Awesome gi index list

Short into book, great guidelines! It has an amazing gi index list, and will explain modern concepts not old ones!

I read both the 2008 and 2015 versions of the book and saw little difference. I like the presentation of data in tabular form. While not complete, I realize the impossibility of listing every food possible. Perhaps a little update would be better.
