Thanks for posting that study! I can't imagine someone drinking enough soda that 17-25% of their daily energy intake would be fructose!:sick:

I eat eggs and dairy, but no red meat, chicken, or fish.:smile:

I tend to graze throughout the day, eating 6 or more small meals or snacks. I am a diabetic, too, and on multiple daily injections (4 shots/day). I find that eating small amounts often helps to balance the BG more than 3 big meals. Plus, I get to have a larger variety of foods. I don't really...

So, if we took all the products that currently are sweetened with HFCS and substituted sucrose, our foods would suddenly be healthier? NOT meant sarcastically, but I don't think so.:smile: It's because we (Americans, not the people on this board) have drastically increased our consumption of...

From CSPI: From what I gathered on the website, CSPI is primarily against HFCS because it is made from GMO corn and manufactured using GM bacteria(biotechnology), not for nutritional reasons; however, it may be a consideration for environmentally conscious consumers. Maybe it's not the...

Okay, here I am psoting a link to a site that lists common foods made with HFCS: Accidental Hedonist - Foods and Products Containing High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) Most of the foods on the lists are pop-tarts, cookies, candy, ice cream, and crackers. Maybe it is the foods we are consuming...

Canned pineapple has been heated during the canning process which deactivates the enzyme bromelain (hope I spelled that right). That is the enzyme that helps break down a ham when you cook it with pineapple and is used to chemically age some meats. I am so happy I have no allergies, but I...

I am sincerely sorry if you found the size of the quote offensive. I was not implying anything; it is exactly how I cut and pasted it from the ADA site. I belive that the ADA is a credible source of information (and I do admit bias, as I am about to become an RD soon). They didn't base their...

Black beans with white rice tossed with lime, garlic, and cilantro. Add onion salt to taste. Yum!

Hi, Healthy Gourmet! I'm new, too and your job sounds awesome. I am a senior in college (dietetics) and I loved all of my cooking and menu planning classes. i hope to see some delicious recipes!:smile:

I have the Wusthof Grand Prix 8 inch. I love it! I have small hands and it works well for me. I paid about 100.00, maybe a bit less, at a local gourmet store.

Apple cider vinegar dressing is da bomb and it has NO carbs! Also, recent studies indicate that vinegar might help control BG, but this is prelimenary. 2/3 apple cider vinegar 1/3 canola oil (one of the healthier oils) add Splenda, garlic, onion powder, parsley, celery salt, Italian herbs to...

Hi, my name is Claire, too, but no "i".! I would find a muffin mix that uses whole wheat flour or has bran or oats added for fiber and toss in the blueberries. A mix from a box should give the carb count for 1 portion. Look up the carb count for about 1 cup of blueberries (I just got 21.3...

Read about halfway through the article until you get to the section on the safety of fructose; it discusses HFCS. Here it is copied::wink: Is fructose safe? The safety of fructose, both crystalline fructose and high-fructose corn syrup, has been thoroughly and consistently documented in...

I'm new to the site and thought I would share a vegetarian recipe that is easy to make in the slow-cooker and delicious. 1/2 cup diced onions 1/2 cup diced celery 1 cup of baby carrots or coin sliced carrots 1 large potato, diced with skin on 1/2 cup frozen mixed veggies 1 can of garbanzo...

Here's what the ADA (American Dietetic Association) has to say: http://www.eatright.org/ada/files/FRUCTOSE.pdf

Hi, I have diabetes (insulin dependant) and I try to stay away from anything with refined grains (white bread, pasta, rice). If you serve a starch, make sure it is whole grain or potatoes with skins on in a small portion. Pick lots of vegetables and beans to fill up the main dish and provide...

Hi, everyone! I just joined this forum and I think it will be a lot of fun.:chef: About me: I am a 30 year old female and I like to make soap, lotion, and candles for a hobby. Of course, I love to cook and bake, too.:wink: I have been in the foodservice industry for 14 years and currently...
