I am new to the Glycemic Index, having just purchased "The New Glucose Revolution" and having just recently received my first edition of "GI News" (which is great, BTW. Thank you for maintaining this newsletter).

I do have one suggestion for the the GI News newsletter, though.

Would you be able to compile the newsletter into Adobe's PDF format? I think that it would fit better on printed pages, with the side-benefit of probably requiring less printed pages. You see, I would like to print the GI News and take it with me for some interesting reading on my train commutes.

Thank you for considering.

Steve, we chose the blog format because it's interactive and inexpensive (you choose a template and drop the text and images in so there are no design costs). However, it's a meaty newsletter (wait for March it's even meatier), so we'll have a think about making each issue available in a pdf format as well for commuters like most of us who want to print it out and read it on the train.
