Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load

Nutrition Australia provides some further information on how the glycemic index of a food is calculated, what is considered a high GI and a low GI and also discusses a related concept called the Glycemic Load (which takes into account how much of something you eat, in addition to what it is that you eat). The Australians seem to be quite into the whole idea. The University of Sydney has provided a searchable database of the glycemic indexes of foods.
