I don't know what my tung is. I known what Tung Oil is and I have used it
in refinishing. I do not eat sugar alcohols in any way, shape or form.

Yes, low blood sugar. And, while you *could* use any carb you would be ill
advised to do so. Fat delays the absorption of carbs. So eating chocolae
is a *bad* way to treat a hypo.
Keep in mind that I have gastroparesis. So the foods that affect *my* BG
the least are things like a potato with no skin, white bread, white rice,
etc. Provided that I don't eat too much of them. Now you can see why your
precious GI is useless to me. For a very long time I could not eat things
like whole grains because they raised my BG too much. As do lentils which
according to the GI should be a good food for diabetics. Beans are great
for me!

Sure! This is probably the best link:
http://www.mendosa.com/gi.htm
And this is not new news. This article dates to 2006:
http://www.azcentral.com/health/diet...1glycemic.html
This one mentions that it was derived from young, healthy subjects and it
also mentions the flaws.
http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/m...lycemic-index/
There are plenty of other links but I won't bother. You can look them up if
you want. This has been discussed at length here already over the years.
