"The glycemic index predicts how much glucose you are going to absorb into your blood, compared to pure glucose. Brown bread has a lower glycemic index than table sugar. The teaspoon equivalent makes it easier to see how much a food raises blood sugar. For example, 150 g boiled rice will raise blood sugar as much as 10 teaspoons of sugar will do."

That is a great way to explain it by comparing to teaspoons of sugar, it would be nice to have a list of all the comparisons, I wonder if all rice is that high or is the brown rice any less. Thankfully I am not a big rice eater but I do like my potatoes
