The GI values listed in the revised table represent high-qualitydata published in refereed journals or unpublished values generatedby Sydney University’s Glycemic Index Research Service,often as a result of contract research by industry. The foods havebeen described as unambiguously as possible by using descriptivedata about the food given in the original publication. In somecases, descriptive details were extensive, including the species orvariety of plant food, the brand name of the processed food, andthe preparation and cooking methods. In other cases, the onlydescription was a single word (eg, potatoes or apple). If the cookingmethod and cooking time were stated in the original reference,the details are given. The user should bear in mind that countriesoften have different names for the same food product or, alternatively,the same name for different items. For example, Kellogg’sSpecial K breakfast cereal is a very different product in NorthAmerica (Kellogg Canada Inc) than in Australia (Kellogg, Sydney,Australia), each of which has a different GI value. Similarly, foodnames may mean different things in different countries. For example,biscuits, muffins, and scones have different meanings in NorthAmerica and in Europe. The terms used in the revised table havebeen selected to be as internationally relevant as possible.Some research laboratories continue to use white bread as thereference food for measuring GI values, whereas others use glucose(dextrose); therefore, 2 GI values are given for each food.The first value is the GI with glucose as the reference food (GIvalue for glucose = 100; GI value for white bread = 70), and thesecond value is the GI for the same food with white bread as thereference food (GI value for white bread = 100; GI value for glucose= 143). When bread was the reference food used in the originalstudy, the GI value for the food was multiplied by 0.7 toobtain the GI value with glucose as the reference food. The tablelists the reference food
