I wanted to create a video in tapioca

because I’ve gotten this question over

and over and over again is tapioca keto

friendly

let’s take a look at it where does

tapioca come from well it’s a starch

that comes from the cassava plant and if

you think about how many carbohydrates

it has

it’s quite high in fact the

carbohydrates from cassava flour is 25

percent more than white wheat flour now

if we compare tapioca flour not fiber

which we’re going to get to in a second

with almond flour and we compare a

fourth of a cup

with tapioca you’re getting 27 net carbs

but with almond flour you’re only

getting three net carbs so you could see

that tapioca can get out of control very

very fast but now I want to show you

something that’s very very interesting

because recently

you’ll see this ingredient in a lot of

so-called keto friendly products or

snacks or bars or powders or recipes

soluble tapioca fiber it sounds pretty

safe right and soluble tapioca fiber is

the same exact thing as Prebiotic

tapioca fiber which is the same thing as

organic non-GMO tapioca fiber well this

may not be organic but it’s usually not

gml because they don’t grow cassava GMO

but all of these are very very similar

if not the same

now here’s the problem when you do

research on this right here you’re not

going to find hardly anything out there

especially if the the glycemic index

what you are going to find is tapioca

fiber is a very big common source for

Imo

isomaligosaccharide this is a common

sweetener so-called keto friendly fiber

sweetener and a lot of the ingredients

that you’ll see in fact I used to

recommend it in one of my videos until I

found out it creates some problems so I

no longer recommend it I didn’t know it

at the time because if when you did

research on it it didn’t have some of

the studies that they have now but

isomal legal saccharide has the same

glycemic effect

as glucose and dextrose does so on the

glycemic index

glucose is at a hundred okay

sugar like table sugar

is between 65 and 70.

so IMO is a hundred on the glycemic

index it is way up there it will spike

your blood sugar so when you’re

consuming the soluble tapioca fiber

which sounds very very safe because it’s

a fiber and in fact if I’m not mistaken

they can even list it as the fiber which

could be a hidden source of a lot of

carbs and you don’t even know it now the

reason that they use it is because it

makes the dessert taste really great and

sweet and it gives it a nice texture and

it’s very very convenient because it

comes in the syrup and it’s you can mix

it up and it comes out beautiful if

you’re making cookies or certain keto

desserts the source of most of this is

from China but the big problem is when

you actually are using this ingredient

it’s very similar to using just straight

glucose or dextrose it’s not even that

you’re using sugar table sugar you’re

using something that is worse than sugar

so if you want to stay keto friendly and

stay in ketosis

I would recommend staying away from

not only tapioca flour but definitely

tapioca fiber and if you want a video on

some better sweeteners check out some of

these videos on the screen
