A Nourished by Science poster: download your copy below.
The glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of a food are measures of the blood sugar response to that food.
Replacing high-GI/GL foods with low-GI/GL foods is one way to lower the blood sugar response to a meal.
Below, you can download a free copy of a high-resolution poster showing the GI and GL of many common foods.
For more information about the glycemic index and the glycemic load, please see our dedicated blog post and video about the topic.
