Dr David Jenkins som upptäckte Glycemic Index uppmanar oss att äta en vegansk kost.
Jenkins äter givetvis en vegansk kost själv.

"Earlier this year, Jenkins – a Canada Research Chair in nutrition, metabolism and vascular biology, a professor in the department of nutritional sciences, faculty of medicine at the University of Toronto, and scientist at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute of St. Michael’s Hospital – became the first Canadian recipient of the Bloomberg Manulife Prize for the Promotion of Active Health. In a celebratory public conversation about his research, he shared with the crowd that he follows a Vegan diet."
