  NutritionData.com Estimated Glycemic Load   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Glycemic Load is the most practical way to apply the Glycemic Index to dieting, and is easily calculated by multiplying a food's Glycemic Index (as a percentage) by the number of net carbohydrates in a given serving.
Glycemic Load gives a relative indication of how much that serving of food is likely to increase your blood sugar levels.
For this study, Glycemic data was taken from the International table of glycemic index and glycemic load values: 2002 for those foods which could most reliably be matched to existing entries in ND's database.

  Glycemic load - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Glycemic Load (GL) is a ranking system for carbohydrate content in food portions based on their Glycemic Index (GI) and the portion size.
The usefulness of glycemic load is based on the idea that to some extent, a high glycemic index food consumed over a long period would give the same effect as a low glycemic index food on blood sugar.
Glycemic load for a single serving of a food can be calculated as the quantity (in grams) of its carbohydrate content, multiplied by its GI, and divided by 100.

 Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load
The glycemic index is a tool that measures the speed of entry of glucose (sugar) from a carbohydrate into the bloodstream.
On the glycemic scale, the highest measurement is for glucose which has the ranking of 100.
For the most part, foods that are lowest on the glycemic index have the slowest rate of entry into the bloodstream, and therefore have the lowest insulin response.

 Bodybuilding.com - Mauro Di Pasquale - FAQs About The Glycemic Index (GI)!
Glycemic index is assessed by having one or more people eat a specific amount of a single food (usually 50 grams of digestible carbohydrate [total carbohydrate minus fiber]) and then measuring the change in blood sugar levels compared to the levels achieved after they have eaten a control food such as white bread.
To calculate glycemic load in a typical serving of food, divide the GI of that food by 100 and multiply this by the useable carbohydrate content (in grams) in the serving size.
For example, if we eat a high glycemic food or a high glycemic load meal, which by definition triggers a rapid rise in our blood sugar levels, our pancreas is over-stimulated and releases a much larger amount of insulin.

The associations of glycemic load and fructose intakes with pancreatic cancer risk were most apparent among women with elevated body mass index (>/=25 kg/m(2)) or with low physical activity.
Among women who were both overweight and sedentary, a high glycemic load was associated with an RR of 2.67 (95% CI = 1.02 to 6.99; highest versus lowest quartile of intake; P for trend =.03), and high fructose was associated with an RR of 3.17 (95% CI = 1.13 to 8.91; P for trend =.04).
