Re: FW: diet for type 1 diabetics

[Guest guest]

According to an excellent source, the original man (i.e. Adam) was

instructed to eat of any " seed bearing plant " and " tree that has fruit "

(Genesis 1:30). This literally means anything that grows, including whole

grains. This isn't the forum for a theological discussion, and I am not a

vegetarian proponent, but it is possible to argue the case for not eating

meat if you look no further than the first 2 chapters in Genesis. I suppose

the bottom line is that foods that raise the bg level more quickly and to

higher levels are the underlying factor in causing diabetes, and cereal

grains no doubt will do this if abused. Anyway, now that I understand where

this man is coming from a little better I'll stick with my own basic theory

of variety tempered by moderation.
