  A) A comparison is made between the blood glucose response caused by 25 g of pure glucose and 25 g of a food sample.
  B) Serial blood glucose levels are drawn after eating 25 g of a food sample and compared to a chart on blood glucose levels after eating 25 g of sucrose.
  C) Serial blood glucose levels are drawn after eating 50 g of pure sucrose and compared to blood glucose levels after eating 50 g of a food sample.
  D) A comparison is made between the blood glucose response caused by 50 g of pure glucose and 50 g of a food sample.

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.
