Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Corn Starch

Metabolic Effect: Corn starch is a high glycemic index carbohydrate source and rapidly raises blood sugar levels when consumed. This can cause sudden increases in insulin levels.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming corn starch alone, using it with foods containing fiber and protein can help balance blood sugar. If used as a thickener in dishes, the amount should be noted.
Things to Consider: Corn starch is not rich in nutrients and contains a high amount of calories. Therefore, it is important for those who want to control their weight to limit their consumption.
Exercise Equivalent: You may need to walk at a moderate pace for about 30 minutes to burn the calories from corn starch. This emphasizes the importance of regular physical activity.
