Thanks for the link. In regards to the comment above, I was under the impression that Alan no longer cared about the GI of carbs in reference to peri-WO carbs only. I thought he stated that science hasn't been able to prove any particular GI of carb to be better than another in terms of recovery and that's why he doesn't care about GI peri-WO. That was my take anyway. I still think GI or, probably more importantly, glycemic load definitely matters in daily nutrition.

The article its self was interesting. I can't say that I learned anything new from it but it was interesting, nonetheless. I liked reading his

Myth #4: "High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is more fattening than regular sugar is."
. I've discussed that with people on these boards before and some individuals still insist that there's some evil secret ingredient in HFCS besides glucose and fructose.

The potato thing makes sense to me. It sounds like his bottom line is just that they both have pros and cons and in the end it's a wash.
