hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk about the carbs that are actually worse

than sugar and the reason I’m doing this video is because I had someone recently

I was in a conversation with them and they were consuming popcorn okay

and in their mind they thought because it’s a carbohydrate and not a sugar it’s

healthier than sugar so it made it okay to consume popcorn on a regular basis

okay so take a look at this we have the glycemic index what does that mean

so the glycemic index is a scale of how fast a carbohydrate breaks down gets

absorbed and raises blood glucose okay and of course if it’s in excess is going

to turn the fat cholesterol or triglycerides so that is what the GI

index is and the greater the index the worse the food take a look at this we

have table sugar is 63 okay rice is about 69 popcorn depending on what type

it is there’s different types of popcorn and whatever you put on it - can range

anywhere between the high 70s and the haha low 90s bread can go between you

know 75 and 85 depending on with what kind of bread it is like refined bread

because in refined grains you don’t have the fiber and fiber is the carbohydrate

but it actually has the potential to buffer or slow down this effect right

here with blood sugars now the potato can also range - because the more that

you cook it the more the sugar molecules break down and the higher it is on this

glycemic index so a raw potato would be way down here but who’s going to consume

a raw potato they’re gonna cook it they’re gonna boil it and they’re going

to mash it or they’re gonna have an instant potato which is pretty high

Multi dextran is really high it’s probably one of the highest and that’s

in a lot of things as well the point is that these starches these carbohydrates

are worse than sugar because they are higher on the glycemic index they’ll

create more damage so just because certain foods are carbohydrates and that

sugars doesn’t mean that they’re healthier okay you just have to

understand the glycemic index and lastly the carbohydrates that you want to focus

on the vegetable carbohydrates because you

have the fiber that feeds the the colon bacteria which actually will help fuel

the body because you your body can’t digest the fiber but the microbes can so

basically fiber gives these microbes the food in exchange they give you this

healthy it’s called the butyric acid that then helps regulate blood sugars

okay so it actually helps your blood sugars and it’s loaded with fiber it’s

low in sugar and it’s high in nutrients okay so we want to focus on the

vegetable fiber we don’t want to consume the fruit because it’s too much sugar we

definitely do not want to do starches at all alright thanks for watching hey guys

so there’s a whole bunch of people that really need this information so press
