[QUOTE="debrasue, post: 1217786"] Hmmm, you raise a good point here, [USER=196960]@ickihun[/USER] and I'm interested in [USER=160151]@busydiabeticmum[/USER]'s post about the seaweed, too. They used to treat thyroid disorders with kelp due to the iodine in it, and apparently women, particularly, are prone to thyroid disorders, especially when they are restricting their diet. Much of our table salt, of course, is iodised, but apparently the iodine it contains is only 10% bio-available (able to be completely absorbed by the body), so it's not sufficient for our daily needs. Dairy, eggs and seafood are all good sources of iodine, but seaweed is even better. Interestingly, there have been a number of reports recently regarding the connection between hypothyroidism and diabetes and its effect on BG control. Here's just one example, but there are lots of others if you care to Google them: [URL]http://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/about-diabetes/general-diabetes-information/thyroid-disorders-and-diabetes/[/URL] I think I'm going to be adding some nori to my shopping list! :) [/QUOTE]
