Glycemic Index
There is a singular measure of carbohydrate
that gives exactly this
information: the glycemic index.
Glycemic index is simply a measure
of a food’s propensity to raise blood
sugar. Avoid high-glycemic-index
foods and you’ll avoid many, if not
most, of the ills associated with diet.
More than a few observers have
pointed out that low-glycemic foods
have limited shelf life and are found
on the perimeter of the grocery
store, whereas high-glycemic foods
have a longer shelf life and are typically
found within the grocery
store’s aisles.
