Ranks #10 Through #7 — The “Bad” Category
| Rank | Food | Blood Sugar Impact | The Problem |
|---|---|---|---|
| #10 | White rice | 🟡 High | Rapidly converts to glucose with almost no fiber to slow it down. A cup of white rice has a similar blood sugar impact to 12 teaspoons of sugar. |
| #9 | Flavored yogurt (low-fat) | 🟡 High | Marketed as healthy. A single 6oz container often contains 15–26g of added sugar — nearly as much as a candy bar. The “low-fat” label is the deception. |
| #8 | Instant oatmeal (flavored packets) | 🟡 High | Plain oats are healthy. Flavored instant packets are not. Added sugars, artificial flavors, and ultra-processing eliminate most of the blood sugar benefit. |
| #7 | Commercial salad dressings | 🟡 Moderate-High | Hidden sugar source. Two tablespoons of many popular ranch or balsamic dressings contain 4–8g of sugar. Americans dramatically underestimate this. |
