Question
great job! you identified the food with the lowest glycemic load. the glycemic index of carrots is quite high. why is the glycemic index sometimes misleading? a) it only counts for sugars b) its relative to serving size c) its relative to the amount of carbohydrate d) it includes digestible fiber
The glycemic index measures how quickly carbohydrates in food raise blood - sugar levels. However, it doesn't account for the amount of carbohydrate in a serving. A food with a high glycemic index might have a small amount of carbohydrate per serving, so its impact on blood sugar may be less significant than the glycemic index alone suggests.
