Which of the following statements about glycemic load is TRUE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "The lower the glycemic load of a meal, the lower the post-meal rise in blood glucose" is true, as glycemic load takes into account both the quantity and quality of carbohydrates in a food, and a lower glycemic load indicates slower and lower post-meal blood glucose rise. The other statements are not entirely accurate: A) glycemic load is a measure of both the quality (glycemic index) and quantity of carbohydrates in a food, B) the glycemic load of a meal is derived from the sum of the glycemic loads of individual foods, and C) while some studies suggest potential benefits of a low glycemic-load diet, there is debate and inconsistent evidence.
