[QUOTE="Patch, post: 110074, member: 13526"] [b]Re: Is the Glycemic Index a Scam?[/b] Hi Nigel - I'm not dismissive of anything that has been well researched. I do a lot of reading, and usually find that a lot of the important points come up in supposedly conflicting diets. I don't know if the GI/GL is a scam - but that sure was an interesting read. Especially the fact that the the GI Diet is based on perfectly healthy peoples response to eating certyain foods. I find it odd that Diabetics should should base what they eat, on a perfectly healthy persons BG response to any particular type of food. The GI glucose tolerance method is BASICALLY what those of us that control our diabetes well do anyway. IE - we eat something, test our diabetic BG, and then based on that reading, decide if that type of food is beneficial in keeping our BG low. That's a MUCH better way than reading food types from a table that is aimed at a HEALTHY cross section of society. [/QUOTE]
