Why do humans have a sweet tooth, and what does the glycemic index actually tell us about food? Dr. Cassandra Quave talks with University of Sydney nutrition scientist Dr. Jennie Brand-Miller about the role of fruit and sugar in human evolution, how different carbohydrates affect blood glucose, and why the type of rice you choose may matter more than whether it’s white or brown.

They also explore practical ways to build a balanced plate, what makes pasta a surprising low-GI food, and why Dr. Brand-Miller urges us to enjoy fruit rather than fear its sugar. It’s a conversation that challenges familiar assumptions about carbohydrates while making room for the pleasure of eating.
