One 2007 study has questioned the value of using glycemic load as a basis for weight-loss programmes.

Those who ate the special low glycemic load diet had more improvement in their acne.

However, a high glycemic load diet is associated with worsening acne.

One serving provides a relatively low glycemic load score of 4 out of 100 per day.

Glycerol is approximately 30% more slowly absorbed by the body resulting in a much lower glycemic load.

But for now, tables of glycemic load are not generally available to the public or to health experts who dispense dietary advice.

Q: What's the difference between glycemic index and glycemic load?

The glycemic load diet: a powerful new program for losing weight and reversing insulin resistance.

The column, however, continues to concern itself with glycemic load, which does, indeed, require a careful eye on quality and quantity of carbohydrates.

For diabetics, glycemic load is a highly recommended tool for managing blood sugar.

The glycemic load is "the mathematical product of the glycemic index and the carbohydrate amount".

In addition, whole-grain foods are given more priority than vegetables, which should not be the case, as vegetables have a lower glycemic load.

Americans who snack on sweets and refined carbohydrates raise their glycemic load and, in turn, their risk of heart disease.

Chocolate however does contain a varying amount of sugar that can lead to a high glycemic load, and it can be made with or without milk.

It offers the advantage of providing natural amounts of dietary fiber and having a lower glycemic load than grain-based fish meal.

Holford is also a major proponent of a low Glycemic Load diet as ideal for weight control, diabetes, heart disease and cancer prevention.

The glycemic load (GL) of food is a number that estimates how much the food will raise a person's blood glucose level after eating it.

One unit of glycemic load approximates the effect of consuming one gram of glucose.

A prospective study of dietary glycemic load, carbohydrate intake, and risk of coronary heart disease in U.S. women.

The high glycemic load of these beverages is also thought to be a contributor to chronic disease, including diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

High-amylose varieties of rice, the less sticky long-grain rice, have a much lower glycemic load, which could be beneficial for diabetics.

A food with a low glycemic index may have a high carbohydrate content or vice versa; this can be accounted for with the glycemic load.

A diet program that manages the glycemic load aims to avoid sustained blood-sugar spikes and can help avoid onset of type 2 diabetes.

The glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load concepts have been developed to characterize food behavior during human digestion.

Pasta, oatmeal and unrefined grains, on the other hand, are digested slowly and therefore have a low glycemic load and are considered heart healthy.
