Shows the depth of ignorance of asian diets, makes assumptions not in
evidence. Even with the lower gi of rice if one chows down on 3 or so
heaping bowls of it at every meal, in the rice growing areas of course,
the glucose impact remains. For breakfast another kind of rice with a
very much higher gi is eaten as a grule, carbs up the ying yang.
I estimate that 4 to 5 cups of rice makes the 3 to 4 bowls mentioned
above. You do the math and multiply by 3 to get the daily carb intake:
Rice, cooked, NFS Serving: cup, cooked
Grams: 158.00 Calories (kcal): 203.47
Protein (gm): 4.21 Fat (gm): 0.44
Carb (gm): 44.09 Fiber (gm): 0.63
In those areas where other steamed grains are the staple and /or where
noodles from various grains especially wheat are the staple this is not
relevant. In other parts of s. asia bread is a good part of the diet as
well as various other grains and legums and tubers.
Your god atkins must be flipping in his grave. No matter how you try to
slice and dice the 70 percent little fact it will just not go away.

Comparison of serum glucose, insulin, and glucagon responses to
different types of complex carbohydrate in noninsulin-dependent
diabetic patients
PA Crapo, J Insel, M Sperling and OG Kolterman
We have studied the acute effects of oral ingestion of dextrose, rice,
potato, corn, and bread on postprandial serum glucose, insulin, and
glucagon responses in 20 diabetic subjects with nonketotic, noninsulin
requiring fasting hyperglycemia. The carbohydrate loads were all
calculated to contain 50 g of glucose. The data demonstrate that 1)
dextrose and potato elicited similar postprandial serum glucose
responses whereas rice and corn elicited lower responses, with bread
intermediate; 2) postprandial insulin responses were relatively flat
but rice ingestion led to significantly lower insulin responses than
did potato; 3) urinary glucose excretion during the 3 h after
carbohydrate ingestion was greatest following dextrose and least after
rice and corn. In conclusion, there is a range in the magnitude of
postprandial hyperglycemia after ingestion of different complex
carbohydrates in diabetic patients with fasting hyperglycemia and
emphasis on the use of the less hyperglycemic starches could be of
therapeutic value in controlling hyperglycemia.
