Re: Italian mystery solved?

[Guest guest]

In a post yesterday (no quotes, sorry, I deleted it before the significance

struck me) it was mentioned that injesting lemon or vinegar before a heavy

carbo load actually reduced blood glucose levels. The person had a broccoli

salad with vinegar and then ate a pizza (verry high GI). He measured his

blood sugar levels and found they went down.

It occured to me today that this is just what I often found in Italy. Often

an antipasto with vinegar (be it seafood salad, artichokes etc) or a salad,

then the meal, and again a salad with lots of balsamico afterwards.

hmmmm...a way to cheat?
