tiOn:

Balt7Triat is
the difference
between "gly-
cemic index"
and "glycemic.
load"? Thanks. Val.

ns.wer: Dear Val, The gly-
cemic index (GI) is a sys-
tem of numerical ranking
(0-100) based on the amount/speed
that blood su g ar rises after intake
of certain carbohydrate foods.

Carbohydrate foods that release
glucose rapidly have a high GI
(e.g., pure glucose and white bread
top the index at 100 each).
-4-- Carbohydrate foods that re-
( lease glucose gradually have
a low GI (e.g., oatmeal,
1-(/ legumes and sweet potato,
which are less than 55).

Enter the glycemic load (GL),
which takes the GI further by
adjusting for total carbohydrates
according to this formula: GL =
GI/100 x grams carbohydrates per
typical servin g . A low GL food is
considered 10 or less, medium 11-
19 and high would be 20 or more.

The GI/GL is not supported by all
health professionals, so you should
consult your health provider before
you incorporate it into your diet.
