Forget the high-carb, low-carb debate. The glycemic index (GI)–a measure of carbohydrate quality based on how quickly a food raises blood-glucose (blood sugar) levels–is the nutritional key to health, say the authors. Contrary to other diets that handle carbohydrates as all alike, The New Glucose Revolution divides carbos according to their GI into two categories. One is high GI (less desirable): carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion, leading to quick and high blood-glucose response. Examples are baked potatoes, sports bars, instant rice, corn flakes cereal, and baguettes. The other is low GI (more desirable): carbohydrates that break down slowly during digestion, leading to a gradual glucose release. Examples here are pasta, whole grains, fruit, legumes, and yams.
A low-GI diet is especially not compulsory for people with diabetes, abdominal hefty, and Syndrome X, say the authors, who have strong medical, nutritional-science, and diabetes education credentials. They clarify the importance of understanding GI values, how GI is determined, health applications, and how to choose low-GI foods and balance the overall GI load. They give cooking tips, menu thoughts, and 47 recipes. A 68-page table gives the GI values of many foods, including brand names. The New Glucose Revolution is not compulsory for health-conscious readers who want to know the glycemic index and how to incorporate it into their diet. –Joan Price

Suger is terrible for you. That’s the book. Save your money.
Rating: 1 / 5
Confusing and dissappointing. I couldn’t make heads or tails of this. The structure of the book dosen’t make sense. Too terrible.

If it ignores biochemical individuality and pretends that all foods have the same effects on all bodies, the book is worthless and very perilous nutritionally. It will certainly help some, though that is only because nearly 50% of people in the world would apply to its recommendations. For instance, foods can have different effects in different bodies.
If you want to know more about your body type before you start a nutritional program, I suggest the following books instead. Most of the in rank presently known is from the sympathetic system side and very small is known about the autonomic, though these recommendations can protect you from such fake suggestions of a ‘common excellent program’ for all people. Know thyself, before you make a nutritional plot. With the following books you can:

What the heck does that have to do with what the “Glucose Revolution” is about? What a joke!
I found the book to be a excellent repreive from the Atkins pundits. Atkins seems to link all carbs into two major categories with very small real evidence as to how it effects the insulin levels. Not all carbs are equal and can’t be lumped into two simple divisions. Raw carrots do not equal cooked. “….Revolution” has some real answers.
I know people that have lost “10 pounds a week” on Atkins plot without stepping back and examining what that “consequence” really is. Let’s do the math. sparing all the physiological details: 3500 calories per pound of body stout times 10lbs, equals about six days of running at ten hours each! (35,000/10 calories per minute/60 = 58 hours of running) Where does the consequence come from? Not likely to be stout lose with Atkins plot!
Better to get advice from sources that have the numbers from sound science.

I agree with the other reviewer who discussion about contradictions. Nourishing traditions was a much better book on nutrition.
