Glycemic Index values have been added for a specific subset of database foods, from the latest tables that were published in the fall of 2002 (Am J Clin Nutr 2002;76:5-56). Since this subset of foods is small compared to the size of the database itself, a list of available ESHA codes for foods that contain this data is posted on our web site (www.esha.com).
In order to view the glycemic index data that is in the program, follow these steps:
