Glycemic Index sounds real scientific- but is it ?
A retired Industrial chemist indicates the chemical flaws used by the researchers in their calculation of GI.

Glycemic Load is the only scientific way of reporting glycemic response of foods.
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.

High sugar, high carbohydrate diets are the basis for sugar addition. High carbohydrate diets are a definite "no go" for diabetics, so must be considered a risk factor in causing diabetes. See Dr, Bernstein's site for proof

think she lacks enough formal education to qualify to be an "expert". on diets. Just being able to write is completely unsatisfactory when dealing with other people's health.

Just a repost to negate down thumb nonsense !

[ernietube1]

The BIG problem is very few people are suited to this high sugar, high carbohydrate diet. Essentiall,y it is dangerous to most people to go on.

Intake of sugared beverages is associated with increased body weight, poor nutrition, increasing consumption increases risk for obesity and diabetes; the strongest effects are seen in studies with the best methods and interventional studies show that reduced intake of soft drinks improves health.1 Studies that do not support a relationship between consumption of sugared beverages and health outcomes tend to be conducted by authors supported by the beverage industry.

Ounces of Prevention — The Public Policy Case for Taxes on Sugared Beverages

Kelly D. Brownell, Ph.D., and Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H.

Sugar-sweetened beverages (soda sweetened with sugar, corn syrup, or other caloric sweeteners and other carbonated and uncarbonated drinks, such as sports and energy drinks) may be the single largest driver of the obesity epidemic.

A FEAR report may do the trick-

A HIGH CARBOHYDRATE DIET DOES THIS-

High Insulin Levels Increase Breast Cancer Risk

Postmenopausal women with hyperinsulinemia were at least two times more likely to develop breast cancer compared with women with the lowest insulin levels. Interventions that target insulin and its signaling pathways may decrease breast cancer risk in these women.

Researchers with the multiyear WHI followed health outcomes in 93,676 postmenopausal women

To whomever made this video? Why don't you let the evil Harvard School of Public Health do their evil deeds, and you meanwhile go volunteer at a food pantry and actually be productive and have a real impact on people's lives if you have this much spare time on your hands? That's where I'm going! Bye.

hi carbs are not bad for diabetics if the carbs are complex and the diet is low fat

[PROFLOP1]

Thanks for reply. I think glycemic index has died a natural death anyway. Was glycemic index promoted to justify American Diabetic Association recommendation some decades ago for a high carbohydrate diet for diabetics ?

[Mutwasze]

Good work ERNIE! In fact, here in the U.S., it was DR. ROBERT ATKINS who really popularized/pioneered the LOW CARB DIET which seem to parallel DR. BERNSTEIN!

[Mutwasze]

Agreed wholeheartedly. I have been saying this to whomever would listen: That its the GLYCEMIC LOAD thatz the key!! Additionally, LOW CARBS was the point of DR. ROBERT ATKINS (higher Fat and Proteins too). His only FLAW was that it needed to be adjusted a little bit more for the Individual GLYCEMIC LOAD.

I have NO idea what that even is. I rarely view youtube, Your video flagged offf something else I was looking at. Then you got all nasty about my comment of it being a poor "work of art". You don't have to explain it to me...I DON"T CARE.

[ERNIEMAC2]

Did you watch it in HQ ?

[debwa1wok]

nice guy!!!!!!! I didn't wish anything bad on you. I still think you could have done a much better video to get your point across. I've watched it again and still couldn't read places where you changed screens to quickly. I wasn't commenting on the content of the video. I don't really care what your opinion is on GI. I was commenting on how poor you made the video. So you can have all your bad wishes back.

[ERNIEMAC2]

If you are at all interested, then read the references.

If you can't understand it, bad luck !

[debwa1wok]

I think the video was worse then the message. Probably because you couldn't read 1/2 of it.
