The simple/complex dichotomy has long been abandoned. The article you point to says so but then it goes on into the more modern glycemic index approach to judging carbohydrate sources.

(Pssst, I hope you read your article.)

It has a something that's a chronic error ~ the difficulty with fructose ~ or fruit sugar. Ordinarily these sugars are so wrapped up in fibers they aren't a real problem. When fruits and vegetables are turned into juice, the sugar is no longer well wrapped and you might as well be eating sugar by the spoonful.

I eat several pieces of fresh fruit every day - A banana, some raisins, one or more peaches, nectarines, or plums, perhaps an orange, and usually two or three apples - depending on which ones are in season. And my glucose averages below 100, both morning and late evening.

Any good references would be appreciated. Glucose excursions appear to be also dependent on various amylase enzymes.

What kind of knucklehead do you think I am?
