>Any idea how much "too much" might be? And what the >mechanism with carb metabolization is? 'speeding up' is a bit slipshod, i think 'kickstarting' may be more accurate. it was my experience anyway with using about 1 gram. horrid hypoglycemia. i think Rob Mcferrin explains about this. he is an interesting writer but has no site as such, but writes about metabolic typing. worth a look at. andrew
