Abstract
Products with low-glycemic labeling have been on store shelves around the
world for about 20 years, but in the United States, it was first around 2003
that such products entered mainstream U.S. supermarkets. And even then, their
presence has been minimal in the marketplace. However, most food industry
experts predict this is going to change, and that promoting foods based on
their glycemic index, or a similar measure, is going to have a long-lasting
impact on the way Americans choose the foods and beverages they consume.
Prior to 2003, U.S. products that boasted the fact that they were low-glycemic
tended to be dietary or nutritional supplements, rather than foods and
beverages, and were sold in natural food stores. After the low-carb diet came
and disappeared, U.S. consumers began to understand that not all carbohydrates
are created equal. They started to understand the difference, and many were
immediately open to the concept of low-glycemic foods and beverages.
