Note that on point #4: his exact words are "[...] Short chains get metabolized very quickly, leading to a 'sugar rush', and long chains can be difficult to digest. I use only oligosaccharides, like Maltodextrin, for Carbohydrates. [...]" and from the wikipedia page on maltodextrin "[...]Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose,[...]" However metabolism != absorption and "[...]Maltodextrin is typically composed of a mixture of chains that vary from three to seventeen glucose units long.[2] [...]" Something which tells me that Maltodextrin will take longer to be metabolized than Disaccharides.
