Lack of effect of salt on the glucose and insulin response to mashed potatoes, white rice, and lima beans.
The effect of 4.25 g of table salt on the insulin and glucose response to three forms of carbohydrate with varying glycemic indices was studied. There was no statistical difference in the peak response or area under the glucose or insulin curves for any of these foods in the presence of salt. It is concluded that salt has no effect on the absorption of starches.
