The point is that the pulp of the summer squash is pretty darn mushy but there is still skin and seeds to get rid of first. Whereas winter squash is just mushy altogether since you can't eat the skin and seeds. My gut feeling is that there is a difference in the pulp too but that is just a guess. I don't feel summer squash is as easily digestable as winter squash since summer squash is more like a cucumber. Not that we should be afraid of IF in veggies! but we should know the difference between summer and winter squash. I hope this makes sense.
What I am thinking is that it is true SF if it mashes like a potatoe which winter squash definitely does. Summer squash doesn't mash the same and my gut feeling (no pun intended) is that is has more percentage of IF than winter squash.
