OK, but the glycemic index of cola is 60, which is roughly identical to fruits like kiwi, banana, mango and watermelon.
EDIT: love the downvoting for literally providing a factual response here, people.

- NovemberWhiskey 3y agoNo? There's 25% more sugar in a mango than there is a regular 330ml can of Coca Cola. As is pointed out elsewhere, what the study actually seems to point out is that the diets of people who drink soda twice a week are likely to be worse-overall than those who eat two mangos a week.

- NovemberWhiskey 3y agoThe extent to which "other things going on in the food" affect the rate of absorption is exactly what the GI tells you. I have no idea why the numbers are what they are in this case.
