1. Method for determining the glycemic responses of foods, the method comprising:
- (a) selecting a food for testing;
(b) selecting subjects in whom glycemic responses will be measured;
(c) selecting how to take blood samples;
(d) selecting how to measure glucose in the blood;
(e) selecting the time when blood samples are taken; and
(f) selecting how the glycemic response is classified and thereafter having the subjects ingest the food, taking the blood samples as selected, measuring the glucose in the blood as selected, at the selected times, and classifying the glycemic response.
