I had a question about the GI of Pamela's Baking mix the other day. There is no requirement by the FDA for any food manufacturer to list the GI of its products.
However, you only need to search for "GI of food" in order to obtain the sugar index of a particular food.
In this case, remember that flour, whether or not it contains gluten, has a very high GI...ranging from about 60 -80 GI. Flour comes under the "white trash" food category and should be used, sparingly, especially by anyone with type 2 diabetes. The GI of bread, like white sugar, is 100.
