"The glycemic index predicts how much glucose you are going to absorb into your blood, compared to pure glucose. Brown bread has a lower glycemic index than table sugar. The teaspoon equivalent makes it easier to see how much a food raises blood sugar. For example, 150 g boiled rice will raise blood sugar as much as 10 teaspoons of sugar will do."

...sugar hides in most things!
so true...i stopped eating rice about 2 years ago though i live in india where people usually eat rice. it helped me control my blood sugar.
I was going to say "too many" teaspoons of sugar. I should cut back. Thanks for sharing.
Have a happy day!
A very informative and easy to understand video, thanks. Valerie
I'm never going to eat rice or potatoes again...good grief.
too many, it happens in a lot of foods I eat
Quite informative.
Boy! Will I ever be able to eat rice again?
sigh
It's interesting how much natural sugars come in our food.
Um video muito interessante.
Um abraço e tenha um bom dia.

That is a great way to explain it by comparing to teaspoons of sugar, it would be nice to have a list of all the comparisons, I wonder if all rice is that high or is the brown rice any less. Thankfully I am not a big rice eater but I do like my potatoes
Wow, thank you! This is so interesting!!
So important ~ wonderful resource post ~
