Just because it’s low GI doesn’t mean it is good for you. For example, chocolate is low GI but that doesn’t mean you should eat more if it! Don’t get sucked in by the marketing magic because the GI is only a number and you hardly ever just have sugar – it is normally added to other things, e.g. porridge, baking, milk in coffee, tea etc and all of those other ingredients have an impact on how fast your blood sugars rise. Sugar is sugar – brown, raw, white, low GI or not, it is still sucrose so still provides approx 16 empty calories in every teaspoon!
