I'm still trying to get a handle on GI - maybe it's not as important as I'm making it. I've always considered Yams a good carb staple as it is one of the highest polysaccharides (complex carbs). It's about in the middle of the glycemic index though with a rather "high" Glycemic load of 1,326 (line 450 on referenced spreadsheet)
Here where this info is located (GREAT spreadsheet): http://diabetes.about.com/gi/dynami...p://optimalhealth.cia.com.au/GlycemicLoad.xls
Can anyone clarify the significance/importance of Glycemic Load?
