Do we really need to keep stressing over the GI in everyday life? NOOOOO! People tend to forget this was created back in the 1980s as a tool for diabetics and unfortunately found its way into the real world messing up the mind of healthy individuals and convincing them it is the worst thing in the world to focus on the glycemic index of foods.
