The glycemic index food list, also sometimes called a ‘GI’ food list or ‘GI’ chart, is a list of foods that includes some of their nutritional value – specifically which contain the most glucose.
Glucose is a simple sugar and the main form of energy in food used by the cells of the body. It is highest in the foods that we consider ‘carbohydrates’ such as bread, crisps, fruit and sweets. When the body uses glucose for energy it breaks this down into ATP – adenosine triphosphate – and then breaks this down even further releasing energy from the powerful bonds that hold the three phosphate molecules together. Without glucose we would have no energy and would be unable to function, but too much can be a bad thing as well.
Why Is the Glycemic Index Important?
In other words then, if you find out how much glucose is in your food then this tells you roughly how much energy is in your foods and how much sugar. This is an important statistic to be familiar with for many reasons. Firstly it is important for diabetic patients etc who need to be very careful with the amount of glucose they eat. In diabetic patients, not enough insulin is produced by the body and this means that they have lots of spare glucose in the body (because insulin is what the body uses in order to turn glucose into ATP). This excess sugar in the blood can then cause a lot of damage to the body including damage to the organs and to the nerves and this can result in loss of sensation in the extremities and in some cases blindness. It is therefore highly important that diabetics use the GI index in order to make themselves aware of which foods have high amounts of glucose and which to avoid. Conversely, patients with hypoglycemia suffer from having an abnormally low blood sugar level and this results in lethargy and lack of energy. As a result they might benefit from the GI index by using it to find foods that can raise their blood sugar level quickly.
At the same time the glycemic index can be used by those without diabetes or related problems as it enables them to look at the sugar in their food from a health perspective. Even for those without diabetes too much sugar is still unhealthy, and apart from anything else unused glucose will be stored by the body as fat – so if you are trying to lose weight then the glycemic index can become an invaluable tool for avoiding high-energy foods. For athletes on the other hand a food with a high glycemic value might be useful as a form of energy for extended exertion.
Reading the Glycemic Index
Below is the glycemic index so that you can discern which foods are high in sugar and which are safe to eat in larger quantities, but understanding how the tables work is important. First of all you need to be aware that there are lots of figures for any one food item. This is because there will have been multiple studies done on each food stuff. For instance take something like honey and the figure is ’32-87′ which tells you that in one study it was found to have a glycemic value of 32 and in another it was 87. A third figure then might be the average from these two studies which in this case is 55.
But why do different studies yield different results in the first place? Well the simple reason is that foods vary in terms of their glucose content depending on when they have been tested, the individual undergoing the test and individual differences between the food items. For instance say we were to study apples. Here the individuals who consume the apples will vary and while one person might find their blood sugar elevated rapidly, another might find theirs not to be that effected. At the same time of those two apples usually one will be higher in sugar than the other simply because they vary just like we do (they even vary in size). Things like the type of the apple, the area it was picked from and how ripe it is will all also affect that number.
Thus if two food items are only 5-10 different then this can essentially be ignored as it the opposite could be true in a subsequent test. Look for big differences to get an idea for what’s healthy and what’s not.
So what do the figures themselves mean? Well essentially the scores are all comparative. Glucose is given a score of 100, and anything else is in relation to this score. So something else that has a glycemic index of 95 is almost as adept at raising blood sugar as pure glucose, whereas something with a GI of 10 will barely affect it. Bear in mind that ‘sweet’ and ‘sugary’ does not necessarily mean a higher GI – as the food has to be sugary in a way that makes the body absorb more of that sugar into the blood stream. This is what makes the Glycemic Index chart so useful.
