ok so the fat might slow the rate at which the simple starch's enter your system, but how can it slow down the functions that cause insulin spikes.

I mean we all know, never mix carbs with fat, especially the simple carbs.

So he's saying that donuts and ice cream are health food? That's rich!

If the insulin spike is lessened, it is only by a minimal amount, nothing that would make a difference. Plus total intake is another factor with an insulin spike.

I would just let it go. Debating something like this with a professor is like trying to convince a holy roller that god doesn't exist, or trying to convince an insane person who wants to outlaw abortion that it isn't murder. Sure, you would be right, but all you are going to do is piss that person off. Which is fine when it's some schmuck you could give a rat's ass about. However, when that schmuck happens to hold some power over you, like what grade you will receive, then you need to learn how to play the game.

Most people think college is so you can learn the truth. That is correct. However, the truth isn't facts, it's how to play the game. If you play to win, you might win. If you don't, you'd better have a wealthy family who doesn't need to play the game.

on a lighter note. in my 3rd year of university, i took an advanced organic chemistry course and the topic of DMSO came up as being some sort of catalyst in some reaction that we were discussing. anyhow, out of nowhere, my prof starts talking about how DMSO is used by powerlifters and bodybuilders in Fina administration! needless to say, it was one of the highlights of the course!
