[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 1587651, member: 216415"] My comment was supposed to be ironic, which obviously wasn't clear in print, maybe I should have included a smiley face or something. The thing that I don't understand is probably best explained by an example...... Your Table 2 shows that white fish (one of your "real" foods") has a FII of 43%. If I am understanding this correctly, and I may not be, it means that white fish triggers 43% of the insulin that the same energy value of white bread would do. The table also shows that white fish contains no carbohydrate and hence no Glycemic Load. I would therefore expect that eating white fish would generate insulin at the same time as no extra blood glucose and would reduce the blood glucose already in circulation. A "good thing" as I put in my excessively brief comment. Let's ignore for a moment the fact that extra Insulin circulating is not desirable, are we saying that eating white fish will lower my blood glucose in the same way that Type 1's inject insulin to lower theirs?
