biostudies-literatureUnknown12(21)Yang YX<h4>Aim</h4>To determine the GI of some cereals and tubers produced in China in an effort to establish the database of glycemic index (GI) of Chinese food.<h4>Methods</h4>Food containing 50 g carbohydrate was consumed by 8-12 healthy adults after they have been fasted for 10 h and blood glucose was monitored for 2 h. Glucose was used as reference food. GI of food was calculated according to a standard method.<h4>Results</h4>GI of 9 types of sugar and 60 kinds of food were determined.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Food GI is mainly determined by nature of carbohydrate and procession. Most of cereals and tubers produced in China have similar GI with their counterparts produced in other countries.World journal of gastroenterology3430-3https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4087878biostudies-literatureGlycemic index of cereals and tubers produced in China.PMC4087878Yang YXXiang SXYu LDZhou SYCui HMWang YWang HWfalseGlycemic index of cereals and tubers produced in China.<h4>Aim</h4>To determine the GI of some cereals and tubers produced in China in an effort to establish the database of glycemic index (GI) of Chinese food.<h4>Methods</h4>Food containing 50 g carbohydrate was consumed by 8-12 healthy adults after they have been fasted for 10 h and blood glucose was monitored for 2 h.
