"Beta-Carotene for Better Blood SugarCarrots perfectly illustrate the difference between the glycemic index(GI) and the glycemic load (GL). When the GI first made waves amonghealth enthusiasts, carrots got a bad rap for raising blood sugar.That's because the type of sugar they contain is transformed intoblood sugar very rapidly -- almost as fast as table sugar. But sincethe amount of sugar is low, carrots are still on the menu.Thank goodness they are, because they're one of the richest sources ofbeta-carotene, which is linked to a lower risk of diabetes. One studyfound that people with the highest blood levels of beta-carotene had32 percent lower insulin levels (suggesting better blood sugarcontrol) than those with the lowest beta-carotene levels.
