In 1981, an Australian research team developed a method of evaluating carbohydrates based on their immediate effect on blood glucose. What can be reasonably concluded from glycemic index research? a. The higher the glycemic index, the greater the potential of the carbohydrate to promote obesity. b. Because starches are complex carbohydrates, they have a lower glycemic index than all sugars. c. A variety of factors, including dietary fat, dietary soluble fiber, and cooking method, affect the glycemic index, d. The lower the glycemic index, the more valuable the carbohydrate is as an energy source.

00:01 Hello, this is biology instructor nicole.

00:02 Let's take a look at this question here about glycemic index.

00:06 So in 1981, an australian research team developed a method of evaluating carbohydrates based on their immediate effect on blood glucose.

00:17 What can reasonably be reasonably concluded from the glycemic index research? so the glycemic index is an index that rates carbohydrates, base.

00:32 On their immediate effect on blood glucose.

00:40 What can we conclude from this? a, the higher the glycemic index, the greater the potential of carbohydrate to promote obesity.

00:50 B, starches are complex carbohydrates.

00:54 Because they are complex carbohydrates, they have a lower glycemic index than all sugars.

00:59 C, a variety of factors including dietary fat, dietary soluble fiber, and cooking method affect the glycemic index.

01:08 D, the lower the glycemic index, the more valuable the carbohydrate is as an energy source.

01:15 All right, so let's analyze these a little bit.

01:17 A, let's go back and look at that.

01:19 The higher the gi glycemic index, for short, the greater the potential to promote obesity.

01:25 That sounds like quite a leap from higher glycemic index to obesity.

01:29 There are far too many other factors involved to draw that conclusion.

01:34 From the glycemic index alone...
