Most do not have a dietician on staff in the doctor offices.  They usually ask

if you want to go to a dietician if you have many questions or they just say,

" Eat more salads " .  They don't have a clue.  My husband who is on dialysis has

a dietician on staff at the lab he goes to.  But even then it is sketchy.

I am so lucky to have the Dr. that I have. He is quit knowledgeable about

diabetes. A childhood friend of mine just had a heart attack in Feb. She has had

the same Dr. for years, we talked about what tests her Dr. had given her as she

grew older - we are both 78. Thru our conversation, she discovered that her Dr.

was not taking as good of care as he should have.

My Dr. admitted that his training was lacking in nutrition, but he has done a

lot of reading and has a Registered Dietitian on staff that I get to chat with

and ask questions.

Re: Crazy Medical question

You are lucky your doc even knows what HFCS is, EW! Most don't and would rather

just give you a pill and have you go on eating crappy stuff, since most are

totally clueless about nutrition! Count your blessings! My doctor refuses to

believe that changing my eating habits led to my miraculous recovery!

With you eating so many veggies, any doctor should know that was the reason, I'd

think.  But they don't do herbs because it isn't regulated and don't know how

much you actually get and I understand that. 

 

But the usual and I've gotten it from 2 doctors is to eat more salads.  That is

it.

High Fructose Corn Syrup, you wouldn't believe (or maybe you would), what health

purge of all food products that contained MSG (and it's many other forms and

HFCS in it. So far I found a jar of mustard with it in it.

I thought fructose was the sugar in fruit.  But corn syrup comes from corn.  I

am not quite sure why they are together.  Do you know?

Fructose comes from a lot of different plants, including some flowers.
