No foods contain zero carbs! Even a stalk of celery contains 2g per stalk 
2. Scientists have shown that giving in to your sugar cravings earlier in the day will help you resist the urge to munch on some sweets later in the day
3. Your brain uses 60% of your body's blood glucose - Carbs make this readily available
4. Carbs can be a drug: those who consumed high-GI carbs experienced activation in their ‘nucleus accumbens’ - a region in your brain that is triggered from compulsive behaviour such as gambling]]> 2020-09-01 22:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mael4973/35w4ukvkz0eg29ci/wish/713406166 GI Of Carbohydrates jpha4057 https://padlet.com/mael4973/35w4ukvkz0eg29ci/wish/713407992 White wheat bread - 75

Low GI found in whole foods eg. intact grain
Generally healthier as slower release of glucose
