Just wanted to add --- "Glycemic Load" has begun to replace "Glycemic Index" as the low-carb concept du jour -- it corrects for the serving size humans actually consume of a given carb -- so while carrots have a high glycemic index, their glycemic load is on the low side because we don't eat pounds of them. Using glycemic index alone removes some 'healthy' carbs like carrots that don't need to be removed from the diet.
