Re: A Good CR Diet Also Defeats Diabetes [Was -- CR and Diabetes]

Thanks Warren,

Although someone else had mentioned the " zone diet " I didn't realize

it had any real connection to CR. I've never read any of these

books, so I guess I will. I also need to get a glycemic index, as

has already suggested. I've never paid attention to that,

either.

It's encouraging to hear you present CR as so " easy " and infallible

(even for an out of control diabetic) -- and especially that you

aren't even hungry. All of those are surprises.

P.S. I *KNOW* I've read that sprouts are actually not too healthy, as

they supposedly contain all sorts of toxins which are, apparently,

meant to discourage other animals from eating them. Careful there!

I don't know about healthy, but I do know sprouts give me the runs if I don't cook them. Especially bean sprouts. I stick with fresh produce.
