Highlighted claims
- The glycemic index measures how high and how fast blood sugar rises after consuming a specific food, typically eaten in isolation. — Sugar, the Brain, and the Neural Circuits Driving Cravings
- Fiber slows glucose absorption and blunts the glycemic peak. — Sugar, the Brain, and the Neural Circuits Driving Cravings
- Fat co-ingested with a sweet food reduces its effective glycemic index; full-fat ice cream has a lower GI than plain mango or table sugar alone. — Sugar, the Brain, and the Neural Circuits Driving Cravings
- Real-world glycemic index is almost always lower than laboratory-measured GI because most people eat mixed meals. — Sugar, the Brain, and the Neural Circuits Driving Cravings
- Sour substances such as lemon or lime juice alter both the gut response and the neural response to sweet foods. — Sugar, the Brain, and the Neural Circuits Driving Cravings
