That's a measure of how quickly a food is broken down and absorbed by the body, and it's the driving principle behind such weight-loss plans as the Atkins and South Beach diets. But while scientific studies have documented the impact of too much dietary fat and carbohydrate on the body - making us heavier and increasing our risk of diabetes and heart disease - the evidence has not been as clear for high- or low-glycemic index foods. So, a new study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association adds...
Jenkins is the first to admit that the glycemic index of particular foods is only one of many dietary factors that may impact heart disease risk in diabetes patients. Critics of the glycemic-index concept note that the way the body processes food - and the time that it takes to break it down - is affected by myriad factors, including how food is cooked, in what combinations it's eaten, and even what time of day a person eats. Al dente pasta, for example, has a lower glycemic index than fully cooked pasta, and for some people, eating later...

But Afghanistan is physically larger than Iraq and more than 75 percent of all Afghans live in remote rural communities where the Taliban now has a significant base of support. Controlling a growing Taliban insurgency across this vast countryside will be impossible with just 58,000 American soldiers. Our NATO allies are showing...
