💡 Net carbs: total carbs minus fiber. Fruit is naturally sweeter than vegetables, but its fiber slows sugar absorption.
📊 Glycemic index (GI): read more about glycemic index and load, and their effects on health.
⚖️ Glycemic load (GL): combines the GI with how many carbs are actually there (GL = GI × net carbs / 100). A fruit can have a high GI but a low GL if it holds few carbs (watermelon, for instance). Low GL < 10, moderate 10-20, high > 20 (glucose = 100).
