The glycemic index is about foods high in carbohydrates. Foods high in fat or protein don't cause your blood glucose level to rise much. Of course, low carb products (like the many we have in store) inherently have little impact on blood sugar levels.

The glycemic index is about the quality of the carbohydrates, not the quantity. A lot of people still think that it is plain table sugar that people with diabetes need to avoid. The experts used to say that, but the glycemic index shows that complex carbohydrates, like baked potatoes, can be even worse.

But not all carbohydrates act the same. Some are quickly broken down in the intestine, causing the blood glucose level to rise rapidly. These carbohydrates have a high glycemic index.

HOWEVER, this Friday (May 4th), the retail store will be closed for a full inventory count (Our website will still be online throughout.)

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Normal retail business hours will resume May 5th, 2007.

Problem is, with over 600 different products in our online store, browsing our site to locate those same products each time can be quite tedious! Our new Rapid Order feature will let you order items you've ordered before by using the product's model number (located on packing slips included with orders you've received before).

With this feature, you can add up to 30 different products of various quantities at a time (without "browsing") - saving you lots of time!

Once you have "seeded" your shopping cart with your regular favourite items, you can continue shopping as usual (browse other categories to add items or checkout.)

Your feedback is appreciated and we're always open to suggestions. Please also feel free to forward this to a friend if you found it useful.
