Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Because the amount of carbohydrate contained in a typical portion of food also influences glycemic response, the concept of glycemic load was created to more accurately define a food's impact on blood glucose levels. It takes into account both the glycemic index of a food and the amount of carbohydrate in a serving of food. Glycemic indication and glycemic level do not exist. The glycemic response is a physiologic reaction impacted by the glycemic load.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The DASH style diet and traditional Mediterranean style diet are consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 and MyPlate eating plans.
