Hey guys, in this video we're going to 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.

And 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.

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.

And of course if it's in excess it's 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.

Rice is about 69.

Popcorn, depending on what type it is, there's different types of popcorn and whatever you put on it to,

can range anywhere between the high 70s and the low 90s.

Bread can go between 75 and 85 depending on what kind of bread it is.

Like refined bread, because in refined grains you don't have the fiber.

And fiber is a 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 too 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 weighed down here, but who's going to consume a raw potato?
