Glycemic index refers to the potential of a food to raise blood glucose levels. This value may be a useful tool to benefit people with diabetes management and those desiring weight loss for improving health, aesthetics, longevity, and quality of life. Pure glucose has a glycemic index of one hundred. Foods are classified as high, moderate, or low based on this comparison. A high glycemic index is seventy or above. Moderate is fifty-five to seventy. The low is fifty-five or below. The glycemic index was once thought to demonstrate quality of carbohydrates.
