According to the Healthy China Initiative, the incidence rate of diabetes is 12.8% in China, with about 150 million patients, and the incidence rate of dyslipidemia is 18.6%, with about 160 million patients. Common rice has a relatively high percentage of digestible starch and is therefore considered as a kind of food with a high glycemic index (GI). Breeding new varieties of rice rich in resistant starch or slowly digestible starch can meet the needs of "diabetes and obesity" patients and make people eating healthy.
