Not exactly on topic, but related: the glycemic load is a better measurement than the glycemic index for those who are concerned with carbs and blood sugar levels.

(From the site linked below) "The GI was originally developed by researchers for research purposes, and it was calculated from servings of food that contained 50 grams of carbohydrate. In the case of carrots, you’d have to eat about 1 1/2 pounds to get that much carbohydrate! Would you eat that many carrots at one time? Probably not. The GI doesn’t take into account realistic serving sizes. However, the glycemic load does."

Thanks JP!


Your link is far superior to the one that started this thread, which was mainly just a stab at randomly throwing out a new topic to see if it would generate some interest. 


After thinking about the topic, I have a better thread to provide useful information on this general subject.
