Ola Foods Low Glycemic Index Coconut Sugar

It is specifically rated as GI 35. Low glycemic index releases glucose more slowly and steadily, and is therefore better absorbed by the body to control blood sugar levels. In comparison, most products made from cane sugar have a GI of around 68. This fact makes coconut sugar a preferable choice for diabetics who must follow a low-glycemic diet. Cancer, obesity and cardiovascular disease are linked to excessive consumption of refined and high-glycemic carbohydrates. Coconut sugar does not carry the same risks of these diseases and thus offers a natural, nutritious alternative to cane sugar and artificial sweeteners. Use it in baking, to sweeten chocolate recipes or as an alternative to sweeten drinks.
