"How high the peak is is all that really counts".
You severely underestimate the bodies predictive capability. There are 21+ pathways feeding into the insulin response system, all of them trying to prepare the internal system to get rid of glucose. Thought, taste, smell etc all contribute to our predictive capability.
The point is that the body tries to predict the amount of glucose ingested to minimise peaks. A long term marker of the bodies success at this is hba1c.
I'd love to see a reference for your last claim. Surely the mechanism of fat storage in periods of high sugar availability would be a desirable trait?
