Micaela,

I see that the numbers I cited are different than those Jean-Louis
cited. Seems there must be a different system of measurement between the
two. I see bananas have a higher GI on his list than sucrose, whereas
the info I have lists bananas as having a lower GI than sucrose...
I don't have the GI for raw potatoes or millet, but I'm sure it's a
dramatic contrast... That study I cited earlier regarding effect of
cooked vs. raw starch on blood sugar demonstrates the contrast...And I
feel the difference myself.
Jean-Louis,

Aren't you concerned about the apparent hazards of microwaved food?
Have you read about this? I had read a study on this...blood warmed to
98.6 in the microwave was fatal when administered...also saw info on a
study showing that microwaved veggies adversely affected the immune
system vs. regular cooked ones when ingested...seems there's a radiation
factor involved, or some alteration of molecules due to the microwaving
process...also hypothetically adversely affects the energy field of the
food..deranges it, etc..
