Beneficial carbohydrates


It’s largely known among healthcare experts and professionals that all authorities worldwide recommend a total carbohydrate intake approaching or exceeding half the daily energy intake. Carbohydrate quality awareness has increased among consumers as well who are more and more aware of a positive link between carbohydrates and health, particularly in the areas of glycemic index and slow-release carbohydrates for a sustained energy.

Here, you will find science-based resources containing helpful overview of the scientific evidence and insights built with experts in carbohydrate quality in cereal foods and glucose metabolism. These materials focus on the science behind slowly digestible starch and explain how it is translated into food process monitoring to postprandial metabolic responses.

You can even dig further into the Research on which the Resources are based to learn more about scientific findings around starch digestibility that support the benefits of the reduction of post-prandial metabolic responses.
