Glycemic Index is a system of classification of different foods with significant levels of carbohydrates based on how they affect blood glucose levels after being consumed. In this study we will compare glycemic index of different varieties
Glycemic Index is a system of classification of different foods with significant levels of carbohydrates based on how they affect blood glucose levels after being consumed. Despite being a significant parameter of blood glucose, GI does not depict the effect of the food when taken in a controlled recommended amount, and so the Glycemic Loads (GL) must also be calculated, thereby measuring the impact on glycemic levels after consumption of standard food portion sizes. Dates are high energy foods consumed in various parts of the world, are known to be a source of several important nutrients and are also shown to have significant impacts in preventing illnesses due to their anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial actions as well as preventative action against oxidative reactions The greatly frequent consumption of dates necessitates the identification of their GI and GL to ensure whether consumption is beneficial and safe for individuals. The objective of the study is to determine and compare the values of GI and GL of three varieties of dates in order to assess their safe consumption by individuals
