In general you want green leafy and above ground vegetables. They are

usually low starch or lower glycemic. It is below ground vegetables,

carrots, and potatoes that are high glycemic. Fruits should be about

2 a day. Berries are better than citrus fruits. Sweet potatoes and

yams are medium glycemic when compared to russet, white, or red

potatoes. Tomatos are a fruit low glycemic. Here is one site with a

low carb nutrition guide:

I notice the guy on this site seems to be heavilty against Milk.

[Guest guest]

I did hear him once say that he considered Raw milk possibly a health food

but since it is not readily available he doesn't talk about it much.

I think Mercola may be a bit conflicted on raw milk. He definitely thinks

the typical stuff is bad news, He lays out his arguments at this link

http://www.mercola.com/article/Diet/milk/no_milk.htm However at the bottom

of the article (if you get there) he says this--or I think it's his writing

there is no other name listed as author.

" " Hopefully, you will reconsider your position on using milk as a form of

nourishment. Small amounts of milk or milk products taken infrequently, will

likely cause little or no problems for most people. However, the American

Dairy Board has done a very effective job of marketing this product. Most

people believe they need to consume large, daily quantities of milk to

achieve good health. NOTHING could be further from the truth.Public health

officials and the National Dairy Council have worked together in this

country to make it very difficult to obtain wholesome, fresh, raw dairy

products. Nevertheless, they can be found with a little effort. In some

states, you can buy raw milk directly from farmers.Whole, pasteurized,

non-homogenized milk from cows raised on organic feed is now available in

many gourmet shops and health food stores. It can be cultured to restore

enzyme content, at least partially. Cultured buttermilk is often more easily

digested than regular milk; it is an excellent product to use in baking.Many

shops now carry whole cream that is merely pasteurized (not ultra

pasteurized like most commercial cream); diluted with water, it is delicious

on cereal and a good substitute for those allergic to milk. Traditionally

made creme fraiche (European style sour cream), it also has a high enzyme

content. "

His conflicts are stated here at this link

http://www.mercola.com/2001/jun/30/infant_nutrition.htm where he comments

on an article by Sally on infant nutrition. I'm a little perolexed by the

no other animal species does this so we probably shouldn't argument. I

think it's hard to milk another species without opposable thumbs, so that

cuts done on animals having it available. Also following this line of

reasoning I'm surprised Dr. Mercola wears clothes, I don't know of one other

animal species that does this (maybe this'll flush out some comments from

any nudists on the list)
