Unless you know the glycemic load of both digested corn and digested grass for cows you can't compare them with the figures for humans. And more importantly, drawing nutritional wisdom from such a comparison is foolish at best.

And more importantly, drawing nutritional wisdom from such a comparison is foolish at best." I agree with what your saying. Given what I know about nutrition in humans, I'm suggesting that maybe there's a similar effect in cows. Perhaps someone can chime in regarding the GI for cows, and if similar, it might be something worth further researching. Definitely not suggesting that what applies to humans always applies to cows.
