[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 950848, member: 12578"] But you still have to take into account the amount of carbohydrate in your 100g portion, I use the GI and have good control, partly because of it but I don't use it to compare apples with pasta. or bananas* If I choose to eat rice then I would go for a lower GI rice ,I would compare the effect of 100g of one sort of rice with another. I could even compare it with other cereals because they all have almost the same percentage of carbohydrates. 150 g (cooked) of Jasmine rice has a GI of 108, higher than glucose. By comparison 150g of Uncle Ben's converted rice has a GI of 38. Both have a similar carb content .The GI helps me to choose between these very similar grains .(though as someone who cares about nutritional quality, I would go for a slightly higher GI rice that was whole grain) It would be daft though to compare that with 150g of new potatoes because 150g of new potatoes contain slightly more than half the amount of carbohydrates ie 21 g of carb compared with 40g in 150g of rice. That's where your chart is wrong; you need to compare similar amounts of available carbohydrates. *Bananas are really difficult to assess because their GI depends on ripeness, unripe bananas contain a lot of resistant starch which is not digested in the small intestine. This will have an effect on postprandial glucose and RS might even be beneficial to people with diabetes. [/QUOTE]
