[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 900369, member: 93504"] Noblehead wrote, "There's no way you could compare them (bananas) to a Mars Bar". Being of a curious disposition, and, most unusually, in possession of a banana, I decided to test this hypothesis. A quick internet search indicated that a typical banana (yes, I weighed mine, sad, isn't it) would contain 23g of carb, compared with the Mars Bar's 40g. While there is not much else of interest in the Mars Bar, the banana contains 20% of daily requirements of Vit B-6, 14% of VitC, 10% of potassium and traces of iron and Vit A. While all these bits and bobs are useful, for anyone controlling diabetes by keeping carbs low rather than through medication, I would suggest finding these nutrients elsewhere and continuing to picture the said plantain in a brown confectionery wrapper.
