<h3>Description</h3 | |
<p> | |
<b>The chart represents the the glycemic load per serving:</b><br/> | |
To understand a food's complete effect on blood sugar, you need | |
to know both how quickly the food makes glucose enter the bloodstream, and | |
how much glucose it will deliver. A separate value called glycemic load does | |
that. It gives a more accurate picture of a food's real-life impact on | |
blood sugar. | |
The glycemic load is determined by multiplying the grams of | |
a carbohydrate in a serving by the glycemic index, then dividing by 100. | |
A glycemic load of 10 or below is considered low; 20 or above is considered | |
high. Watermelon, for example, has a high glycemic index (80). | |
But a serving of watermelon has so little carbohydrate (6 grams) that | |
its glycemic load is only 5.<a href="#fn1" id="ref1"><sup>1</sup></a> | |
The data can be found in the Harvard | |
Health Publications article <i>Glycemic index and glycemic load for 100+ foods: | |
Measuring carbohydrate effects can help glucose management<i/> | |
