Basically all foods and carbs are not created equal. Basically High Glycemic foods create large fluctuations in blood glucose. This is not good as it stresses the pancreas and other organs. On the other hand low Glycemic foods produce small fluctuations in blood glucose levels, thus it is good to eat low-Glycemic Index foods.
Here are the benefits of following the Glycemic Index
