No, because the effect of a low GI food carries over to the next meal, reducing its glycemic impact. This applies to breakfast eaten after a low GI dinner the previous evening or to a lunch eaten after a low GI breakfast. This unexpected beneficial effect is called the "second meal effect". But don't take this too far, however. We recommend that you aim for at least one low GI food per meal.

The intention of the program is that foods with a range of GI values from low to high become part of the program. The main aim is to provide information about the GI of foods regardless of GI. Overall, it is important to lower the average GI of your diet. In order to do achieve this, all foods do not need to be low GI. .

Provided a food has been properly GI tested, contains 10 grams of carbohydrate per serve, and meets the set nutritional criteria for its food group (in terms of fat, sodium, fibre etc), it will be eligible for the symbol - regardless of its GI. This is to ensure that consumers can mix and match low, medium and high GI foods to meet their varying needs.

The top 10 low GI foods are: apples, berries and cherries, barley, grapefruit, legumes (lentils, beans, peanuts), nuts (almonds, walnuts, soy nuts), oatmeal (unsweetened), green peas, tomatoes, unsweetened plain yogurt.

It is also important to remember that diet and exercise are also key in reducing cholesterol levels.

Yes it does, especially if the fat is saturated fat. The GI value of potato chips or french fries is lowerthan baked potatoes.

Yet the saturated fat in these foods will contribute to a much increased risk of heart disease. It is important to look at the type of fat in foods rather than avoid it completely.

In short, no. It is now a widely known fact that the consumption of excess carbohydrates is one of the quickest ways to gain weight and the atkins diet (and zone diet) are proof of that fact.

This is because much of the fish we consume is now farm raised or does not contain significant amounts of Omega-3.

Studies done on organic foods vs. commercially grown foods have shown that the organic produce has an average of 3 times more nutrients than commercially grown. Organic foods aren't grown with the pesticides, chemicals, growth stimulants and bioengineering, all of which are very bad for your body. Many organic foods just plain taste better and have more flavor as well. But, prices can be much higher for organic. If you have the means, definitely eat as much organically grown as you can.

The GI reflects the relative ranking of different foods, irrespective of an individual’s unique blood glucose profile. When a food’s GI is tested, the response for each subject is compared with their response to a standard food (usually glucose, but sometimes white bread is used). Their blood glucose response to the standard is said to be 100. For example, if the blood glucose response of a person to one food is exactly half of their response to glucose, then the GI of that food is 50.

Pasta has a low GI because of the physical entrapment of ungelatinised starch granules in a sponge-like network of protein (gluten) molecules in the pasta dough. Pasta is unique in this regard. As a result, pastas of any shape and size have a fairly low GI (30 to 60). Asian noodles such as hokkein, udon and rice vermicelli also have low to intermediate GI values. Definitely not, because, unlike potatoes and cereal products, these vegetables are very low in carbohydrate.

There is no need for anyone with diabetes to eat special diabetic foods like cookies, chocolate, jelly/jam or sweets. Instead you can eat ordinary chocolate, biscuits and jams as part of an overall balanced diet. The diabetic foods often cost a lot more, and tend to be just as high in fat and calories as ordinary products. They usually contain a bulk sweetener, such as fructose or sorbitol, which can have a laxative effect and make blood glucose levels rise.

In the past, this was very much the conventional wisdom. However, today it is known that peptic ulcers are almost always caused by a bacterial infection of the stomach lining.

Once you do develop an ulcer, the aforementioned irritants such as spicy food and stress can make your symptoms worse.
