Glycemic Index hype

Quoted message said:

Does the GI of a food change (possibly lowers) if you consume it with
other food?

For example, a baked potatos GI would be higher than a baked potato
eaten with sour cream?

Whatever you are attempting to do or even trying to learn, you are
over-thinking it. The answer is irrelevant.

Regardless, the answer is yes.

I appreciate the response Bob, but I'm not trying to do anything. I
was reading several different posts of people basing their entire diets
on the GI of foods. I thought that was ridiculous, considering there
are so many variables of how food affects each individual.

Sorry my response was so terse. We are on the same wavelength. My job
entails trying to deal with childhood obesity at the population level,
not individual level. Hence the GI of food becomes irrelevant in the
face of the "system" for the population. People are couped up (for a
range of reasons) and food is cheap (for most people); best way to
fatten an animal.
