How are we supposed to compare?).<br /><br />I have a question: how much is too much in terms of glycemic load when it comes to glycation and AGEs? I guess it's not an on/off switch, but how much glycemic load would you say is the limit if we want to maximise longevity?<br /><br />Also, in the case of the post strength training workout period, where muscle glycogen stores are partly depleted, can the glycemic load by higher without inducing glycation?Florent Berthethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754663217643339589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-54369664788003543612011-03-29T11:58:04.015-07:002011-03-29T11:58:04.015-07:00This is incredible because I didn't know that ...This is incredible because I didn't know that glycemic is the responsible of the diabetics, that's interesting because my cousin has these problems maybe it could be the reason.m10mviagra onlinehttp://www.xlpharmacy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-26327724249591284562010-07-20T18:34:01.861-07:002010-07-20T18:34:01.861-07:00Hi Neonomide.

Certain sucky carbs may be simply a vehicle to greater problems when sugar/fructose Omega 3 deficiency, D3 deficiency and other toxic compounds and lifestyle factors damage the gut lining to allow certain lectins and anti-nutrients to mess up our first line defence against metabolic disease -inducing compounds.<br /><br />Sorry if I derailed a bit. ^^Neonomidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961709424324961929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-29677207021012377282010-07-19T06:23:26.393-07:002010-07-19T06:23:26.393-07:00Hi Ben.

These foods are rich in fiber; some more than others. They are also satiating.<br /><br />The problem starts when we consume foods that were not meant to be consumed by any animal (e.g., seeds, unusually sweet compounds). These foods usually require heavy industrial processing, and lead to exaggerated hormonal (e.g., insulin, cortisol) responses.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-56189116692855082262010-07-19T00:09:39.485-07:002010-07-19T00:09:39.485-07:00It seems higher carb sensitivity is a bad thing. ...It seems higher carb sensitivity is a bad thing. Perhaps like those anti-bacterial soaps and lotions, if you constantly avoid all carbs, the body loses it's natural ability to defend against it!<br /><br />Speaking of bacteria, I'm curious your take on fiber. For example, soluble fiber (inulin, etc) is said to have prebiotics that promotes low cholesterol and healthy large intestine bacteria. Similarly, do the bad carbs in insoluble fiber out weigh the goodness in preventing digestive cancers? <br /><br />Assuming no wheat allergies, are the carbs and (inflammation causing) WGA lectins in whole wheat something to be avoided or reduced from the 30-35g that the rda recommends?ben nguyennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-40242301958654684952010-04-12T06:49:54.578-07:002010-04-12T06:49:54.578-07:00Hi JC.

One thing I definitely agree with Doctor Davis on is the use of a glucose meter to characterize one's response to specific meals/food combinations. I also like the idea that fat and possibly protein can blunt the blood glucose response of potentially problematic foods. Again, the glucose meter should be able to detect this. I am going to start testing my blood sugar with all of the meals that I fix on a regular basis. It should be pretty interesting. Keep up the good work on the blog.<br /><br />Thanks<br />JCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
