Glycemic and insulinemic responses to regular and fermented milk
Gee, yet another reason to avoid dairy? Do we really need another? The high allergenicity, presence of hormones and pesticides and antibiotics are not enough? Now we find that milk has a glycemic index close to that of white bread. When the milk is fermented, such as in yogurt, the glycemic index lowers dramatically. This would put milk into the category as refined sugars and should be avoided in anyone concerned about insulin resistance or diabetes.
