Thank you Woo for helping us understand but I didn't quite get this part:
Quote:
1) Glycemic index alone is insignificant. Glycemic load is all that matters. Glycemic index is but one of two major factors of glycemic load. The second major factor is total amount of carbohydrate consumed.
To calculate glycemic load, multiply the glycemic index of the carb by the total amount consumed, and divide by 100 (the "control" GI - that of white bread).

When you say multiply by total amount consumed do you mean by the weight of the amount consumed or do you mean by its calories? I hope others will forgive me if this is a stupid question. |
