Hi,
The glycemic index of white flour bread is 75 which is considered high. But the glycemic load of white flour bread is 11 which is considered low. So is white flour bread good or bad for your acne?
Hope someone can help my out!
Thanks!
The white flour bread will pass to a lot of stages to be processed as food so those stages will increase the glycemic index.
Take as example the oven: when you make potatoes in oven, the glycemix index will be increased with 20-30%.
So that's the same with bread, it depends very much on the way of cooking to avoid increase in glycemic index.
the reason why white bread is bad for acne-prone people is because of the insulin spike it causes. the insulin spike causes a hormonal imbalance which leads to more oil production = acne. I'd recommend you to only eat 1 or 2 slices of white bread with fibrous food to slow down the digestion/prevent insulin spiking.
