"Incidentally, Des Maison argues (erroneously, in my
opinion) that a potato
is superior to a refined carbohydrate (like candy) because
it slowly
releases its glucose thus preventing "beta-endorphin
priming" and the
downregulation of neuroreceptors.  This is a faulty argument
because the
glycemic index reveals that a potato creates an equivalent
glucose and
insulin spike as many refined carbohydrates."

So!  Just what refined Carb was available to My 10 X -5
Grandparents?
