This is very interesting - like most influenced by GI theory, I had assumed that rate of absorption/avoiding an insulin spike meant that if you wanted something sweet, it would be OK or at least least-bad, if it were mixed with slow-digesting items such as protein. Guess not :-(
- CuriousSkeptic 9y agoGI isn't the whole story. Some proteins trigger insuline response way more than blood sugar. This site has a lot of interesting material on the subject. https://intensivedietarymanagement.com/insulin-index/ https://intensivedietarymanagement.com/insulin-index/ Couldn't find the particular text I was loooing for but apparently there was this study where they mixed pasta with milk or water and added glucose to achieve equal mixes of glucose, lactose and such. The mix with the milk had something like three times higher insulin response.
