A new study from Leatherhead Food International (LFI) should help identify the key messages about glycaemic response and how best to communicate them. The 2007 study will also investigate the effects of low, medium and high glycaemic index (GI) foods on fat uptake in the body.

While many companies claim the concept of glycaemic response has proved too difficult for consumers, they should persevere, claimed Jeya Henry, professor of human nutrition at Oxford Brookes University. "The public can get to grips with blood sugar. It's just going to take time."

Other LFI projects scheduled for 2007 include studies on omega-3 fatty acids and satiety.
