Ever noticed the glycemic index rating of tofu frozen dessert? It not only blows away regular ice cream in its ability to jack up your blood sugar, it is higher even than the pure sugars.

(Want liver stones ? Eat lots of Soy Delicious or Tofutti!)

Anything sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup is more glycemic than regular sugar, because HFCS is half glucose. Also, modified corn starch (e.g. maltodextrin) is even higher than glucose, and I've seen that in "low-sugar" ice creams. Companies that sell "low-sugar" foods sweetened with modified corn starch should have their a**es sued off.

Here are the G.I. numbers, glucose-based. Amazing... 115.

Fructose 22
Lactose 46
Honey 58
HF corn syrup 62
Sucrose 64
Glucose 96
Maltodextrin 105
Maltose 105

Ice cream, low fat 50
Ice cream 61
Tofu frozen dessert, non-dairy 115
