Ever heard of the Insulin Index?

There's a new PCOS book coming out later this month, and its preview mentioned something I've never heard of - the Insulin Index. Seems very similar to the low GI diet we've been advised to eat as well as warnings against dairy (moment of silence since I love dairy.) Here's more info if you're interested:

    It seems to be the whey (so softer cheese, which have always upset my stomach until I went low carb...) that triggers the insulinogenic response more than the casein - so hard cheese and butter aren't as bad for this...

    But definitely interested. FINALLY the universe seems to be starting to get that those of with IR need more resources and more tools!!!!
