documentary I referenced, at 2 mins 43 the presenter verifies 19 sugar cubes (teaspoons) for a large baked potato. A bowl of white rice was even worse at 20 cubes - 2 mins 22.

Remember guys that only 50% of sucrose is glucose, the rest is fructose which for the most part isn’t converted to glucose by the liver. With that in mind, these sugar cube comparisons all of a sudden don’t seem so outlandish?

This is often posted on the forum as some some sort of useful guide to spoonsful of sugar. (glycaemic response)

I ate half a serving of mashed potatoes with gravy yesterday at lunch.

BG still low later in the day. Same as when I'd eaten half a muffin at breakfast the day before.

Just sayin'.

It probably wasn't low during the time following the meal and before your test. Just sayin!

(You're probably right. I was just trying to distract the boys from butting heads.)

Every. Single. Time. I come to this thread it opens with the above post.

And every. single. time. I read it as "The Carbs and Cats book." I know I need new glasses.

Why? What's wrong with cats?

Yeah!
What's wrong with cats????

They are way more interesting than the cals anyway. I would love a book where I can look up the carbs of different foods accurately but where the cals are replaced by pictures of cats! In the app they could even be cat video's.
I might be onto something here, could be a goldmine!

Nothing a dog doesn’t cure ! (I’m ducking low behind a solid barrier as you read this!)

I never said there was anything wrong with them.

Y'all are jumping to conclusions like a kitten on a lizard! ^. .^

Which gave you the perfect excuse to post that video again, so don't complain

Are you sure?

Yeah to be fair my first dog had a rabbit and a cat as best friends. But she was a dog!

(Medal's for your dog obviously, @HSSS )

Yeah, I was kinda surprised I "had" to ... thought everyone had seen it!
