    Gastric emptying for specific foods may be key to managing deadly

      The rate of gastric emptying is a major measure of the glucose and
      cardiovascular responses to oral carbohydrates. Now, a team of
    Australian
      physiologists has produced evidence that the gastric emptying, or nutrient
      absorption, for specific foods, may hold the answer for dietary management
      of deadly illnesses affecting the elderly population.
