Quite right, @DavidGrahamJones , quite right.
For me, I had to completely re-learn to cook whole foods, really. Learn how to cook with spices and herbs. Apart from the good old roast which I was born being able to do, it would seem. And absolutely, it is great being able to eat such good wholesome food at my own table and share with friends and family for sure.
I don't think wholesome food is an key to the lock of good health just for us blood glucose dysregulated folk! I was at a bbq last night (I'm in the southern hemisphere), and we got around to discussing the interesting times we live in with conflicting or outdated dietary advice confusing the hell out of most people, and I mentioned that I need to know this stuff, as in the truth about good diet, as it is a life saver for me. A lovely couple were being very sympathetic but insisting this stuff was of no interest to them or their family. And then it turns out that he was suffering very badly from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and arthiritis, and one of their children was very intolerant of both wheat and dairy (which I had said was exceedingly common). I actually gasped. "But this information absolutely applies to you and your family!" As the mother was from the Phillipines, I suggested that dairy intolerance, nor would wheat be, was not an outrageous or surprising factor for her offspring. And of course, the excess carb connection to RA has been made scientifically. (I said it in a very friendly fashion, I promise.) As I discussed the fact that RA as an autoimmune disease was not caused by mechanical factors, as arthritis is, but things that go into the body (ie, food and toxins, and food that acts like a toxin to some folk). The gentleman then told me he didn't know what his affliction was, after all, as he staggered up from the table with crutches to get away from me, and the lovely lady from the Phillipines told me about buffalo milk , and I realised I had to leave the poor couple alone.
The effect of wheat and dairy on wheat and dairy intolerant people, and excess carbs on carb intolerant people is WAY more wide ranging than 'just' to the huge amount of people in the world who suffer from hyperglycemia at the moment in our current food environment. IMHO at any rate.
