Re: GI of banana breadFrom: Pat (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 29 May 2002 14:46:54 -0500 (CDT)
Your question raises another aspect about GI foods, and why some nutritionists don't bother with it. The GI of a food will vary, depending upon: how it is cooked, what is eaten with it, and how much is eaten. It is not a perfect science. And, some foods will affect someone a lot, while another a little. For example, one person might be able to eat carrots just fine, while another person might find carrots really cause cravings. And, if you eat a high glycemic carb with protein, or even another low glycemic carb, it can change how it is metabolized. So, about bannana bread: first of all, everyone makes a different recipe, so it really is hard to say. But, bananas by themsleves are like eating sugar. And of course, bannana bread has sugar and bananas and flour. But, it also has eggs and maybe milk. So, that might decrease the glycemic effect. What you need to do is try it, and see how you feel afterwards. If you eat it with a protein like cream cheese, it might not affect you. I have never liked bananas, so knowing eating them will affect my blood sugar, I just avoid them. It is a trial and error what is worse than something else. None of the rules are hard and fast. I just try to avoid any sort of breads all together, and I just feel better. Pat
