Answer 2

Pulses Have a Low Glycemic Index

Twenty years ago, when the concept of the glycemic index was first being developed, researchers were surprised to discover that baked potatoes had a higher GI value and, therefore, a greater effect on blood glucose than ice cream! Today, the GI values for hundreds of foods are known.1,7 For instance, baked and instant potatoes, corn flakes, French fries and plain bagels have a high GI of 70 or more, meaning they raise blood glucose more than other foods. Pulses like lentils, kidney beans, split peas and chickpeas have a low GI of 55 or less, indicating that their effect on blood glucose is less than that of many other carbohydrate-containing foods.8 The lower the food's glycemic index, the better the blood glucose control.
The Glycemic Index of Some Common Foods
High GI Foods Low GI Foods
Food Glycemic Index* Food Glycemic Index*
White rice, boiled 45 - 104 Baked beans 40 - 56
Boiled potato 54 - 101 Lentils (boiled) 18 - 52
Corn flakesTM 72 - 92 Apple (raw) 28 - 44
White bread 67 - 87 Chickpeas (dried, boiled) 36
Jelly beans 76 - 80 Yoghurt 14 - 36
Porridge (from whole rolled oats) 42 - 75 Hommos 6

* Values from www.glycemicindex.com 1

The glycemic index is a method of ranking carbohydrate foods by their ability to raise blood glucose following a meal. To determine a food's GI, a standard amount of the test food is eaten, and then the rise in blood glucose is compared with that of an equivalent amount of a standard or reference food (white bread or pure glucose). The reference food is given a GI value of 100. The GI values differ according to which food was used as the reference food. For example, when glucose was the reference food in a Canadian study, sweet corn had a GI of 59; when white bread was the reference food, it had a GI of 84. Glucose was the reference food for the items listed in the table above.
