A single study, examining whole milk and fermented milk products made from whole milk, recently reported a large dissociation between the GI and insulinemic index (II) in healthy normals. Because the fat component of a food may influence the GI and II, it is unclear if a similar dissociation may exist for skim milk in normals. We determined the GI and II of both skim and whole milk in nine healthy, male and female subjects. Significant differences were observed between the actual and predicted areas under the insulin curves for both skim milk and whole milk.Consequently, a large and similar dissociation of the GI and II existed for both whole milk (42
