The glycaemic load (GL) indicates how strongly the food stresses the insulin system.
In contrast to the glycaemic index, the glycaemic load takes into account the amount of carbohydrates contained in the food.
The glycaemic index (Glyx) indicates how quickly carbohydrates get from the intestine into the blood and thus cause a correspondingly high insulin release.
A high insulin level promotes insulin resistance and thus the development of many diseases of civilization.
However, a high glycaemic index is relatively insignificant if the food contains only a few carbohydrates.
The following diseases are favoured by insulin resistance:
Diabetes mellitus tyep II
Diabetes mellitus type III with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease
Overweight
Cancer
Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Arteriosclerosis with risk of heart attack and stroke
high blood pressure
Erectile dysfunction

Glyx = Glycaemic Index
GL = Glycaemic load = Glycaemic index by 100 times carbohydrate amount of meal per 100 g
kcal = kilocalories per 100 g
kj = kilojoules per 100 g
Protein = Protein content per 100 g
Fat = fat content per 100 g
Carbohydrates = proportion of utilizable carbohydrates per 100 g
Dietary fibre = proportion of non-usable carbohydrates (dietary fibre) per 100 g
Water = water content per 100 g
Low Glyx: 0 - 55
Average Glyx: 56 - 75
High Glyx: from 76
Low GL: 0 - 10
