You may be right but short blood sugar "spikes" are part of what satiate hunger. the problem is how long the blood sugar stays high. It is fact, not opinion, that excess dietary fat keeps your blood sugar higher for longer. Actually bananas come in at a medium GI and GL which puts them well below a lot of whole grain foods.

So what I'm saying is that you are right bananas will increase your blood sugar, but if you have a very low fat diet that isn't a problem.
