Nutrition Overview
What Makes This Version Different
The calories figure here (0 per 100g) is the family's floor: well below the family average, where the variants run 0-22 per 100g. On sodium, this version lands mid-range: 4 mg per 100g, inside a family spread of 0 to 10 mg per 100g.
Verdicts split across the family: the gentlest option is Yumberry (GL 0.5) and the heaviest is Yumberry (GL 0.5); this one is no verdict. The rest of the family: With added vitamins and minerals, Non-carbonated, Well.

💡 Check Your Own Response
Individual blood sugar responses vary. Use a glucose meter to understand how this food affects you personally.
💡 Glycemic Load Over Glycemic Index
GL accounts for both the speed AND amount of carbohydrate, making it more practical for real-world eating than GI alone.
💡 Pair Carbs With Protein
Adding protein to a carbohydrate-containing meal slows digestion and helps prevent blood sugar spikes.
💡 Fiber Is Your Friend
Dietary fiber slows carbohydrate absorption. Aim for at least 3g of fiber per serving of carbohydrate foods.

Quick Answers
Is water tap drinking good for diabetes?
water tap drinking is rated 'limit' for diabetes (GL 0). This doesn't mean never — it means be strategic. Tiny portions, paired with protein and fiber, can reduce the impact.
What is the glycemic load of water tap drinking?
water tap drinking's glycemic load: 0 (per 100g). Unlike GI which only measures speed, GL accounts for actual carbohydrate quantity — making it the more practical number for diabetes management.
How quickly does water tap drinking raise blood sugar?
After eating water tap drinking, you can expect a low blood sugar response. The GL of 0 means a gentle rise. This can vary based on what else you eat with it.
Is the GI value accurate?
The GI of 41.3 for water tap drinking is estimated (Tier 3), not directly ISO-tested on this specific food. It is based on the weighted average GI of foods in the Beverages category from the International GI Tables (Atkinson et al., 2021). Actual GI may vary by variety, ripeness, cooking method, and individual response. We display estimated values with full transparency so you can make informed decisions.
Why is there no glycemic data for this food?
Glycemic index (GI) data is not available for water tap drinking because it has not been tested using ISO-standard methodology. This is common for mixed dishes, restaurant foods, and specialty items where the GI varies too much by preparation to assign a single number. Instead, use the total carbohydrates (0g/100g) and fiber (0g/100g) to estimate blood sugar impact. Higher fiber and lower total carbs generally mean a more manageable glucose response.
