Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / December 2007GI index
Hi All, Given a book by the doc last week, from a pharma company that listed peanut m&m's as being 33 on the GI. And a super supreme pizza (brand not listed) came in at 36. A better choice would be, coming in at 19, pure fructose. These items are a lot lower than many of the "healthier" foods on the list, so I guess would should all sit back enjoy a supreme pizza, along with some M&M's washed down with some pure fructose, safe in the knowledge that we are consuming a relatively low GI meal;-)) No... don't do it ...really!!!

I admit, I did sneak one during Halloween this year. It was delightful! You are right, though... I think these fructose things are problematic. Will, T2 > Hi Craig, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Will, T2 Hi Will, Nice to "catch up". I must admit I used to like the almond Snickers, although they do not taste quite the same here as the ones in the US, which is a good thing for me:) Don't know why; different manufacturing process? Here's to hoping life is treating you kindly today.

Hope you are feeling o.k and wishing you well for the approaching festive season and coming year.

Most simple sugars are six ring structures, but fructose is a five-ring structure and this makes it a lot more complex for the body to convert to glucose, so little of it converts and it has minimal effect on bg. The problem is what happens to instead. Fructose is removed from the blood by the liver and converted to triglycerides. Then it's dumped back out into the blood to be picked up and stored elsewhere. In short, fructose doesn't raise your bg much, instead it raises serum triglycerides. If you're lucky and it doesn't clog up your coronary arteries on it's way, it winds up stored in adipose. In short, fructose doesn't raise bg much, instead it makes you fat and raises your risk for heart disease.

Hi Jackie Patti, Thanks for elucidating the metabolic details of fructose. This is the great thing about these groups, threads can wander back and forth and sometimes, as is the case with your post, someone posts useful stuff in the midst. Thank you.

But I think it also depends on the goodwill of the good people in here. They are the ones who put 'little gems' inside seemingly strange threads ... : > Hi All, : > Given a book by the doc last week, from a pharma company that listed : > peanut m&m's as being 33 on the GI.

From what I am currently reading in Taubes, that pathway should cause you to have higher VLVD's and lower HDLs. All bad cardiovascular news! Wendy |
