This video, like the dispelling of the so-called "myths" on the GI website, seem to have undergone a transformation. It seems I am watching an advertisement from the sugar association. I've worked with thousands of chronic T2 diabetics, and if they lived by the "professional" advice from the new GI people, any progress they've experienced would disappear overnight. Sure, eat sugar. No problem. Get a grip people. Eat real food the way evolution intended.
Glycemic Index is based on faulty science. The basic chemistry they used in determining GI is not correct. Please see-
GLYCEMIC INDEX- why it does not worK ?

Glycemic Load is based on DIRECT measurement of the glycemic response to a known weight of test food. No calculation or estimation of GI from apparent weight of contained CARBOHYDRATE is needed. Although the GI Researchers can't or don't want to understand this, it is a fact
We emphasise that there's no need to get overly technical about this. Think of the GI as a tool allowing you to choose one food over another in the same food group—the best bread to choose, the best cereal to choose etc.—and don't get bogged down with figures.
A low GI diet is about eating a wide variety of healthy foods that fuel our bodies best—on the whole these are the less processed and wholesome foods that will provide carbs in a slow release form.
Stick with the GI rather than GL—the reason being that following the low glycemic load (GL) route can lead you straight to a low carb diet: ie, fatty meats and butter, for example have a low GL. But if you eat plenty of low GI foods, you'll find that you are automatically reducing the GL of your diet and at the same time you'll feel fuller for longer with these satisfying carbohydrate-containing foods, as well as improve many health parameters.

Low-GL works much better. GI doesn't account for the weight or amount of food that is eaten. Look at Holford's books.
