GI is a lab curve

GI 是实验室里的一条曲线

You take a bite of rice; in the small intestine the starch is broken into glucose, absorbed into blood, and blood glucose starts to rise — the glycemic index (GI) measures how steep that rise is.

It's measured like this: a group of healthy, fasted volunteers each eat a food containing 50 g of available carbohydrate (roughly total carbs minus fiber); the area under their 2-hour blood-glucose curve is compared with the area after eating the same amount of pure glucose, with glucose set at 100. Jenkins and colleagues first proposed this method in 1981.

So a high GI tells you only one thing: at this standard portion, the food raises blood glucose fast and high. It doesn't tell you whether the food is healthy or whether you should eat it, and it isn't your personal response — because GI is the average of a small group of people, usually only 5 to 10 per group, not your curve.
