The short answer is it is the amount of insulin a food causes to enter your bloodstream to utilize the food. IE: eating a candy bar would have a more negative impact than eating a piece of whole wheat bread. The WebMD link below explains a bit about good and not so good carbs, whil the glycemic index one explains a bit about GI impact.
