Default Glycemic Load

Hi Shelley and Curious,

I just sprinkle cinnamon powder on my food. Whole Foods would have cinnamon. I get mine by the pound from Wilderness Family Naturals.

Most people now know this but not everyone. Here is an article titled "The Harmful Effects of High Gycemic Load Diets." Everyone, but especially diabetics need to take into account the glycemic load of their meals as much as the glycemic index of the individual foods they eat. This is why the diet to lower triglycerides (See earlier post titled "The Apple Figure and Insulin Sensitivity) is helpful:

Shelley - hopefully you are not diabetic, but in case your need to take Lyrica has anything to do with diabetic neuropathy, you might want to check out the link to information about benfotiamine in my earlier post titled, "Benefits of Benfotiamine"
