Most websites claim Sona Masoori has a glycemic index of 51. The only published clinical trial found puts it at 72. This documentary-style investigation traces rice from its 9,000-year-old origins to the real science behind India’s most argued-about food — covering arsenic testing data specific to Indian basmati and West Bengal groundwater, the actual GI numbers for six major Indian rice varieties, and what population studies genuinely say about rice and diabetes risk. Researched and written with primary sources, not repeated marketing claims.
