Sherry -- You're not going to like this question, but what are the

ingredients in Grandma's home made sauce? Most spaghetti sauce recipes

include sugar and if you didn't make it, the canned tomatoes probably had

added sugar as well....

It's hte Italian grandma's sauce - fresh tomatoes, basil, a little

olive oil, salt, a touch of parmesian, and meat (can't specific the

meat - it's the family recipe).

She wouldn't dream of using sugar, thinks if you use the right

tomato you don't need it.

You know it occurred to me that the South Beach Diet is a lot like if not

the same as the GL Diet for diabetics..

It rates every food on a 1-100 scale and tells you to stay away from foods

that rate over 70 as they raise your insulin levels which put glucose in

your muscles and make it impossible for your muscles to burn fat instead of

the glucose in them while you sleep.

Also there are ways to ear pasta such as al dente (barely cooked) that don't

raise your glucose as fast..

Also eating high carb bad carb things with fat can slow the raising of

glucose levels therefore making them easier on your body...

Anyway its an interesting read and I think this site is soo vast it might be

worth a read..

I printed out the rating system and whoa I can keep it in my purse..

Click around a bit if your interested..

I learned a lot...

It's like the whole key to staying healthy is to not eat this crap food that

raises your glucose level.
