Equivalent glycemic load (EGL): a method for quantifying the glycemic responses elicited by low carbohydrate foods

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Glycemic load (GL) is used to quantify the glycemic impact of high-carbohydrate (CHO) foods, but cannot be used for low-CHO foods. Therefore, we evaluated the accuracy of equivalent-glycemic-load (EGL), a measure of the glycemic impa...
