Re: no way!!!!!

honey is terrible (from what ive learned and read...pure fructose - fruit sugar).

Honey is only around 30% fructose...

Pure dextrose may have a higher GI rating than pure honey when the two are consumed ALONE - but when they are combined and consumed with other foods (i.e., protein) the insulin response is relatively similar (or at least, so small as to not make any significant difference with respect to blood sugar levels).

This is generally the problem with the GI index to begin with ---> namely that foods are considered independently of each other - as though we went around eating individual foods one at a time - rather than combining them in our meals.

what you think of grape juice or grapefruit juice? when leaning?

Well - that might be pushing it - because grape fruit juice IS pure fructose (I think)....

....but I'm actually beginning to think that any simple sugar combined with protein will suffice for a post-workout meal....

I just can't see the resultant insulin spike being THAT much different among dextrose, glucose, fructose, etc., (when they are combined with protein).....

I'm not going to use the old "sugar is sugar" line - but all monosaccharides have the same chemical formula (C6 H12 O6) - it is merely the arrangement of the atoms that give them different physical properties (i.e., glucose tends to crystallize whereas fructose is often syrupy...)

At the very least we can all agree that eating a post-workout meal with SOME form of simple carbs combined with protein is better than nothing at all!!!
