Behind the Table

The evidence, decisions, and updates behind the tables.

Dated checks of food, cooking, nutrition science, and label claims. Each article answers the question first, cites its claims, and records whether our tables changed. Articles do not move rankings on their own; rankings follow the published rules on Methods, and every table number traces back to Sources. Sourced data, not medical advice.

Is brown rice easier on blood sugar than white rice?

Not on glycemic index: brown rice reads 68 in the international tables, above white long-grain’s pooled 62 — and white reads 73 in that same table, so the order flips by source. Glycemic load per serving nearly ties. Brown rice’s real, documented edge is fiber (1.6 vs 0.4 g per 100 g), not GI.
