NOTE: The glycemic index is used to determine how quickly a food will elevate your blood sugar. Foods with a high glycemic index are generally not at good for you. When the blood sugar raises too quickly it causes a spike in the fat storing hormone insulin, which is associated with diabetes and other degenerative diseases. Raw Organic Agave is a great alternative because its Glycemic Index, abbreviated GI, is closer to that of brown rice.
