"We know that most of the saturated fats in the blood triglycerides of

for circulating fat. First, the body stores, which are very slow to
change to circulating fat. Second, the diet, which we controlled. This
leaves the third source, the body's production of new fats."

The low fat high card diet used was a high calorie liquid sugar
solution.
The same researchers mentioned in the link you provided have shown
that this result disappears when starch is used as opposed to " high
calorie sugar water".

So once again:

1.
High calorie sugar solutions consumed in a small time interval have a
unique effects that disappear when the same amount of starch is
consumed in the same time period.

If we make the not ureasonable assumption that this is an effect
triggered by the speed with which the sugar drink raises the BG, and
the same amount of starch eaten has a lower enough GI not to trigger
the effect, then all that would have to be done to trigger the effect
with starch would be to eat enough more of the starch that the
glycemic load reached the same level as that of the sugar.

How much more? Am I right in assuming that for a specific time
interval GL is GI times quantity ingested?
