The GI content can tell us how easily the body digests components of food. 

Below 55 GI is considered good
- This is because the energy is released slowly, and therefore doesn't spike the blood quickly. 

Medium GI - 56-69
High GI - Greater then 70 ]]> 2021-08-18 03:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tmur66451/m7o41miqjh87maaq/wish/1683374990 Fun Facts & Myths tmur66451 https://padlet.com/tmur66451/m7o41miqjh87maaq/wish/1683386083 Foods containing carbohydrates
