Low Glycemic Load Food

While the Glycemic Index (GI) tells us how quickly a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood sugar, the Glycemic Load (GL) takes into account both the GI and the actual amount of carbohydrates in a standard serving. For many health experts, GL is considered a much more accurate picture of a food's real-life impact on blood sugar.
