Notes: This is the definitive table (from http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.zip) for both the glycemic index and the glycemic load, reproduced here courtesy of the author, Professor Jennie-Brand Miller of the University of Sydney. It is based on a table published July 2002 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, pages 5-56. The Glycemic Index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how fast a carbohydrate triggers a rise in circulating blood sugar response. A GI is 70 or more is high, a GI is 56 to 69 inclusive is medium, and a GI of 55 or less is low. The Glycemic Load (GL) is a way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. A GI value tells you only how rapidly a particular carbohydrate turns into sugar. It doesnt tell you how much of that carbohydrate is in a serving of a particular food. A GL of 20 or more is high, a GL of 11 to 19 inclusive is medium, and a GL of 10 or less is low. Foods that have a low GI invariably have a low GL, while foods with an intermediate or high GI range from very low to very high GL. Both GI and GL are listed. The GI is of foods based on the glucose index, where glucose is set to equal 100. The other is the glycemic load, which is the glycemic index divided by 100 multiplied by its available carbohydrate content (i.e. carbohydrates minus fiber) in grams. (The Serv. size (g); column is the serving size in grams for calculating the glycemic load.) Endnotes:

NS, not specified; type 1 and type 2, subjects with type 1 and type 2 diabetes; AUC, area under the curve. Serving sizes in grams unless specified otherwise. The published tables show GI values based on glucose=100 and on white bread=100. Estimated by multiplying the foods listed GI value with glucose as the reference food by the listed g carbohydrate per serving and dividing by 100. Human Nutrition Unit (Sydney University, Australia), unpublished observations, 1995 2002. The low GI may be explained by the inclusion of rolled oats in the recipe. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 25 g carbohydrate. V Lang (Danone Vitapole Company, Le PlessisRobinson, France), unpublished observations, 1996 2000. GI calculated from the AUC for glucose. GI calculated by using a mathematical formula based on results from an in vitro starch hydrolysis assay. Impaired glucose tolerance. Both the test food and the reference food contained 75 g carbohydrate. Both the test food and the reference food contained 100 g carbohydrate. Values based on 0.5 g carbohydrate/kg body wt. AUC measured over 3 h for only 5 time points (0, 30, 60, 120, and 180 min). GI corrected for added milk and adjusted to represent a 50 g carbohydrate portion size. Made from raw oats that were cooked for 20 min. Used as reference food and given a GI of 100. The GI of the test food was measured by expressing the glucose AUC value for the test food as a percentage of the AUC value for wheat chapatti. GI calculated from AUC food/AUC glucose formula. The AUC value was calculated over 3 h for 5 time points only. J Dzieniszewski, J Ciok (National Food and Nutrition Institute, Poland), unpublished observations,1996 2001.

J Brand-Miller, S Holt (Sydney University, Australia), and V Lang (Danone Vitapole Company, Le PlessisRobinson, France), unpublished observations, 2000 and 2001. M Champ (INRA, France) and V Lang (Danone Vitapole Company, France), unpublished observations, 1998. AUC measured over 3 h for only 4 time points (0, 1, 2, and 3 h). AUC calculated as the area above fasting to 3 h only. AUC measured over 5 h, but blood samples taken at hourly intervals only. Potato used as reference food with a GI fixed at 80. The GI of the test food was calculated by expressing the test foods glucose AUC value as a percentage of the potatos AUC value. White rice was used as the reference food, but glucose was also tested and had a GI of 122. The observed GI was multiplied by 100 and then divided by 122 to convert it to a GI on the glucose scale (i.e., glucose = reference food with a GI of 100). Blood glucose measured at 30 min intervals. GI for sugars calculated from the glycemic response for a meal of sugar and rolled oats minus the glycemic response for the oats alone. Both the test food and the reference food contained 30 g carbohydrate. Total weight of the test food was 25 g, whereas reference food contained 25 g available carbohydrate. The carbohydrate content of the test food was assumed to be 100% available, which may be an overestimate. Eaten as part of a mixed meal with fish, tomato, and onion sauce. AUC measured over 2 h for 4 time points (0, 30, 60, and 120 min). AUC measured over 4 h for only 6 time points (0, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 min). Both the test food and the reference food contained 45 g carbohydrate. Reference food was an ordinary corn flour arepa.
