Glycemic index values are variable, report researchers

Researchers from Tufts University reported that multiple glycemic index value determinations using a simple test food, white bread, resulted in a relatively high level of inter-individual and intra-individual variability. Further studies will focus on better defining the magnitude and the sources of the variability. The intent is to better understand how glycemic index relates to chronic disease risk in a range of individuals.

10. Elderly spinal cord injuries increase five-fold in 30 years, Jefferson neurosurgeons find
    03-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Spinal cord injuries among senior citizens (70 and above) have increased five times in the past 30 years, as compared with younger spinal cord injury patients, researchers report. As the U.S. population ages, an estimated 20 percent of its population will be older than age 65 by the year 2040, and will likely impact spine surgeons and spinal cord rehabilitation centers as these patients become a larger proportion of the spinal cord injury population.
