Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey, what would you pick? I'm talking about an

ingredient that's in a lot of foods, not some band dangerous chemical, but some ingredient that is

very pervasive in our foods, what would you pick?

Go ahead and type it down in the common section.

The ingredient that I'm going to talk about is much, much higher on the glycemic index than glucose.

Now, what is the glycemic index?

It is a scale that measures how fast a carbohydrate is absorbed

and spikes your blood sugar. So at 100, you have glucose. So that's pretty high, right?

Now, glucose is a monosaccharide, okay? It's just one sugar.

When you combine two different sugars,

like glucose and fructose, you get sucrose.

That's table sugar, okay?

And because fructose is lower on the glycemic index,

it's gonna pull the glycemic index down a bit

to roughly about 72. That's a d dye saccharide. Now, saccharide

means sugar and dye means two. And then glucose is a monosaccharide, it's just one sugar. So the reason

where I'm talking about the diaccharide or the monosaccharide is because this ingredient is a

polysaccharide, which means many different sugars that are combined.

However, this polysaccharide is a lot worse than glucose, even though it's a polysaccharide.

So it is the ingredient that is the highest on the glycemic index.

I don't know of any other ingredient that's higher than this thing I'm

to tell you. And that ingredient is multodextrin. Okay, now multodextrin doesn't sound that bad,
