D) Cheese
A
Feedback:
The glycemic index (GI) is a measurement of how foods containing carbohydrates (starchy foods such as potatoes, bread, or cereals) raise blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates are compared with a standard known carbohydrate, such as glucose or white bread. Some foods are known to raise blood glucose levels significantly and are considered to have a high GI. Whole grains, such as oatmeal; proteins, such as bacon; and dairy products, such as cheese, are less likely to raise the GI than is white bread.
