This book has 'reader friendly' information. This book is a useful tool for people watching thier glycemic levels.
GI food indexFebruary 20, 2009 Sandra M. Hardman Info is easy to understand but seems limited in the foods listed. Also was hoping for an alphabetical index of foods as a means of looking things up, but it is listed as all the other books are, in groups of low, medium, and high GI ratings.
unacceptableNovember 16, 2009 Jeanine R. Olson(Belgrade, MT) I didn't get my order. I have written, and it should have been here, but still has not arrived. I am not happy.
