The glycemic index just may be the most significant advance in nutritional science of the last 25 years. More so than any other nutritional tool, it is transforming what and how we eat.
The glycemic index ranks foods according to their immediate effect on blood glucose levels. A growing body of research confirms that the glycemic index is a factor in health concerns from weight gain and fatigue to heart disease and diabetes.
