glycemic index and metabolic syndrome

Glycemic index refers to a numerical ranking system that indicates how quickly a carbohydrate-containing food increases blood sugar levels after consumption.

This syndrome increases the risk of developing other serious health problems like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
