Dashes indicate unmeasured or unreported values, although a graphic representation may be available. Values are based on test meals containing 50 g of available carbohydrate and tested on healthy participants. F, female; M, male.

2

Values based on a glucose reference and are mean ± SD; any reported SEM values were converted to SD values for consistency. Classification of the glycemic index (48): low, <55; intermediate, 55–69; high, 70–100.

3

Divided by 1.4 to convert the values from a white bread reference index to glucose reference (99).

Meal provides ∼54 g of carbohydrate instead of 50 g, and 272 g of mashed potato were used instead of the 362 g used for other meals.
