AB  - Considerable epidemiologic evidence links consuming lower glycemic index (GI) 
      diets with good health, particularly upon aging. The GI is a kinetic parameter 
      that reflects the ability of carbohydrate (CHO) contained in consumed foods to 
      raise blood glucose in vivo. Newer nutritional, clinical, and experimental data 
      link intake of lower dietary GI foods to favorable outcomes of chronic diseases, 
      and compel further examination of the record. Based upon the new information 
      there are two specific questions: 1) should the GI concept be promoted as a way 
      to prolong health, and 2) should food labels contain GI information? Further, 
      what are the remaining concerns about methodological issues and consistency of 
      epidemiological data and clinical trials that need to be resolved in order to 
      exploit the benefits of consuming lower GI diets? These issues are addressed in 
      this review.
