WHAT DOES GLYCEMIC INDEX MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Glycemic index

The effects that different foods have on blood glucose levels vary considerably. The glycemic index or glycaemic index attempts to measure this variation. It does so by estimating how much each gram of available carbohydrate in a food raises a person's blood glucose level following consumption of that food, relative to consumption of pure glucose, which has a glycemic index of 100. Because a large increase in the glucose response to a food typically makes for a steeper initial climb in that response, it is also a rough measure of how quickly blood glucose levels may rise after eating a particular food, though this rapidity can be influenced by the quantity of fat eaten with the food, as well as by other factors. The glycemic index is usually applied in the context of the quantity of the food and the amount of carbohydrate in the food that is actually consumed. A related measure, the glycemic load, factors this in by multiplying the glycemic index of the food in question by the carbohydrate content of the actual serving. Watermelon has a high glycemic index, but a low glycemic load for the quantity typically consumed.
