Rating:  - Good idea, but not in my store
The Shopper's guide seems to be a pretty comprehensive list of glycemic values, the problem is that almost none of the products listed are ones sold in my local grocery stores. I am wondering if the list is of Canadian brands since that is where the glycemic index diet first took hold. I plan to try to look for another similar book with brands that are available here.
