DIOGENES
Information on the next level:
A new methodology has been developed for consistent
assignment of GI values to foods across the five European databases used in the
Diogenes intervention study.
GI values have been assigned according to five decreasing
levels of confidence: (1) Measured values for specific foods; (2)
Published values from published sources; (3) Equivalent values where
published values for similar foods existed; (4) Estimated values
three values selected representing low/medium/high GI ranges;
(5) Nominal values assigned as 70, where no other value could be assigned
with sufficient confidence.
The GI values will soon be available, with a link to the
website.
