Thanks, Tom, EXCELLENT explanation of glycemic index. A really great
article. If this is part of a longer published article or book (or
both), may I have the reference, please? Would like to read more by
this author. I've always thought glycemic index was a major key to
performance in any equine athlete (though you and I have gone 'round and
'round about what carbo is best <g>). It's exciting to see some
concrete information and discussion in print, it's almost non-existent
in equine sports medicine literature---just a minimal discussion in
Hodgson's book The Athletic Horse and references to good studies by
Laurie Lawrence. Still waiting for the studies under endurance
conditions.

Thanks again, that was alot of typing. Good stuff.

Susan
