Eat Blue Tortillas!

Blue?? I think I've seen tortilla chips that were different colors but I sure don't remember any that are blue. However, I found this fascinating and will have to check into it:

Blue tortillas may help dieters, diabetic
CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI) -- People with dieting blues should try swapping white corn tortillas for blue, according to a study in Mexico, suggesting colored flatbreads are healthier.

Scientists in Mexico found that tortillas made from blue corn had less starch and a lower glycemic index than their white counter parts, and the blue tortillas had 20 percent more protein than white, according to the study published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture.

Foods with a lower glycemic index are considered healthier as they slowly release sugar into the bloodstream reducing the fluctuations in blood glucose and insulin levels, said study author Juscelino Tovar of the Universidad Central de Venezuela in Caracas.

Low glycemic index foods are said to have long-term health benefits, reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes as well as aiding and maintaining weight loss, according to Tovar.

One important benefit of the lower glycemic index blue tortillas is their potential role in preventing or controlling metabolic syndrome, a combination of disorders that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

The blue coloring in the blue corn is due to the presence of anthocyanins -- the same health-promoting compounds found in berries and red wine.

I am looking for foods that have a low glycemic index number so this is worth looking into. I guess health food stores would have blue tortillas, even if the regular grocery store doesn't?
