I don't see too many surprises in that chart.   Most of the divergences were on
items that normally aren't on the glycemic index chart at all (like paleo
foods).

Note that the following statement:

"  Total carbohydrate (r = 0.39, P < 0.05, n = 36) and sugar (r =
 0.36, P < 0.05,n = 36) contents were positively related to the mean
 insulin scores, whereas fat (r = -0.27, NS, n = 36) and protein (r =
 -0.24, NS ,n = 38) contents were negatively related. "

is pretty much what Drs Eades and Sears have been saying.
