Kashi or Coke?

A friend who eats Kashi for breakfast every morning asked about the glycemic index of the cereal. She's been told it's super healthy. Guess what? It came as a shock to both of us that the GI value for Kashi is 65, while the GI value of Coca Cola is 63. Those values are on the border between high and medium glycemic. That means the "healthy cereal" stimulates an increase in blood sugar levels and insulin levels and stress levels. Now who needs that for breakfast?
