WTF?? since when?

[Smokescreen]

I always assumed Brown rice was a low GI food. Now i'm reading on some sites that it is a high GI. So which one is it? low or high?

bumpity bump

I've come across the same conclusion with alot of other foods too.... different sites have different G.I. numbers.

As long as you consume let's say... something simple (carb) like plain old gummy bears (lol) ... eat that with some whole grain really nutty bread, some ANPB...it's overall digestibitly is slowed by the other foods.

...just something else to keep in mind.

So your saying if I eat a moderate GI food with FAT like P.B. or say adding antoher Low GI food like Oatmeal. That it will slow down the carb? Turninng it almost kind of sort of into a low GI food???

Does that make any sense what I just said? LOL

lol..yah it makes sense... and from what i've read and learned from here. Yes... something like that, lol.

My body is waaaaaaaaaaay carb sensative... i'm going to have to plug... Glucorell-R because I swear by it and it's worked for me.

Other manufactures/companys do make an R-ALA with the same high potency and with Biotin as well... but it's damn pretty much the same price, i've looked into it.

Depends which rice you are using. Long grain rice has more amylose in it as the primary starch. There are 2 types of starch in rice: Amylopectin and Amylose. Amylose has a lower GI rating than that of amylopectin. The difference between brown rice and white rice is usually nothing nutrionally speaking, except that brown rice has more non-soluble fiber (and some B-vitamins). Non soluble fiber does nothing to lower the GI of a food.

Here is a thread from a few years ago that I went into detail on what effects the GI of foods:

A lot of places on the web are fucking confusing the hell out of me. Some say that stone ground whole wheat bread, rye bread, brown rice, pumpernickle bread, rice cakes are all low GI. But some sites say that these are medium GI. And believe it or not...but some do say that these are all HIGH GI!!!!

So that is why I'mm so fucking confused!

I don't put too much faith into the whole GI thing. I read from several sites that pretty much take starved and physically exhausted people and then see how the foods react. I'm sure they'll get different results since people are so different.

I think carrots have a high GI. I'm still going to eat carrots. I don't think anyone has ever gotten fat from them.

yea, basically what sarge said. protein/fats both slow down the digestion of the carbs, so if you are not eating the carbs alone the gi system is truly meaningless..at least thats my opinion
