Expertise
I will be happy to answer questions regarding the use of low glycemic foods, the glycemic index, and the concept of glycemic load with regards to the use of low glycemic diets for health management and/or weight loss
Experience in the area
I have conducted substantial personal research on the use of low glycemic foods to improve health and help with weight management, using original research data and scientific/medical publications. My professional background ass a Professor of Biology has been of great help in allowing me to separate establsihed scientific principles from speculation, hype, and popular myths.
