Abstract
Glycemic and Insulinemic Responses to Isis Cookies and Danish Traditional Cookies in Healthy Subjects
Glycemic indices (GIs) and insulin responses are useful for measuring biological effects and consequences of available carbohydrates when designing healthy diets, particularly for people with or at risk of developing diabetes and others disorders such as metabolic syndrome. In this study, we investigated GIs and insulin (indirectly measured by C-peptide) responses of healthy participants to ISIS cookies (produced in Chekia, with no added sugar by ISIS Food Products, Denmark) and Danish traditional cookies (Cookie and Co).
