In this new Glucofitness episode, we dive into the world of ice creams labeled as "0% sugar" to discover if they truly deliver on their promises. Many products on the market claim to be a healthy alternative, but their impact on blood glucose can vary significantly. We will analyze two popular brands, one from Chile and one from Mexico, purchased directly from the supermarket to provide an unbiased and data-driven evaluation.

The objective is clear: to determine how these ice creams affect glucose in the body. Using a glucose sensor, we monitor the glycemic response in real-time after consumption. This methodology allows us to observe whether unexpected glucose spikes occur or if, on the contrary, they are a safe option for those looking to control their blood sugar levels, whether due to diabetes, insulin resistance, or simply a healthier lifestyle.

We will explore the nutritional composition of these ice creams and discuss potential ingredients that could influence the glycemic response, despite their "0% sugar" label. Understanding the relationship between sweeteners, hidden carbohydrates, and their impact on metabolic health is crucial for making informed decisions about our diet.

Are these ice creams truly suitable for glycemic control, or are there surprises behind their formulation? Join us in this experiment to unveil the real impact of "sugar-free" ice creams on glucose and learn how to better choose your desserts.
