I wish they would have tested further out than 120 minutes in case part of the effect was not digesting the carbs until later (vs just lowering spikes). One of the books I read on blood sugar talked about some hard to digest pasta that will take 3-5 before the glucose spikes up from it.

Within a few weeks, a male engineer who had also graduated from college four years earlier was hired for Ms. Ellis’s team — as a Level 4 employee. That meant he received a higher salary and had more opportunities for bonuses, raises and stock compensation, according to the suit. Other men on the team whose qualifications were equal to or less than hers were also brought in at Level 4, the suit says.:

I had the v2 impossible burger a few weeks ago. It felt close to regular meat, had a similar mouth feel, but the flavor was a bit off so I only ate two bites. I'm looking forward to trying their next version.
