Step 4Personal experience
Your results will vary. Your body is a complicated machine, and there are lots of inputs and effects. Some people can process lots of sugar and starch without any effect, while others will get pimples just thinking about candy. Exercise also plays a role, as it makes you more insulin sensitive, which is a good thing.
My personal experience seems to fall pretty squarely into this theory. I eat really well and have fairly clear skin. However, at certain events like birthdays or weddings, I just can't resist overeating refined sugar and starch, and inevitably end up with a pimple or two. For example, my last birthday party involved a seven-layer carrot cake, of which I ate an entire slice (the equivalent of nearly a half a normally sized carrot cake). This resulted in a few pimples over the next week.
Similarly, a friend would refuse to eat any pizza. He had determined, through trial and error, that a few slices of pizza would result in zits.

You're either mistaken or taking this out of context. If you have pure glucose (for example, in an energy drink), and diluted it with sucrose in water, the GI of the mixture would be less then the glucose only solution because sucrose has a lower GI then glucose (it has to bebroken down into it's components, glucose and fructose, and converted to glucose). If you have broccoli and add sugar, the GI of the mixture will most certainly go up.
