Yes, I certainly agree that limiting hi carb/hi GI reduces overall gycemic load.....thank you for the concise explanation

I guess what surprised me was that a few of the carbs I normally associate with having high GI's had more reasonable GL's in the amounts (portions) one would normally eat--I'm thinking of chickpeas and popcorn, if I remember correctly--there may have been a couple of others.... I suppose it was a bit of wishful thinking that a few items like that might be moved around on the favorable/unfavorable lists.

I am pretty comfortable at this point knowing how various carbs affect me, so my question was more curiosity/academic than anything else.

Anyway, it's nice to "meet" you and the other Zoners here.
