  • Unfortunately, it's bad science to cherry-pick data. Few studies meet everyone's gold-standard. No study is perfect, and anyone can choose to invalidate any study at any time by pointing out its failings. Which leaves us with the question "which studies do you trust"?

  • This is only partially true. The heaviest glycemic LOAD foods are carb sources that are relatively sparse on micronutrients.
