This is nutritional science 101.
Slow-digesting carbohydrates like big-flake oats are really good.
Fast-digesting things like sugars, processed foods, fast food and meat products are bad as they create spikes in the glycemic index.

- rootusrootus 4y agoWith enough brown sugar and butter they sure do. But I suppose that defeats the point...
- seadan83 4y agoI agree. I do wonder and was speaking a bit to other factors that I do not know but suspect, notably: - Do a high glycemic index food have a higher propensity to be stored on the body vs actually used? - Is the caloric absorption rate of high fructose corn sryup higher than say honey? Speaking to this, the body makes different choices on whether a food passes through you, is absorbed and used, or whether it is stored. It makes different choices in where and how to store that energy, all in all which makes me think that not all carbohydrates (or calories, or foods) are equal when actually consumed. That is not even getting started with on gut fauna and the effects of different foods on the microbial environments in our guts.
- sph 4y ago> meat products Are you saying meat products cause spikes in glycaemic index? Seriously?
