Heidi - 

I think I seem to be debating this one with myself, too!

Are we really talking about either/or here?  What about the "fat burning
on a flame of glycogen" thing?  Don't we need the glycogen to keep the
FFA's in the gut & the body-fat-as-needed fires burning?  

Of course I'd rather stay away from major peaks & valleys in glycemia,
but don't we need some sugars along the way?  I'm not talking about a
bucketful of grain, but some is necessary, right?
