Pasta
Pasta generally, whether spaghetti or macaroni, have relatively low glycemic content. People do make a mistake of thinking pasta have a dangerous impact on their blood sugar levels. Do not be deceived; the portion you consume daily has a lot to do in determining whether your blood sugar level will be affected or not. Too much of any carbohydrate will surely raise blood glucose. Pasta has starch structures that make them be digested much more slowly. Asides that, the grains in pasta go through a sprouted process which causes them to be broken down before your meal. Spaghetti made from white durum wheat has a glycemic index of 44 which is considered really low according to the glycemic index chart. Macaroni, on the other hand, has a glycemic index of 47 which is still supposed to be low. [2]
