Abstract:
"Glycemic Density - Continuing The Glucose Revolution" by Richard A. Price. First there was the glycemic index which measures how rapidly carbohydrate foods are digested and metabolized into blood sugar. Then there was the glycemic load which applies the glycemic index to specific serving sizes. Now there is Glycemic Density which measures the glycemic impact in a given weight of food. Experts have concluded that we tend to eat the same weight volume of food over a two or three day period. By eating foods with a lower Glycemic Density, we maximize hunger satisfaction while minimizing glycemic impact.
