The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives Americans the right to bear arms, but the Amendment, which was published in 1791 (and was
|itself inspired by the English Bill of Rights of 1689) is used by many
to justify Americans’ “god-given right” to bear arms. Federal US law doesn’t even mandate background checks on guns, although several states still require such checks.

# Food / Farming / GMOs / Chemicals / Other What is the glycemic index (GI)? Carbohydrates are found in breads, cereals, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. They’re an essential part of a healthy diet. When you eat any type of carb, your digestive system breaks it down into simple sugars that enter the bloodstream. Not all carbs are the same, as different types have unique effects on blood sugar.
The three GI ratings are:
Low: 55 or fewer
Medium: 56–69
High: 70 or more
