Think low-GI means safe? Think again. Glycemic Index doesn’t reveal the impact of fructose – in sucrose molecule known as table sugar, on your liver, insulin overload from sugary drinks, or long-term risks like fatty liver and uric acid. Glycemic Index (GI) alone doesn’t reflect true health risks. Low-GI foods can still burden the liver, insulin, and metabolism—especially with excess fructose or refined carbs. Liquid sugars in sweet drinks absorb faster. Choose whole foods, not just low-GI numbers. Health is systemic—don’t let just GI number mislead your choices.
