yeah milk is bad has simple sugars and so on but i read from many sources that the glycemic index is 35-39 so how is that bad?
btw since i started my own thread
if x has a GI of 10
if u consume 100 grams of x it would be like consuming 1kilo the insulin response would be the same or would it be higher when the quantity increases??
It's not so much the GI, it's that the entire carb content is pure sugar. That's not good no matter what the GI.
~SC~
so should we avoid drinking milk at all ? Even 0% fat milk ?
0% fat would prob be worse,as far as gi. It's the fat that would give it a lower gi. But then again, you would be mixing fats and carbs.... dammt, just listen to swole! :chairshot

the gi scale is just a messure of how much insulin is released from consuming that meal if I dont remember wrong. Its all standardised to 100g carbs(I think 100g was the ammount) and the base is white bread that is given the gi 100.Quote:

swole I have never realy understood what is the difference betwen a simple sugar with the gi of 30 or so and something like brown rice that has a gi of say 45-50(cant remember). :shrug: What makes the brown rice better if looked upon as a carb source alone(not taking into account the fibers and minerals in the rice). If only considering fat metabolism.
