GI is Glycemic Index: Glycemic Index (also known as Glycemic Index). GI is a numerical value used to measure the degree to which various carbohydrate (sugar)-containing foods affect blood sugar after eating, thereby indicating the effect of food on blood sugar. Normally, after the carbohydrates in food are decomposed in the digestive tract, they finally become glucose and enter the blood, and blood sugar rises immediately. This article lists the glycemic index of a series of commonly used sweeteners.

The low glycemic index diet is based on the concept of glycemic index. Studies have shown that a low glycemic index diet can reduce weight, lower blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. However, people criticized its ranking of foods for being unreliable and failing to reflect the overall health of the food.
