[QUOTE="Edwardia, post: 103709, member: 22408"] What bothers me as a new member of this forum, is how divisive the Low Carb issue is here. Surely, it's common sense, to avoid highly processed, genetically modified,irradiated, chemical-laden foodstuffs if we can ? Organic may not be nutritionally superior,but it certainly doesn't have pesticide residues. How much of a contribution do they make to diabetes, coeliac or IBS ? Eating as healthily as we (realistically) can, is the responsibility of each of us. Most people would say that eating junk food takeaways, crisps, sweets, cakes, biscuits and pizza were unhealthy. So I have no sympathy for the I'm-going-to-carry-on-eating-biscuits-and-kebabs brigade, when they develop problems which lower BG would minimise. On the other hand, the evangelism for Low Carb here,to the point that someone asks about the carbs in a carrot, is,IMNSHO pretty obsessive. For those people who restrict the pleasure out of their diet, don't see a big difference in their BG numbers and have to take drugs,are going to feel like complete failures. That's not good, we're supposed to be in the same lifeboat together,supporting each other,surely ? [/QUOTE]
