Revised International Table of


Glycemic Index (GI) and
Glycemic Load (GL) Values
2008
By David Mendosa
Advertisement

This is the definitive table for both the glycemic index and the glycemic load. I am able to reproduce it
here courtesy of the author, Professor Jennie Brand-Miller of the University of Sydney. It is based on a
table in different format but no more foods published December 2008 in Diabetes Care. However, only
the abstract is free online there.
This table includes the glycemic index and glycemic load of more than 2,480 individual
food items. Not all of them, however, are available in the United States. They represent a
true international effort of testing around the world.
The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in
circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggersthe higher the number, the greater the
blood sugar response. So a low GI food will cause a small rise, while a high GI food will
trigger a dramatic spike. A list of carbohydrates with their glycemic values is shown
below. A GI is 70 or more is high, a GI of 56 to 69 inclusive is medium, and a GI of 55
or less is low.
The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate
consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than

does glycemic index alone. A GI value tells you only how rapidly a particular

low.

carbohydrate turns into sugar. It doesn't tell you how much of that carbohydrate is in a
serving of a particular food. You need to know both things to understand a food's effect on blood sugar.
That is where glycemic load comes in. The carbohydrate in watermelon, for example, has a high GI. But
there isn't a lot of it, so watermelon's glycemic load is relatively low. A GL of 20 or more is high, a GL of
11 to 19 inclusive is medium, and a GL of 10 or less is low.
Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Foods with an intermediate or high GL range
from very low to very high GI.
Both GI and GL are listed here. The GI is of foods based on the glucose indexwhere glucose is set to
equal 100. The other is the glycemic load, which is the glycemic index divided by 100 multiplied by its
available carbohydrate content (i.e. carbohydrates minus fiber) in grams. (The "Serve size (g)" column is
the serving size in grams for calculating the glycemic load; for simplicity of presentation I have left out an
intermediate column that shows the available carbohydrates in the stated serving sizes.) Take, watermelon
as an example of calculating glycemic load. Its glycemic index is pretty high, about 72. According to the
calculations by the people at the University of Sydney's Human Nutrition Unit, in a serving of 120 grams
it has 6 grams of available carbohydrate per serving, so its glycemic load is pretty low, 72/100*6=4.32,
rounded to 4.

Glycemic Index & Glycemic Load Rating Chart


My previous glycemic index page, which this page supplants, was based on the 2002 table published in
the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That in turn supplanted my original glycemic lists page,
which was based on the original 1995 publication of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load

I know that some people would prefer the relative simplicity of a list of just the most common American
foods. You can find such a list at http://www.mendosa.com/common_foods.htm.
If you are looking for a relatively simple description of the glycemic index, please see my article titled
"The Glycemic Index" at http://www.mendosa.com/gidigest.htm.

Notice!
You can print out this file. But before printing, be sure to check if the last column is fully visible. On
my computer I needed to change the margins in Internet Explorer (with file, page setup) from 0.75
inches to 0.25 inches. You may need to make it even wider by changing the print setup orientation
from the normal portrait to landscape. Then, please first check if you've got it by printing just one page
of the table.

This table may be freely utilized for personal use, but may not be copied to any other Web site or
publication. Webmasters of other Web sites are, however, welcomed to link this Web page.
Before asking about the glycemic index or glycemic load, please refer to my main Glycemic Index page.

Footnotes
1. NS, not specified; AUC, area under the curve. Serving sizes in grams unless otherwise specified.
2. Mean SEM. Two GI values are shown for each food - one in which glucose sugar was used as the
reference food and one in which white bread was used as the reference food.
3. Estimated by multiplying the food's listed GI value with glucose as the reference food by the listed g
carbohydrate per serving and dividing by 100.
4. Sydney University's Glycemic Index Research Service (Human Nutrition Unit, University of Sydney,
Australia), unpublished observations, 1995-2007.
5. Glycemic Index Laboratories, Inc. (Toronto, Canada), unpublished observations, 2004 - 2007.
6. International Diabetes Institute (Melbourne, Australia), unpublished observations, 2006 - 2007.
7. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 10 g carbohydrate.
8. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 25 g carbohydrate.

Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load

9. GI calculated from the 120 min AUC data included in the original article using the AUC food/AUC
reference food formula.
10. V Lang (Danone Vitapole Company, Le Plessis-Robinson, France), unpublished observations, 19962000.
11. GI calculated from the 180 min AUC data included in the original article using the AUC food/AUC
reference food formula.
12. GI calculated by using a mathematical formula based on results from an in vitro starch hydrolysis
assay.
13. White rice was used as the reference food, but glucose was also tested and had a GI of 122. The
observed GI was multiplied by 100 and then divided by 122 to convert it to a GI on the glucose scale (ie,
glucose = reference food with a GI of 100).
14. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 75 g carbohydrate.
15. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 100 g carbohydrate.
16. B Spratt (George Westons Foods, Australia), unpublished observations, 2007.
17. Values based on 0.5 g carbohydrate/kg body weight.
18. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 70 g carbohydrate.
19. Glycemic Index Symbol Program: http://www.gisymbol.com.au; Accessed 30 August 2007.

24. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 30 g carbohydrate.
25. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 20 g carbohydrate.
26. Potato used as the reference food with a GI fixed at 80. The GI of the test food was calculated by
expressing the test food's glucose AUC value as a percentage of the potato's AUC value.
27. GI calculated from the 90 min AUC data included in the original article using the AUC food/AUC
reference food formula.
28. GI calculated from the 150 min AUC data included in the original article using the AUC food/AUC
reference food formula.
29. GI included in original article determined from AUC measured 120 min for only 4 time points (0, 30,
60 and 120 min).
30. GI included in original article determined from AUC measured 240 min for only 6 time points (0, 30,
60, 120, 180 and 240 min).
31. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 45 g carbohydrate.
32. Ordinary corn flour arepa was used as the reference food.

Footnotes
1. NS, not specified; AUC, area under the curve. Serving sizes in grams unless otherwise specified.
2. Mean SEM. Two GI values are shown for each food - one in which glucose sugar was used as the
reference food and one in which white bread was used as the reference food.
3. Estimated by multiplying the food's listed GI value with glucose as the reference food by the listed g
carbohydrate per serving and dividing by 100.
4. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 25 g carbohydrate.
5. GI calculated from the 180 min AUC data included in the original article using the AUC food/AUC
reference food formula.
6. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 75 g carbohydrate.
7. GI calculated from the 240 min AUC data included in the original article using the AUC food/AUC
reference food formula.
8. GI value included in original article determined from AUC measured over 3 h for only 4 time points
(0, 1, 2, and 3 h).
9. GI corrected for added milk and adjusted to represent a 50 g carbohydrate portion size.

Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load

10. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 12.5 g carbohydrate.
11. GI calculated from the 120 min AUC data included in the original article using the AUC food/AUC
reference food formula.
12. GI value included in original article determined from AUC measured over 3 h for only 5 time points
(0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min).
13. Wheat chapatti was used as the reference food and given a GI of 100. The GI of the test food was
measured by expressing the glucose AUC value for the test food as a percentage of the AUC value for
wheat chapatti.
14. M Champ (INRA, France) and V Lang (Danone Vitapole Company, France), unpublished
observations, 1998.
15. GI calculated from the 300 min AUC data included in the original article using the AUC food/AUC
reference food formula.
16. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 30 g carbohydrate.
17. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 20 g carbohydrate.
18. Sydney University's Glycemic Index Research Service (Human Nutrition Unit, University of Sydney,
Australia), unpublished observations, 1995-2007.
19. GI for sugars calculated from the glycemic response for a meal of sugar and rolled oats minus the
glycemic response for the oats alone.
20. Portions of the test food and the reference food contained 100 g carbohydrate.
21. Total weight of the test food was 50 g, whereas the reference food contained 50 g available
carbohydrate. The carbohydrate content of the test food was assumed to be 100% available, which may
be an overestimation.
22. Total weight of the test food was 25 g, whereas the reference food contained 25 g available
carbohydrate. The carbohydrate content of the test food was assumed to be 100% available, which may
be an overestimation.
23. Eaten as part of a mixed meal with fish, tomato, and onion sauce.
24. GI value included in original article determined from AUC measured over 2 h for only 5 time points
(0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min).
25. GI value included in original article determined from AUC measured over 2 h for only 4 time points
(0, 30, 60 and 120 min).
