The New Glucose Revolution Shoppers' Guide to GI Values 2006: The Authoritative Source of Glycemic Index Values for More Than 500 Foods

By Jennie Brand-Miller, Kaye Foster-Powell, Dr. Jennie Brand-Miller MD

Neil R. Storey has drawn on a vast array of originial sources - among them witness statements, coroners' reports and court records - to produce a revealing insight into the East End's darkest moments. As well as the murders of Jack the Ripper, perhaps the most infamous in history, he looks at nine other cases in detail: the still mysterious Ratcliffe Highway Murders of 1811; Henry Wainwright, who dismembered his mistress and rolled up her remains in a carpet in 1874; Israel Lipski, whose name became a term of derision and abuse against Jews in East London for years following his conviction for ther murder of a young woman in 1887; the unsolved murder of Frances Coles in 1891; the Whitechapel High Street Newspaper Shop Murder in 1904; the Houndsditch Murders and the Siege of Sydney Street in 1910, in which a robbery potted by Russian anarchists went badly wrong; the throat-cutting William Cronin in 1925; the Bow Road Cinema Murder in 934; and finally the shooting of George Cornell by Ronnie Kray at the Blind Begger pub in 1966. East End Murders is a unique re-examination of the darker side of the capital's past

THE NEW GLUCOSE GENERATION SHOPPERS GUIDE

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. VERY INFORMATIVE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND

More U.S. Products

Readers frustrated by the lack of information on common U.S. -based foods in some earlier editions will be pleased with this updated listing. Mostly generalized foods ("graham crackers, plain") and some U.S. brand names ("Snickers bar, regular") are included with glycemic index, common serving size, available carboyhdrate (carbs-fiber) per serving, and glycemic load per serving. A brief discussion of the nutritional reasearch used is included, but it is not the most thorough discussion of the topics (as would be expected, since this is a pocket reference guide, not the fully expanded books the author and others have published addressing specific medical and nutritional issues). The basic outline to apply this information is provided however, along with a revamped food pyramid and the recommended servings (and serving sizes) for each food group. I did feel the additional set of charts grouping the lo, moderate, and hi GI foods for a given category (Fruit, Pizza, etc.) to be rather pointless, since the authors and other researchers have concluded that Glycemic Load (which factors in the serving size, not just the glycemic index of the carbs) is the definitive means to determine a food's affect on blood sugar and fat storage. I would have preferred the author use the space to list different versions of the serving size (28g or 1 oz or 1/3 cup) or to make the same charts based on Glycemic Load, not Gylcemic Index.
