    Balsamic Vinegar

    i have recently established that Vinegar can lower the GI of your carb meals

    but how does it do this? it seems that most of the carbs in balsamic vinegar are sugars

    INGREDIENTS


    sugar corn
    dextrose
    dehydrated corn glucose syrup
    lactose
    modified maize starch
    stabilizer
    xanthan gum
    wine vinegar
    concentrated grape must
    colour sulphite ammonia caramel


    - i havent heard of half of these ingredients but the sure as hell dont sound healthy - should i be concerned with these ingredients?

    Any acid will lower the GI of your meal, so perhaps some Balsamic Vinegar would be good in small amounts in a Pro/carb meal.
