1. The definition of food glycemic index:
The glycemic index (GI) of food refers to the rate at which a tested food causes an increase in blood sugar compared to standardized food (usually glucose), reflecting the ability of a food to cause an increase in blood sugar in the human body.
2. Development trend of low GI foods:
Research has shown that GI is closely related to health. Low GI diet has been widely confirmed to be one of the effective nutritional interventions against chronic diseases such as diabetes and overweight/obesity. Nowadays, the GI value closely related to "sugar control" has become one of the important reference indicators for consumers when choosing food. Low GI diets have gradually evolved into a healthier lifestyle, and the low GI food market is becoming increasingly active.
According to the Certification and Accreditation Regulations of the People's Republic of China, only products that have obtained the "low GI food certification" can use the certification mark on product packaging and promotional materials, providing consumers with a clear selection criterion to ensure that they can identify and choose truly healthy foods.
