Carbohydrates are not all the same. They come in three forms: sugar, starch, and fiber. Starch is simply a chain of sugar molecules.
Unlike sugar and starch, fiber cannot be digested by the body. Instead, it feeds the microbes in your gut and does not turn into sugar.
People with insulin resistance often do not tolerate carbohydrates well. Insulin resistance is commonly linked to the chronic consumption of refined starches and refined sugar.
The glycemic index ranks carbohydrates based on how quickly they raise blood sugar. Surprisingly, industrial starches can spike your blood sugar even more than table sugar.
The safest carb in the world is very low on the glycemic index and won’t spike your blood sugar or insulin. Unlike other types of carbohydrates, the safest carb does not contribute to chronic illnesses like diabetes or a fatty liver.
