There is a difference in speed of digestion. Sugar will hop the blood almost immediately, starches even on white bread, would take a bit longer. Glucose will rise either way, but with sugar it would be much faster and higher. I did test it, myself (pock my fingers and tested blood sugar levels multiple times after meals) and seen it with my own eyes. And I felt the drops too, with tremor in my hands and racing heart. I know my do and fonts. But whatever, you don't hear any one but yourself.[/quote]

So you've got it all wrong. Glycemic index of sucrose (table sugar) is 65 while for white bread it is actually higher - 75.

Besides, it's glycemic LOAD and not index that is more important and accurate. For example, watermelon has high GI but low GL which means that it will have rather low impact on your blood glucose because carb content in one serving is only 5 grams.

Mind boggling, right?

HOWEVER, all there is to know is that [quote]The American Diabetes Association, on the other hand, says that the total amount of carbohydrate in a food, rather than its glycemic index or load, is a stronger predictor of what will happen to blood sugar. [/quote]

That's what I and other pps where trying to explain. But no, you choose to demonize only *added* sugar. [/quote]
