Carbs anyone? Carb Primer here: Simple Carbs strictly speaking are sugars in all of its various forms. Complex carbs are all other foods that come from the earth, and dairy. HOWEVER, there are complex carbs that are metabolized the same way as simple carbs and for many of us, will spike our blood sugar as quickly and as high as sugars will. These are the foods that have been stripped of their fiber and other nutrients. White rice, White flour and foods made with white rice and white flour are, for all practical purposes, simple carbs. Call them simple carb imitators. Complex carbs can also be categorized into groups that affect our blood sugar in different ways. Let me know if you want to hear more about that!

Tracking my blood sugars has taught me a lot about how effective choosing real ingredients over ultra processed food is. As well how MOVEMENT is something most of us just don’t do much after meals.

Absolutely not disagreeing with this video - milk's a great source of nutrition. But I do find it quite misleading coming from Fonterra. As we saw with Fonterra's strategy u-turn last week, currently 80% of the milk solids Fonterra processes are turned into ingredients rather than being drunk as glasses of milk. Globally, 90% of dairy is produced in the country where it's consumed. That's the stuff being drunk as milk and eaten as cheese, providing great nutrition for populations. New Zealand represents a fifth of the dairy that crosses an international border, and over half of the world's exports of whole milk powder. While some of this may end up in dairy-like products like yoghurts and cheap reconstituted milk where the nutritional value is recognised, quite often it's also ending up in ultra-processed foods made by the likes of Nestle and Mars. When it comes to the argument that alternatives made from plants or precision fermentation will never match the complexity and nutrition of dairy milk, on the whole, I agree. But when milk is separated into its component parts and sold as an ingredient for processed foods, that's a different stroy entirely - it's becoming increasingly technically viable by the day, and there are multiple drivers pushing our key customers in this direction. Celebrating the nutritional value of milk is noble, but it's not going to be a factor which differentiates New Zealand commodity dairy ingredients from emerging alternatives.

While 60g of a whole fruit, 60g of pureed fruit, and 60g of fruit that has been juiced have the same #carbs and similar #GlycemicIndex (GI), GI only indicates how quickly a food or drink will increase blood sugar, not how much higher blood sugar will go. This article elaborates. https://lnkd.in/gPgNe-6Q
