Translating GI News and www.glycemicindex.com
If you would prefer to read GI News or a page from glycemicindex in a language other than English, there is a very easy way to translate them (or any site for that matter), using a service provided by Altavista called ‘Babel Fish’. Simply head over to babelfish.altavista.com and copy and paste a block of text into the first window (up to 150 words), or enter the website address to translate an entire page into the ‘Translate a Web Page’ box. Next, select which language you would like the English text translated to from the drop-down menu. Click the Translate button and Babel Fish will do all the work for you in just a few seconds.

What about seeds as opposed to nuts? I love sunflower seeds(roasted unsalted). They are alot cheaper than tree nuts. How do they compare nutritionally and GI-wise with walnuts?

Seeds (unsalted) are a great ingredient to add to your salads and baking and to nibble as a snack. We use them all the time in our recipes. They contain very little carbohydrate so their GI can't be tested. Enjoy.

I can't understand why a raw South African banana's GI is 70 but a baked banana bread made with sugar is only 47?
Should I be munching banana bread instead?
