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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
