Well look at it this way. If your mix high GI carbs with Low GI carbs for IMMEDIATELY post workout and so theoretcially bring the whole meal somewhere toward the middle then WHAT is the purpose of having the dex, malto, whatever? Any solids you put in your stomach at that time will just slow the absorbtion of everything across the board. Any advantage of having high GI carbs will be mostly lost. So why bother. If you don't believe that high GI carbs are the exclusive way to go you may as well go with a meal somewhere in the middle.

The idea of having high GI carbs is specific to the advantage of fast absorption and delivery to muscles during the so called window of oppurtunity after the workout. Taking advantage of the insulin spike, the fast delivery of carbs to the blood and the primed and insulin sesitive nature of the muscles at that time. If you are not doing that then I see no point in having dex at all except just to up the carb count in which case malto would probably be a more comfortable choice.

But remember it is the GI load of the meal as a whole that matters and not the individual GI's of it's components.

BTW, there is a big difference between 80 grams of dextrose and 80 carb grams from dextrose.

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