It is essential to understand GI not as the contents of an ingredient, but how your blood sugar reacts to you ingesting it. If it is pre-chewed, your body will have an easier time consuming it, and your blood sugar levels will change in a different way then if it is not pre-chewed.

Glycemic load, aka glycemic load index, is a more recent metric that measures the rate of absorption into the blood stream. This is the largest factor causing large blod sugar shifts, which can lead to fat conversion and lack of concentration.
