Apparently the lowered glycemic index for foods of a smaller particle size is only for starchy foods (smaller particles hydrolyze easier, making them higher GI). So while my statement may have held true for starches, it wouldn't for fruits. I have no idea about smoothies! It's out of the scope of the paper, though, so all we can say is that the study suggests that juicing increases diabetic risk and whole fruits lower it.
