Take that, sugar!

My lovely husband is reading a book about insulin resistance, weight loss, etc - mainly about the glycemic index.  It’s sounds like an interesting and informative book.

I did get a laugh about one of the examples they gave.  We all know that a can of coke is basically a big pile of sugar, empty calories.  In terms of glycemic load and your insulin response, it’s a high glycemic index.  The book said that adding enough spoonable fiber powder to the  glass of pop, you could change it from a high index to a low index food, and it wouldn’t cause all the turmoil that straight sugar does.

My brain, of course, took me to the mental picture of tonbs of fiber in a glass of coke, and the aftermath of that much fiber.  I truly have a sick mind.  Maybe I should try it, document it for posterity…..hmmm….
