If you live in the US, your Special K has a moderate/high borderline GI of 69 (various reasons including different product formulation, different wheat etc).The US and ANZ Shopper's Guides to GI Values have about 6 pages of breakfast cereals so it is really worthwhile to check out a copy. Alternatively, key the product name into the database at glycemicindex.com.<BR/><BR/>When choosing foods the GI isn't meant to be used on its own. The nutritional benefits of foods are many and varied and that's why we suggest you base your food choices on the overall nutritional content along with the amount of saturated fat, fibre, salt and of course the GI value. When it comes to breakfast, opt for a nutrient-rich, low GI breakfast cereal such as wholegrain oats, muesli or a high-fibre breakfast biscuit and serve it with fruit and low fat yoghurt and maybe even a sprinkle of chopped nuts to supercharge your day.GI Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609354784645028388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-24467624272483141532008-11-13T01:22:00.000+11:002008-11-13T01:22:00.000+11:00Hi GI Group - please can you tell me if Special K ...Hi GI Group - please can you tell me if Special K is on the low GI list? if it isn't please tell me which cereals are low GIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-68494877738456004212008-11-05T19:49:00.000+11:002008-11-05T19:49:00.000+11:00Hi there Cazzypurple.

Potato chips (crisps) have a substantially higher fat content than regular cooked potatoes - fat acts to delay gastric emptying and therefore can slow down carbohydrate digestion.GI Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609354784645028388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-74825448872667757962008-11-05T09:43:00.000+11:002008-11-05T09:43:00.000+11:00Hi GI Group,Can you tell me why the potato crisps ...Hi GI Group,<BR/>Can you tell me why the potato crisps are 56 and the other potatoes are so high?
