Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A disappointment. I am familiar with the general information to be had on the benefits of a low GI diet, so I bought the book hoping to get a better index of GI values than those commonly available (most are based on research done in Australia, and contain values for lots of products/brands not readily available in the U.S.). The same is true of the table provided in this book. Good luck finding President's Choice, SoLo, and RyVita brands at your local market. According to the President's Choice website, the outlet closest to me is in Saint Jean, Quebec- 362 miles from my doorstep. The table also contains enough errors to invalidate it as a stand alone guide (e.g. Kellogg's Corn Flakes are given a GI level of "high", while Frosted Flakes are rated "low"). Despite being a "revised and updated" fourth edition, this book is in need of some additional work and better editing. Save your money.
