I never said glucose. I always said insulin. When I speak about carbohydrate addicts I always talk about insulin. And that's why fiber causes an increase in insulin and therefore appetite. Because as far as a CAs insulin knows, you've put food in you're mouth. It doesn't care that it's fiber and won't be digested further down the road or AS which has no calories. To the CA's body, it's food and cases an insulin affect. And the fact that it's carbs, fiber is carbohydrate, causes even more of an insulin affect. And then you have the wonderball of insulin affect. With ever increasing hunger and cravings resulting.

This isn't my own personal theory, though I've personally experienced it. It's here and it's in the Heller's books. That you choose not to give it credence is your choice. You've asked for the research and I gave it to you.

Note: It took me a while because you have to put in specific terms for it to come up.
