Yes. Both sugar and flour have a very high glycemic index, which means they both spike your blood sugars.
- White sugar has a glycemic index of 65 and a glycemic load of 65
- White flour has a glycemic index of 70–85, and a glycemic load of 53–65
What about BROWN sugar and WHOLEWHEAT flour?
With brown sugar, it just changed colors; it is not any healthier. With wholewheat flour, the glycemic index is slightly lower because of the increased fiber.
I recommend going for the most fiber-filled flour you can find. The fiber mix I use, which is virtually 5x more effective than Metamucil, can also double as flour. It’s an all purpose fiber mix with 16g of soluble fiber/serving.
