The Glycemic Index of Foods
The glycemic index is a rating system that assigns a number to any given food designating the rate at which the sugars in that food produce an insulin response in the body. Foods are rated from 0 - 100. The higher the number, the more quickly that food raises blood sugar levels; low numbers are assigned to foods that raise blood sugar very slowly.
Here's a chart of common foods listing glycemic index and glycemic load per serving.
