<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/>
