And the bugs don't like the higher Brix plants (which indicates a healthy plant?)so bugs stay away from these plants. Mighty interesting!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Right, and who paid for this study? I see the grain council behind this one. Elainie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potatoes are high carb, but bland unless you put the (high fat) butter and sour cream and bacon on them. Rice and bread, too, usually need embellishment.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Hi , The " low carb " diet was an exercise in absurdity. Here are portions of the menus for both diets. Anyway I hope that's not a complete menu for low-carb. " The high-carb diet included lots of fruits and vegetables (much more than the low-carb diet), as well as high-fiber cereal and vegetarian chili. But the menu for the low-carb group included macaroni and cheese and French fries! And on an all-you-can-eat basis!
