Interesting.

What happens if you combine foods, like everyone does at meals (i.e. steak +
ice cream - bad choice I know) ? Do you average the scores, add them up, or
otherwise?

Interestingly, I have never seen any papers on combined foods and its impact
on Insuline response.

Thanks.

Just my 2 cents.
