Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
To more accurately assess a food's impact on blood glucose response, the concept of glycemic index was developed. A food's glycemic index is determined by comparing the impact on blood glucose after 50 g of a food sample is eaten compared to the impact of 50 g of pure glucose or white bread.

Answer to Question 2

D
The reasonable certainty of no harm is a federal standard for pesticide residues in foods that replaces the former zero tolerance. This phrase is not used in connection with consumer guide-lines for food safety, international standards for food additives, or food industry standards for food production.
