Glycemic Effect
For carbohydrates, structure, digestion speed, portion size, fiber, processing and combination with protein and fat matter. The same carbohydrate component may behave differently in whole food and in a sweet drink.

Carbohydrate response differs with diabetes, insulin resistance, sport, pregnancy, stress, poor sleep and gastrointestinal disease. One person may tolerate berries or yogurt well, while the same portion worsens glucose control or bloating in another.
