What is the glycemic index of red or black raspberries? Be careful, because there is a lot of misinformation out there about this topic. The first result in Google claims a GI of 32 for a 150g serving of red raspberries, but provides no source. We can’t find that number anywhere else (and hours were spent looking). Whether intentional or not, it appears fabricated. At least two other websites claim a GI of 40 for a 1/2 cup serving (which […]

[toc]The term “superfood” is used a lot, but what does it actually mean? The official definition just means a food that is nutrient dense but watch out because that can mean different things to different people. Some of the foods that marketers and ill-informed journalists reference as “super” are anything but. Or, they just have mediocre nutrition that is over-hyped.
