Carbs and Fiber in Butterscotch Topping Food Item: Butterscotch Ice Cream
Topping Butterscotch Topping and DietNot recommended by low carb diets, many toppings (like Butterscotch Topping) are 'empty-calorie' foods (high-calorie, minimal nutrition) with no dietary fiber. Moreover, food toppings are typically high in refined carb sugars and high on the Glycemic Index, which means they cause a rapid rise in blood-glucose levels, leading to excessive insulin production and a sudden drop in blood glucose. The longer-term health effects of high-GI foods include hyperglycemia, hyperinsulimia, obesity and other symptoms, known collectively as insulin resistance syndrome. Increased risk of diabetes is another possibility. See also Diabesity and Insulin Resistance. Bottom line: if you want to lose weight and stay healthy, keep your intake of refined sugar food-toppings like Butterscotch Topping, to a sensible minimum.
