NO DAIRY? REALLY? DOESN'T MILK HAVE A LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX?
It's true that milk has a low glycemic index (GI) and a low glycemic load (GL). For the latter,
whole milk clocks in at an attractive 27. Unfortunately, dairy products paradoxically have a
high insulinemic response on the insulinemic index (II or InIn) scale. Researchers from Lund
University in Sweden have examined this surprising finding:
Despite low glycemic indexes of 1530, all of the milk products produced high
insulinemic indexes of 9098, which were not signi cantly di erent from the insulinemic
index of the reference bread [generally white bread].... Conclusions: Milk products appear
insulinotropic as judged from 3-fold to 6-fold higher insulinemic indexes than expected
