Glycemic index testing is a little weird - the researchers feed the test subjects 100 g. of the test food and then test the blood sugar rise in response, and average it. The control group eat either the same amount of white bread or glucose tablets. So on the table we're looking at, the left column is compared to white bread and the right column is compared to glucose tablets.

That way you aren't looking at glycemic response in a vaccuum, you're comparing it to an equal amount of white bread or glucose.

Looks to me like beans, peas, lentils and barley are much healthier than rice! At least for me.

One of the things I've read is that 75% of the people in this country need to reduce the fat in their diets to lose weight, but 25% need to reduce carbohydrates. I'm in the latter group, for sure.
