The Glucose Response Factor

In the graphic above, they found that 65% of people in their study had more significant spikes in glucose from eating rice versus eating ice cream. In fact, for every food they tested, people’s glucose response levels were very different. The good versus bad diet for humans doesn’t appear to be a one size fits all. As a result, we shouldn’t be asking “what is the best diet for humans?”, but instead ask “what is the best diet for me?”.
