It's an index of how fast your blood sugar will rise when you consume 50g of carbohydrates. This works well for high carbohydrate foods like bread, potatoes, rice, and sweets. <br /> <br />The problem comes in when you look at fruits, vegetables, prepared, and high fat foods. Carrots for example have a high GI (80), but it is unlikely that you would eat 50g of carbohydrates from carrots at a given time (approx 5-6 medium sized carrots). Ice cream has a low GI (mid-30's), but I would not necessarily consider it a food to eat on a daily basis. <br /> <br />The glycemic load is probably a better measure, since it takes portion size into account. However, it is very difficult to practically track glycemic index/load in everyday life since so many foods are mixed together, and our meals usually don't consist of one particular food. Honey is a high GI food, peanuts are not. What is the index/load when I eat a peanut butter and honey sandwich? On whole grain / or on white bread? Another issue is accuracy of the tests used to determine the GI. Peanuts for example have 2 values for the GI...13 and 23. <br /> <br />Depending on the situation, let's say for diabetes management, it may be better to use diabetic exchanges / carbohydrate counting, meal planning, and weight reduction. <br /> <br />A diet that consists predominantly of fresh products will have a lower GI. Eating high fiber foods with meals will slow down a rise in blood sugar, effectively changing the GI. <br /> <br />I hope that answers your question. <br /> <br />Thanks.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon, Aug 17 2009, 9:13 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Blog by Robert Zurflu (Registered Dietitian)</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Thanks - this is great information! <br /> <br />I have a question - would you please explain the difference between high and low glycemic index foods?
