Shredded wheat has a glycemic index of about 70. For reference sucrose or processed sugar (50% fructose and 50% glucose) has a glycemic index of about 60. You eat shredded wheat you eat a big ole bowl of sugar.

The glycemic index is a steaming pile of horse manure. If you eat huge quantities of almost anything, your blood sugar will spike and/or you will gain weight. So many people have been bamboozled by this index, they are avoiding whole food groups because of this arbitrary index. In doing so, people cut out food that has nutrition their bodies need.

Sorry, but I will continue eating shredded wheat, fruit, pizza and pasta...in reasonable amounts.
