A comparison of the glycemic index of sorghum and other commonly consumed grains
Little in vivo research on glycemic index (GI) values or the digestive impact of sorghum based food products currently exists. Because sorghum is a gluten-free grain, its utilization in the United States is growing, especially in baking applications. Information on how sorghum affects blood sugar …

Got Breadfruit? Marshallese Foodways and Culture in Springdale, Arkansas
… Springdale. The practice of substituting higher-Glycemic Index (GI) white rice for lower-GI breadfruit began in the RMI during the 1930s and has carried over to the Springdale community today, where 46.5% of Marshallese adults have type II diabetes (a disease associated with higher dietary GI). …

Influence of dietary treatment on the abdominally obese postmenopausal woman
… was to determine the effects of a low and high glycemic index(GI) diet on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Subjects were randomly assigned to either the 1200 calorie low or high GI diet for 4 weeks. Subjects were then switched to the diet not followed initially for an additional 4 weeks. Both …
