About the work
Family-friendly guide to why the same food can yield different glycemic index (GI) values. It covers sugar types and starch composition (amylose vs. amylopectin); how cooking gelatinizes starch and cooling induces retrogradation; and how thermal/mechanical processing, particle size, fiber, protein and fat shift glucose absorption speed. Includes everyday examples (al dente pasta, basmati rice, boil-cool-reheat potatoes, whole fruit vs. juices) plus plate-building tips that pair carbs with vegetables/protein/olive oil. It closes with GI limitations and encourages tracking each child’s real-world response rather than relying only on tables. Se registra el contenido y todo el copy del PDF.
