Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores rice flakes cereal at a serving of 1 cup (30g) of a pure rice-flake cereal; at large bowl, or any wheat/barley-malt version it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
