Glycemic index, according to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute, is the glucose response of an individual to food relative to a standard glucose solution. Low glucose index food is good for proper control of diabetes mellitus and it has shown to lower the LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol or known as the bad cholesterol. It has been also noted that it is also good for weight maintenance, thus preventing obesity or being overweight.

For the health conscious consumers and diabetics, it can be considered to be the best sweetener substitute because of the many benefits that it has to offer. Tests done by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) and Department of Science Technology (DOST) of the Philippines has revealed a low glycemic index (GI) of 35 compared to that of cane sugar's glycemic index of 50.
