Abstract: We extend the assertion of the Generalized Lower Bound Theorem (GLBT) to general polytopes under the assumption that their low dimensional skeleton is simplicial, with partial results for the general case. We prove a quantitative version of the GLBT for general polytopes, and use it to give a topological necessary condition for polytopes to have vanishing toric

g_{k}

entry. As another application of the QGLBT we prove a conjecture of Kalai on

g

-numbers for general polytopes approximating a smooth convex body.
