'The glycemic index (GI) is a scale from 1–100. Each food gets a score, and the lower the score, the longer that food takes to raise a person’s blood sugar levels. The GI indicates how quickly carbohydrate containing foods increase blood sugar levels, compared with pure glucose. Glycemic Load is the application of the GI to a standard serving of food. The GL ranks food according to actual carbohydrate content in a typical portion-size, not how fast a 50 gram amount of carbohydrates raises blood sugar levels. Simply put, the GI combined with total intake is referred to as \"Glycemic Load\" or GL.
