Bio: Dr. David Jenkins is one of Canada’s foremost researchers in nutrition science. His research has looked at how diet affects cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer prevention. This research led him to establish the Glycemic Index, a numerical Index that ranks carbohydrates based on their rate of glycemic response. The Glycemic Index has since enables thousands of people to minimize insulin-related problems by identifying and avoiding foods that have the greatest effect on blood sugar.
