Hello

There is a data base within the link that gives the the choice to look at uk foods, their GI valuses and GL

What I'm not clear about is the weight of some of the items measured.

The data link to GI & GL

http://www.mrc-hnr.cam.ac.uk/research/gi-database/database-search-and-files (Then go to UK foods.


Is anyone able to work out what all of the boxes stand for?? I know you have the name of food/s, Gi and GL but don't understand the other bits and where is the weight of each food?

Thanks and hope you find it helpful
 
the GL values are calculated for a standard 100 gram portion of the food... that's all I can gather... the database itself imported for me as a right mess...

Links works fine for me - it ask for some excel prog, I say no and then it appears.
 
I think it's a great resource thank you for finding it.
One thing worth bearing in mind is that it has limitations ie not all the values are tested. ( I was wondering why so many appeared to be the same!)
Column I gives the strength of each value
1) Measured values for specific foods
2)Published values from published sources
3)Equivalent values where published values for similar foods existed
4)Estimated values three values selected representing low/medium/high GI
5) Nominal values assigned as 70, where no other value could be assigned with sufficient confidence
 
Thank you Phoenix. On my day away from work, i searched and searched for something like the link I have posted. Yet, when I found it, could not work out what every secton stood for. so, thank you, makes a lot of sense, i will print off tomorrow. :)
