Question #1
In human nutrition, the 'Glycemic Index' (GI) of a food measures:
A. The amount of dietary fiber present in the food
B. The total carbohydrate content per 100 grams
C. The caloric value of the food
D. The rate at which the food raises blood glucose levels after consumption

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a numerical scale (from 0 to 100) that measures how quickly a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood glucose levels compared to a reference food (usually pure glucose or white bread). Foods with a high GI (like white bread, sugary drinks) cause a rapid spike in blood sugar, while low GI foods (like whole grains, legumes) cause a slower, more gradual rise. It does not measure total carbohydrate amount.
