the last thread bout milk

[IronFreakX]

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??

[SwoleCat]

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~

[SayHelotomylilFriend]

so should we avoid drinking milk at all ? Even 0% fat milk ?

[alphaman]

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!

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.

So I assume a gi of 10 means that the product will cause the release of 1/10 of the ammount of insulin the same ammount of carbs from white bread would.

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). 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.
