Glycemic Load For Soy FoodNote: Glycemic Load measures the glycemic index of a regular food serving. It is therefore a useful dietary tool for patients with diabetes, people with insulin resistance, or anyone who wishes to improve their blood sugar management by avoiding surges in blood glucose after eating easily digestible carbohydrate.

Note: If a particular food has Glycemic Load (GL) of zero, usually this is because the food contains little or no carbs (eg. meat, fish, cheese, eggs etc.). Where very few variations of a food type are listed, this is because very few variations have been "tested" to determine their GI value. Related Glycemic Index LinksGlycemic
