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.

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

(Pssst, I hope you read your article.)

What kind of knucklehead do you think I am?

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.

Any good references would be appreciated.

Try almost anything you can find when you search simultaneously for “diabetes” “australia” “glycemic”.
