Effect of Palm Sugar on Blood Glucose Concentrations (LIPS)

March 9, 2012 updated by: Wageningen University

Investigation of the Glycaemic Index of Arenga Pinnata Palm Sugar

The purpose of this study is to determine by how much, the ingestion of palm sugar increases blood glucose concentrations and what the corresponding glycaemic index is. The investigators estimate that the glycaemic index will be 68 (equal to that of sucrose).
