Excellent article, and I love this quote:

"The debate over whether every person who puts food in his mouth should
know about this is fervid even for the field of dietary wisdom, where
fierce opinions based on ironclad beliefs and sparse data are standard"

And talk about a fierce opinion:

"But that seems unlikely any time soon at the heart association. The head of
its nutrition committee, Dr. Robert Eckel of the University of Colorado,
says the theory that high-GI foods make people hungry is "ridiculous" and
argues that a scientific case can be made for just the opposite."

I would love to hear his 'scientific case' for the opposite, but somehow I think that's not likely to happen.
