Oat Milk and Blood Sugar
The Surprising Truth You Need to Know:
You might think oat milk is a healthier choice, but did you know it can actually spike your blood sugar more than dairy milk? Even the unsweetened kind is packed with starches that break down into glucose quickly, leading to those unwanted blood sugar swings. And with many commercial oat milks sneaking in added sugars, the impact can be even more noticeable.
Dairy Milk: A Better Option?
Dairy milk does contain natural sugars (lactose), but here's the good news: its fat and protein content help slow down the absorption of sugar, especially in whole milk. It has a much gentler effect on your blood sugar than you'd expect, especially compared to oat or rice milk.
Your Best Bets for Blood Sugar Control:
If you’re serious about keeping blood sugar in check, unsweetened almond or coconut milk should be your go-tos. They're super low in carbs, which means they have almost no impact on your glucose levels. Whole dairy milk is another great option if you want a more moderate choice.
But if you’re reaching for oat or rice milk, be aware – they’re more likely to send your blood sugar on a rollercoaster ride.
Making the Smart Choice:
Choosing the right milk matters more than you might think for managing blood sugar. Next time you pour a glass, consider the impact it could have on your body!
