The use of the glycemie Index in predicting the blood glucose response to mixed meals
Abstract
There has been much interest in the use of the glycemic index (GI). A recent study reporting plasma glucose responses to mixed meals containing fat and protein concluded that the results were totally disparate from what would have been expected from published GI values of the foods fed. However, this conclusion was based upon an inappropriate assessment of the data using absolute rather than incremental blood glucose response areas. The present report demonstrates how data may be analyzed to make use of the GI values of individual foods to predict the GI of mixed meals (r = 0.987; p less than 0.02). It is concluded that the GI concept applies well to mixed meals containing fat and protein.

Three previous studies found lower glycaemic response in freshly prepared parboiled rice samples compared with non-parboiled rice.
“Three previous studies, by Wolever [13], Larsen [14], and Chitra [15], have investigated the commercially obtained parboiled rice products (processed by modernised parboiling process) and found lower glycaemic response in the freshly prepared parboiled rice samples compared with non-parboiled”

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.
