Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 596235" data-source="post: 2755625">[The] four starchy control foods, included frozen corn, or creamed corn; macaroni; instant white potato flakes; and long-grain white rice.[The NHS] study examined the minimum effective dose of the six most commonly consumed beans required to significantly attenuate PBGR [postprandial blood glucose response] compared to commonly consumed starchy foods. The minimum effective dose of beans to lower the glycemic response compared to corn is ≥½ cup. However, since the differences between beans and macaroni, corn and potato were larger than that between beans and corn, there was enough power in the ¼ cup studies to demonstrate statistically significant differences. Thus, the minimum effective dose of beans to lower the glycemic response compared to macaroni, rice or potato is ≤¼ cup.</blockquote>
