A couple of comments on the recent Quest Nutrition fiasco: I completely concur with Layne Nortons comments made in this video: youtu.be/FviIXAvUj_U I had hoped I could say the same about Jason Blahas video on the same subject (youtu.be/sZEB3XsHoQo). Unfortunately, one of his central claims - that protein, per gram, is more insulinogenic than carbohydrates (including sugars) - struck me as questionable. Wanting to be fair to Jason, I went back and reread the best study Ive seen regarding the relative insulin responses to the consumption of a variety of different types of foods (ajcn.nutrition.org/content/66/5/1264.full.pdf). Unless I have severely misunderstood some part of this research, it does appear to strongly disconfirm Jasons claim. Although I recommend you read the entire study, a comparison between Table 2 and Table 4 (on pages 4 and 6, respectively) should provide you with enough information to draw your own conclusions, responsibly. Thanks for reading. - Ian
