Dreamfields® Pasta Product and Nutrition Expert Q&A

 
Your Answer Is Below...
I've heard terms like "good carbs" and "bad carbs" when following a glycemic index type diet approach. Can you shed any light on this and what foods fall into "good" and "bad"?
In relation to the glycemic index, some people use the term "good" to refer to foods with a lower glycemic index (GI < 55) and "bad" to those with a high glycemic index (GI > 70). However, this "good/bad" terminology really isn't a good "rule". Some low nutrition foods (such as chocolate candy) have a low glycemic index and other very nutritious foods (such as brown rice) have a high glycemic index. You may use the glycemic index of foods to help fine tune blood glucose control. You can learn more about glycemic index and find the glycemic index of foods at www.glycemicindex.com.
