The Claim
Consuming 50 grams of carbohydrates from 3G rice instead of white rice significantly reduces postprandial plasma glucose levels at 90 and 120 minutes in adults with obesity, with mean glucose levels of 0.52 ± 0.04 mmol/L and 0.06 ± 0.02 mmol/L respectively, compared to 2.58 ± 0.37 mmol/L and 1.47 ± 0.26 mmol/L after white rice.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In adults with obesity, eating 50 grams of carbohydrates from 3G rice results in lower blood glucose levels at 90 and 120 minutes after eating compared to eating the same amount of carbohydrates from white rice.
See the scientific wording
Consuming 50 grams of carbohydrates from 3G rice instead of white rice significantly reduces postprandial plasma glucose levels at 90 and 120 minutes in adults with obesity, with mean glucose levels of 0.52 ± 0.04 mmol/L and 0.06 ± 0.02 mmol/L respectively, compared to 2.58 ± 0.37 mmol/L and 1.47 ± 0.26 mmol/L after white rice, suggesting a potential dietary strategy to mitigate post-meal hyperglycemia in this population.
The undigested parts of 3G rice reach the lower gut and trigger cells there to release a hormone that tells the pancreas to make more insulin and less glucagon, while also slowing down how fast food moves through the stomach. This combination reduces how much sugar enters the blood after eating.
What the research says
1 studyWhen people with obesity ate 3G rice instead of white rice, their blood sugar after the meal dropped much lower—especially two hours later. This suggests 3G rice could help prevent big blood sugar spikes after eating.
