    How Dangerous is High-Fructose Corn Syrup?

    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...

    How Dangerous is High-Fructose Corn Syrup?

    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...

    Muffins for Diabetics

    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...
