what is gl vs gi?
Glycaemic Load is the term used to describe the overall effect of these two factors on blood sugar. For example: The GL of a potato (GI around 90) containing approximately 18 grams of carbohydrate is 18 x 90% = 16. The GL of an apple (GI around 40) containing approximately 15 grams of carbohydrate is 15 x 40% = 6.
