Carb and fat contents of 'sample diet' foods

 

 

 The general guideline to prevent too much fluctuating blood-sugar levels is to consume 1 gram fat for every 2 grams sugars (total carbs) consumed.

Of course oil is the most efficient tool to prevent too strong blood sugar fluctuations...

 

 

 

 

Glucose contents are the amount of glucose plus half of the sucrose plus all the starch.

Carbs = carbohydrates = sugars

If there is no amount listed, it was not listed in my book...
