Re: Screening of antiproliferative effect of aqueous extracts of plant foods

As I read this "include a variety of non-starchy vegetables and of fruit" I interpret it as avoiding starchy vegetables (corn, peas, potatoes) as the slides following recommend a variety of colors and fruits/veg that would not be low GI. Maybe we are splitting hairs here.

The following are the references for the WINS and WHEL studies to which I made reference.
