glycemic index
sure would be nice if part of the FDA label on food included the glycemic index, instead of just the carb count. I've been looking online, but the same item (unless it's a raw veg or fruit) varies a lot depending on which index you use.
Amazingly, found out that the glycemic index Uncle Ben's Converted rice is around the same (maybe even a little less) than brown rice. Still not something you will eat unlimited amounts of. Hope this is true. Brown rice has a gram of fiber, though, and UB's has 0.
I think Freeda had a post a while back explaining the glycemic index a lot better than I can.
