What we now know from numerous observational cohort studies around
the world is that the average GI of the diet of people in the lowest
quintile (20% of the population) is about 40-50. Similarly, in a recent
meta-analysis of 15 experimental studies investigating the role of low
GI diets in managing diabetes, the average GI was 45. Since this
average GI has been proven to have significant health benefits in
people with existing diabetes and in reducing the risk of chronic
diseases like heart disease and diabetes, and importantly, people can
and do achieve it in real life, we believe a GI of 45 or less is a
reasonable definition of a low GI diet or meal.
