blood sugar index for foods
Does anyone else find that many of the websites that allow you to search for the gi or gl content of foods are missing some of the most basic foods and then some? I have three sites I go to and a search for ''coconut'' yielded no results, no did searching for 2% milk. It seems they like to list the gi/gl for lots of brand name foods that are prepared, like Quaker instant oatmeal, or Quik, which is useful for people who eat lots of prepackaged/prepared food but if we're diabetic we're really supposed to be staying away from those processed foods. I also find many of the brand names listed are not found in North America, at least in Canada. Does anyone have any great websites for looking up the GI/GL of virtually ANY food, or is that pipe dream? Thanks in advance
