[QUOTE="azure, post: 973940, member: 39639"] I found a reference to it online if you're interested, along with a statement from Boots: [URL]http://www.positivehealth.com/article/diabetes/the-illusions-of-diabetic-branded-produce[/URL] ". [B]A Boots UK Spokesperson commented: (March 19th 2010)[/B] "Boots UK takes the opinion of customers very seriously. In 2002, on the advice of Diabetes UK we removed our Diabetic Food Range.
