Wednesday, February 17. High glycemic index foods.

It was all the rage before everyone started talking about keto: Glycemic Index, or GI. It is a way to measure how easy a food is taken up by your body and turned into energy. Pure glucose is 100.
How is that relevant? Well, you remember all those crackers I ate yesterday? They made my uric acid spike. And that without eating any purines whatsoever. I will inbestigate GI as a tool to set your diet, because I honestly had not expected those crackers to have that high effect.
