Abstract

Breakfasts of lentils or wholemeal bread of identical carbohydrate content were taken by seven healthy volunteers. The lentils produced a significant 71% (p less than 0.001) reduction in the blood glucose area and flattened the plasma insulin and gastric inhibitory polypeptide responses by comparison with the bread. In addition, the lentil breakfast was followed by a significantly flatter blood glucose response to the standard bread lunch which followed 4 h later (by 38%, p less than 0.01). The blood glucose pattern was mimicked by feeding the bread breakfast slowly over the 4 h before lunch. Giving a bread breakfast containing a quarter of the carbohydrate reduced the breakfast glucose profile but resulted in a significantly impaired blood glucose response to lunch (168% of control, p less than 0.01). These results, together with breath hydrogen studies, performed on a separate group of four volunteers, indicate that the flattened response to lentils is not due to carbohydrate malabsorption. Slow release or "lente" carbohydrate foods such as lentils may form a useful part of the diets of those with impaired carbohydrate tolerance.

  • The glycaemic responses elicited by lentils and by the continuous and quarter bread meals were significantly lower than the control bread breakfast response.

    “The glycaemic response elicited by lentils and the continuous and the quarter bread meals were significantly less than that of the control bread breakfast (Fig. 7).”

    From Glycaemic index methodology (2005) · cites this paper as Jenkins et al. (1982)

  • The second-meal response tended to be lower than control after the continuous bread breakfast but was significantly increased after the quarter bread breakfast.

    “The second-meal response tended to be less than control after the continuous bread breakfast but was significantly increased after the quarter bread breakfast (Fig. 7).”

    From Glycaemic index methodology (2005) · cites this paper as Jenkins et al. (1982)

  • The blood glucose response pattern after lentils was followed much more closely by the continuous meal than by the quarter bread meal.

    “However, the pattern of blood glucose response after lentils (Fig. 8) was followed much more closely by the continuous meal than by the quarter bread meal (Fig. 9).”

  • The second-meal response after lentils was 38% lower than after the control bread breakfast.

    “The second-meal response after lentils was 38 % less than that after the control bread breakfast (Fig. 7).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
