2- Soft drinks
Soft drinks are not considered healthy all the time, but drinking half a cup of them leads to an increase in blood sugar levels, because they contain carbohydrates that are high in relation to the presence of sugars in them.
3- Full-fat dairy products
Milk is one of the drinks that cause blood sugar to rise, and the reason is that it contains 12 grams of carbohydrates per cup of it.
Milk carbohydrates are a type of sugar called lactose, which is converted in the intestines into glucose and galactose, to be used by the body as an energy source, which leads to high blood sugar when consuming milk.
