Well consuming too much high amylopectin starch has been linked to insulin resistance. In the LONG term that could, yes, lead to diabetes I guess but in general it would reverse once someone stopped consuming so much of that starch. But that's using really high levels as an intregal part of the diet. Not necessarily the amounts some might use around their workouts. So it may depend on how sesitive you are to it.

But basically what I meant is that is may cause abnormal fluctuations in your sugar levels which would go away once you decreased the amounts or stopped taking it.

I think it is important to keep in mind that our bodies have not previously (in nature) come into contact with such high levels of this starch. It's a little "unnatural" in that regard. I'm not saying it's evil or it's going to kill you only that it hits the bloodstream super super fast in high levels. Which is good for our purposes but should be used with caution.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
