[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2284288, member: 196898"] The article is attacking the premise and even the notion that all carbs have teaspoon equivalents of sucrose which is itself a carb. I too had problems with finding where and how the numeric values were derived, and this could indeed be a valid subject for questioning. It would have been more worthwhile if the author had calculated the area under the curve (i.e the integral AUC) and compared various foods. As it was it appears to be an (n=tiny) experiment done in a kitchen somewhere so like on this site, the data produced is anecdotal and cannot be used to justify those conclusions at all. A similar argument erupted over an article in the Grauniad [URL]https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/feb/17/cafe-chains-selling-drinks-25-teaspoons-sugar-starbucks-costa-coffee[/URL] [/QUOTE]
