| Description | This is a wonderful powerpoint presentation by Eric C. Westman, M.D M.H.S. of the Department of Medicine at Duke University Medical Center in Durham NC presented at the American Society of Bariatric Physicians on November 1, 2006.It presents some great scientific research on the topic of GI in comparison to Low Carb diets in the management of diabetes and makes the following astutue analysis (again see the data in the presentation):Very low carbohydrate diets are low glycemic dietsLow glycemic diets are not necessarily very low arbohydrate diets (i.e., a low glycemic index diet may still have 50% of calories from carbohydrate)Effects in normals and diabetics will probably be differentIf “low GI” is better than “high GI,” what about “no GI” |
